Wikipedia defines car-free islands as “islands inhabited by humans which have legally restricted or eliminated vehicle traffic from their territories.”
Schiermonnikoog qualifies as car-free, since driving is prohibited unless one has been granted special dispensation.
That being said, although high on my list, I haven't visited yet, so I can't say how common cars really are.
