The car market in Mallorca has its own particularities: many residents import their vehicle from the mainland and need support with re-registering to Spanish number plates (Matriculación). Local dealers are familiar with this process and can guide you through the bureaucracy at the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico). In Palma, most dealerships are found along the Carretera de Manacor and in the Son Castelló industrial estate. There is also a good selection in Manacor, Inca and Calvià.

Used cars in Mallorca are somewhat more susceptible to corrosion due to the salty sea air – always have the underside checked before purchasing. Many dealers offer warranties on used vehicles and handle the ITV inspection. German and international brands are well represented, and some dealers specifically cater to the German-speaking market.
