The Regulation of the Land Transport Management Act, approved by Royal Decree 1211/1990 of 28 September 1990, was developed in respect of the leasing of vehicles with driver by Order FOM/36/2008, 9 of January.

Several years since its approval, it is necessary to review certain aspects of this standard, mainly those relating to the characteristics of the vehicles and the conditions of service delivery.

In this sense, technological advances in the field of vehicles and engines have allowed, since the order was approved, new models to be introduced in the market that, with less power than existing ones, achieve identical performance and quality with better environmental performance. In order to encourage the use of these new ranges of less polluting vehicles as far as possible, it seems reasonable to reduce the tax power requirement set out in Article 11.1 (a) of the order.

Also, in execution of the forecasts contained in Articles 3, 5 and 15 of Law 16/1987, of 30 July, of Land Transport Management, Article 14.1 of the order establishes a rule of proportionality to facilitate the balanced and harmonious development between the various forms of passenger transport in passenger cars in the same territory, in such a way as to ensure the exercise of administrative powers in the field of transport intercity does not hinder the effectiveness of policies developed by the autonomous communities and local entities in relation to urban transport.

As a supplement to the above criterion, Article 10 of the abovementioned order required that vehicles engaged in the activity of leasing with a driver are normally used in the provision of services intended to provide services to needs related to the territory in which the authorisation in which they are protected is located.

This rule is intended to prevent vehicles authorised in a given territory, taking into account the pre-existing supply of other similar forms of transport, to be used, then, to provide service on a regular basis. another territory whose transport offer was not valued for that purpose.

Nevertheless, the experience gained in the practical application of the aforementioned precept, advises a greater concreteness of the criterion of habituality, which guarantees its effective application.

Finally, it has been tried to reduce the documentation that must go on board the vehicle dedicated to this type of activity, in such a way that it is enough to carry on board the accreditative copy of the contract and it is not necessary to carry the sheet of route in cases where the copy reflects all the required data required for the roadmap.

In its virtue, according to the authorization contained in the 11th additional provision of the Regulations of the Law of Land Transport Management, I have:
