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.

Low-cost rental tips
- 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.
