The Ministry of Tourism, Economic Affairs, Transport and Telecommunication (TEATT),
through the Inspectorate of Economic and Transport Affairs (IETA), has published the
list of Car Rental operators that have successfully completed the 2026 Confirmation
Letter Process.
The publication recognizes those operators who have fulfilled the Ministry’s
administrative requirements and whose records have been verified as part of the
ongoing public transportation database clean-up initiative. The initiative is aimed at
establishing an accurate and reliable register of active public transportation operators,
strengthening regulatory oversight, improving enforcement planning, and supporting
evidence-based policy development.
To date, approximately 48 Car Rental companies have successfully completed the
2026 Confirmation Letter Process and have been issued their 2026 Confirmation
Letters.
The Ministry advises all Car Rental permit holders whose names do not appear on the
published list that they have two (2) weeks from the date of this press release to notify
the Inspectorate of Economic and Transport Affairs (IETA) of their operational status
and complete the outstanding Confirmation Letter requirements.
Car Rental operators who have not yet completed the process must submit the required
documentation no later than Monday, September 21 st , 2026, 4:00pm by emailing the
Transport Control Unit at [email protected].
The following documents must be submitted:
Tax Declaration bearing the company’s CRIB number;
Motor Vehicle Inspection Card(s);
Vehicle Insurance Policy for each vehicle or the entire fleet;
Car Rental Permit issued by the Ministry of TEATT;
Chamber of Commerce Registration;
Proof of payment for the 2025 Business and Director’s license (where
applicable);
A Microsoft Excel spreadsheet listing all vehicles within the fleet; and
Copies of all 2026 Road Tax receipts.
Car Rental permit holders who are not currently operating are requested to submit,
before the stated deadline, a signed letter explaining the reason for their inactive status
together with a copy of their Car Rental Permit. This information will allow the Ministry to
accurately update its records and determine the appropriate administrative status of the
permit.
The Ministry reminds permit holders that, pursuant to Article 16(g) of the National
Ordinance on Passenger Transport, the Minister may temporarily suspend or
permanently revoke a permit where it has not been utilized for a continuous period
exceeding six months.
Following the expiration of the two-week notification period, the Ministry will proceed
with the final review of all outstanding Car Rental permits. Operators who fail to respond
or regularize their status may be referred for administrative action in accordance with
the applicable legislation.
The Ministry thanks all Car Rental operators who have already completed the
Confirmation Letter Process and encourages the remaining permit holders to make use
of this final opportunity to ensure their records are current before the database clean-up
initiative is concluded.
