Car Hire on Mallorca
 
 

The main resorts on Mallorca each, of course, provide excellent facilities and services to meet the needs of most visitors, and in fact many visitors to the island never feel the need to wander far at all from either the beach or the hotel pool.

Mallorca does though have so much more to offer and be seen; the fabulous views through our mountains, the unspoilt villages, of which there are still some, the many churches well worth a visit, and even a day just wandering around Palma if you are staying elsewhere on the island.

Hiring a car is well worth it, maybe for just part of your stay, and included here are one or two bits of Mallorca motoring advice, and a selection of links to car hire firms offering Mallorca deals.

We have also included a few pieces of essential information that might be useful when driving on Mallorca.


 

Hiring a car on Mallorca

You will need:

  • Driving Licence for each driver (UK Pink Licence or UK Green licence plus International Driving Permit)
  • Passport
  • Credit Card

Do check your vehicle at the time of collection and ensure any damage is noted before you depart from the hire car pick-up point. Most hire companies expect their vehicles to be returned full of fuel. If returning a car to the airport, there is a petrol station on the airport approach road (exit side) so with only a minor detour filling can be done immediately prior to return.


Hire Car Links

We have included here a few links to Car Hire Firms operating on Mallorca.

We make no recommendations as to which we think is best, and suggest you shop around for the deal that best suits your own particular needs.
