On average, car rentals in Menorca cost around €40 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals available from €10 per day.
Compare pickup spots: Airport (MAH) has the biggest choice but often higher rates. If you’re staying in Maó or Ciutadella, compare town-office prices and factor in opening hours and siesta closings.
Book smart for season: For July–August in Menorca, book 2–3 months ahead. In May–June or September, compare multiple dates and recheck prices as availability changes.
Pick a smaller car: Cheaper to rent and fuel, and way easier to park near beaches and in old towns.
Consider off-airport providers: Many meet you at MAH and shuttle to nearby offices, often at lower prices with shorter queues.
Count the extras: Compare total cost with child seats and extra driver included. In Menorca, some suppliers include an extra driver, and child seats can be €4–€6 per day. Prefer quotes with a full-to-full fuel policy.
Mind hours and minimums: Avoid late-night pickups to skip after-hours fees. In peak season some suppliers require a 3-day minimum, so plan dates accordingly.

What is the best type of car to rent for exploring Menorca? A small or compact car, like a Ford Fiesta or Citroën C3, is great for Menorca's roads and towns. You can park these cars easily in narrow spaces and they can handle the roads to the beaches. If you're travelling with family or more luggage, a compact SUV gives you extra space but is still easy to manage.
Do I need a 4x4 or SUV to reach Menorca's beaches? No, you can get to all the official beach car parks in a standard car. Some roads to the beaches aren't paved, but they are kept in good condition. You can drive on them in any regular car if you go carefully. A car that sits higher off the ground can be more comfortable on rough parts, but you don't need one.
Is it possible to drive around the entire island in one day? Yes, you can see a lot in one day. Menorca is small enough (about 45 kilometres from east to west) that you can drive across it in around 45 minutes. There isn't a single road that goes all the way around the coast, but you can still visit a few different areas in a day. However, to really explore the island and enjoy its beaches, villages and attractions, you should plan for several days so you don't have to rush.
How difficult is parking at popular beaches during summer? In July and August, the car parks at popular beaches like Cala Macarella, Cala en Turqueta and Cala Mitjana fill up very quickly, often by 10 AM. The authorities may close the access roads once the car parks are full. It's best to get there early in the morning (before 9 AM) or visit later in the afternoon when some people have left.
Are there any seasonal driving restrictions I should be aware of? In recent years, the authorities have started to limit car access to some popular spots. For example, during summer they close the Macarella beach road to private cars during the busiest times. You can get a shuttle bus from Ciutadella instead. The road to the Favàritx lighthouse has had similar rules. You should check the current restrictions for these places before you go in the busy season.
