Transport & Logistics in Mallorca

942 businesses found

On Mallorca, Son Sant Joan Airport (PMI) sits at the centre of every transport logistics network — Spain s third-largest airport after Madrid and Barcelona, handling up to 35 million passengers per year in summer. Anyone working on the island or hosting guests needs reliable transfer, taxi and delivery services — plus solid freight forwarders that shuttle between the island and the mainland.

The group covers two sub-categories: Transport and Logistics (freight forwarders, bulk transport, couriers, truck rental, furniture-fitting transport) and Taxi (city taxi, airport transfer, chauffeur service, wheelchair-accessible taxi). Both are tightly regulated: taxis require a local licence (issued per municipality), freight forwarders the Operador de Transporte authorisation from the DGT.

Island-specific: a standard taxi from the airport to Palma costs 18–25 EUR, to Andratx 50–65 EUR, to Pollença 75–95 EUR — fixed zone tariffs set by the CTT board. Uber and Cabify operate as VTC (vehicles with driver) on Mallorca, not as classic taxis — airport wait times are often longer than via local taxi apps (e.g. mytaxi/Free Now, Pidetaxi). Limousine and chauffeur service in peak season 65–120 EUR per hour with a 4-hour minimum. Inter-island freight runs by ferry (Trasmediterránea, Baleària) from Palma; pallet groupage 80–200 EUR, full container 600–1,800 EUR depending on destination.

The sub-categories are linked below. For commercial logistics contracts, a direct freight forwarder with its own mainland link is best; private moves run via the Moving sub-category under Home, Garden & Services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which areas does Transport & Logistics cover?
Two sub-categories: Transport and Logistics (freight forwarders, bulk transport, couriers, truck rental, fitting transport) and Taxi (city taxi, airport transfer, chauffeur service, wheelchair-accessible taxi). Private moves are in the Moving sub-category under Home, Garden & Services.
What does an airport transfer cost on Mallorca?
Fixed tariffs under the Consell del Taxi zone system: airport–Palma 18–25 EUR, airport–Magaluf 35–42 EUR, airport–Andratx 50–65 EUR, airport–Pollença 75–95 EUR, airport–Cala Ratjada 120–145 EUR.

How do I book a taxi outside the capital?
In Palma, apps like Free Now (mytaxi) and Pidetaxi work, plus the official city taxi (Mallorca-Taxi.org). Outside Palma — e.g. Pollença, Manacor, Cala d Or — each town has its own taxi rank with a fixed phone number (e.g. Pollença Taxi 971 533 798). Peak-season evening waits (July/August) can be long; pre-book 1–2 hours ahead. Intercity tariffs apply once the home municipality is left — typically 1.40–1.80 EUR per km.
How does freight between Mallorca and the mainland work?
Freight runs via the Trasmediterránea and Baleària ferries from Palma. Crossings: Palma–Barcelona 7–8 hours, Palma–Valencia 8–9 hours, Palma–Dénia 7.5 hours. A pallet (1 m³) by groupage costs 80–200 EUR by destination, a car on a trailer 250–400 EUR, a 40-ft container 1,200–2,500 EUR. Express air freight (Iberia Cargo, Vueling Cargo) from Madrid and Barcelona handles urgent shipments up to 30 kg within 24 hours, from 80 EUR.
Which courier services operate on Mallorca?
All major couriers operate on Mallorca (Correos, DHL, UPS, FedEx, GLS, MRW, SEUR). Inter-island delivery typically next working day, mainland 2–4 working days. Local couriers (Same Day Mallorca, Moto-Mensajería Palma) offer same-day delivery within Palma from 6 EUR, scooter up to 5 kg, often used for restaurant runs, notarial papers and pharmacy delivery. Special transport for furniture and large equipment goes via the Moving sub-category or specialised forwarders.
How do I find a wheelchair-accessible taxi?
Palma has around 15 registered wheelchair-accessible taxis (Eurotaxi), dispatched centrally across municipalities. Book on 971 728 081 or at the marked airport rank (blue accessibility icon). Outside Palma, pre-book 24–48 hours ahead — the local taxi rank typically has one or two adapted vehicles. Fares match the standard taxi tariff. For longer trips or scheduled medical transport, specialised VTC operators (often referred via the disability office) are available.
