Off-site rental companies run shuttle buses from the terminal to their depots. While often cheaper, this adds time to the pickup process, especially during peak periods.
On average, car rentals in Mallorca cost around €33 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals available from €14 per day.
Compare pickup locations. At Palma Airport (PMI) you’ll find the most choice and competition, while off-airport depots can be cheaper but add shuttle time. If you’re based in a resort like Alcúdia or Pollensa, consider renting only for the days you actually need the car.
Time your booking to the season. For July–August in Mallorca, book 4–6 months ahead. In shoulder or off-peak months, prices are softer, so comparing different dates and checking back can pay off. Also compare daily vs weekly pricing if you’re close to 7 days.
Choose a compact manual. Smaller cars are cheaper and fit Mallorca’s narrow streets. Automatics are limited and usually cost more.
Skip paid extras. Use your phone for navigation, bring your own child seat, and compare additional driver fees. Some local outfits include a second driver at no extra cost.
Pick “full-to-full” and refuel smart. Full-to-full avoids extra fuel charges, and supermarket petrol stations are typically cheaper than highway ones.
Arriving late? After-hours pickup often adds about €50. A taxi to Palma or your resort and collecting the car the next morning can be cheaper overall.

What documents do I need to rent a car in Mallorca? You'll need a valid driver's licence, passport and a credit card. If your licence is from outside the EU, you should also carry an International Driving Permit.
Are there any toll roads in Mallorca? No, Mallorca has no toll roads or bridges. You can use all the main roads for free.
Can I take my rental car on the ferry to other Balearic Islands? Generally no. Most rental companies don't let you take their cars on ferries. You must get clear permission from them first.
How does the Cap de Formentor road restriction work? From June to September, you can't drive a private car on the Formentor peninsula road between 10 am and 10 pm. You'll need to use the official shuttle bus service at these times.
What happens if I get a speeding or parking ticket? The rental company will send the fine to you. They also usually charge a handling fee of about €40.
Is an automatic transmission car easy to find? You can find automatic cars, but there aren't many available. They cost more, so you should book one well ahead of time, especially for summer travel.
