Car Rental in Mallorca
There are 423 car rental companies listed on mallorca.com, with an average rating of 4.2 stars. Whether you need a compact car for a beach holiday, a convertible for the coastal road or an SUV for the Tramuntana mountains, you will find the right hire car here.
Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI) is the main collection point for rental cars. Alongside major international providers such as Sixt, Europcar and Hertz, there are numerous local companies that often offer better prices and a more personal service. Local providers frequently also have offices in Alcúdia, Cala Millor, Magaluf and Pollença.
A hire car is particularly worthwhile in Mallorca if you want to explore the island flexibly: the hidden coves of the east coast, the vineyards around Binissalem or the picturesque mountain villages of Valldemossa and Deià are only comfortably reached by car. Public transport covers the main routes, but for spontaneous excursions a car is invaluable.
When booking, look for fully comprehensive insurance with no excess and check whether a second driver option is included. During high season (July/August), prices rise considerably – booking early saves money. Compare offers on mallorca.com and book directly with your chosen provider.

Is it worth renting a car in Mallorca?

How much is the deposit for a rental car in Mallorca?
The deposit for a rental car in Mallorca typically ranges from €300 to €1,500, depending on the vehicle category and provider.
