Good to know
In Mallorca cars rust faster due to the salty sea air. When buying a used car, pay special attention to the undercarriage.
A car is almost essential in Mallorca – particularly if you live outside Palma. Browse used and new cars from private sellers and dealers. When buying a used car, always check the ITV status and request an Informe de Tráfico. The transfer is handled at the DGT. Note: Spanish vehicles rarely have winter tyres, but air conditioning is standard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do cars rust faster in Mallorca?
The salty sea air accelerates corrosion, particularly on the underbody and brake lines. When buying, check for rust on sills and wheel arches. Regular underbody washes and cavity sealing provide effective protection.
How do I transfer a car to my name in Mallorca?
For the transfer (Transferencia), you need: the purchase contract (Contrato de compraventa), Ficha Técnica, Permiso de Circulación, latest ITV, and proof of ITP payment (4% in the Balearic Islands). This can be done through a Gestoría or at the DGT in Palma.
Where can I find an affordable used car in Mallorca?
Besides mallorca.com, car dealers along the Carretera de Manacor and in Son Castelló are good options. Autoscout24.es and Coches.net also list many vehicles in Mallorca. Buying privately saves you the dealer's margin.
Where can I buy a used car in Mallorca?
