Car rental in Palma de Mallorca, Spain: what to know

Airport car rental in Palma de Mallorca

Spanish airports hand cars over at in-terminal desks or at off-airport offices reached by a shuttle from the arrivals hall. The voucher states which applies, and the shuttle option is usually what makes a cheaper rate cheaper.

For late arrivals, confirm the desk opening hours, whether the supplier tracks the flight number, any out-of-hours fee and how the car is returned when the office is closed.

Car rental conditions

Bring your passport or national ID and a valid driving licence. Licences issued in the EU and the UK are accepted directly; for other countries an International Driving Permit is frequently requested, so confirm it with the supplier before pickup.

The minimum age is usually 21, with at least one to two years of licence held. Drivers under 25 often pay a young-driver surcharge, and premium, SUV and minivan classes can set a higher threshold.

A deposit is standard and is normally blocked on the main driver's credit card. Some Spanish suppliers accept debit cards or offer zero-excess tariffs without a deposit, but that is an offer-level rule rather than a national one.

Check the fuel policy carefully — full-to-full is the fairest and is what most reputable suppliers use. Also read the excess and the exclusions: tyres, glass, the underbody and unsurfaced roads are commonly outside the cover.

Car brands and categories

The catalog covers the main rental categories:

  • Economy
  • Comfort
  • SUV
  • Minivan
  • Premium
  • Convertible
  • Electric
  • Hybrid

Spanish fleets are built mostly around SEAT, Renault, Peugeot, Citroën, Opel, Volkswagen, Ford, Fiat, Toyota, Dacia and similar models, with manual gearboxes still common — confirm the transmission on the offer card.

Compare the total price together with the deposit, insurance excess, mileage policy, fuel rule, accepted payment methods and the return conditions.

Airport pickup details

Have the passport, driving licence, booking voucher and the deposit card of the main driver ready before the counter, and photograph the bodywork, glass and wheels during the joint inspection.

On the way back allow time for refuelling near the airport, the return inspection and the walk from the drop-off level to the terminal.

Economy car rental

An economy car is the practical default in Spain: it fits the narrow streets of old towns, slots into short parking bays and keeps fuel spending low.

Check the boot against your luggage, and note that the smallest engines feel strained on the long motorway climbs inland.

Car rental essentials in Spain

Practical points on traffic, documents, payment, insurance, tolls, parking and vehicle return.

  • Gearbox: Manual is the default in Spain; automatics are fewer and sell out earlier in summer.
  • Airport desks: Handover happens in the terminal or at an off-airport office reached by shuttle.
  • Flight tracking: Give the flight number so the desk can hold the car if you land late.
  • Vehicle inspection: Photograph the body, glass and wheels before leaving the parking bay.
  • Out-of-hours handover: Night arrivals can carry a surcharge; confirm the procedure before travelling.
  • Security deposit: A refundable credit-card hold is standard unless the tariff says otherwise.
  • Driving licence: Bring the original valid licence accepted by the supplier for that class.
  • Passport or ID: A valid passport or national ID card is required at pickup.
  • Insurance excess: Check the excess amount and exactly what a full-cover package removes.
  • Accepted cards: Credit cards are the default; debit or cash depends on the individual supplier.
  • International Driving Permit: EU and UK licences need no permit; other issuers are frequently asked for one.
  • Toll roads: Autopistas (AP) are tolled while autovías (A) are free; a parallel free route usually exists.
  • Cover exclusions: Tyres, glass, mirrors, the underbody and unsurfaced roads are often excluded.
  • Fuel policy: Full-to-full is the fairest and most common; avoid pre-purchase tariffs where you can.

Useful information for renters

Parking and roads

Spain drives on the right. Island roads are well surfaced but wind a lot; journey times run longer than the distance suggests. Motorways are a mix of free autovías and tolled autopistas, so check which your route uses before setting off.

Car pickup

At the airport a car is usually handed over:
  • at a desk inside the terminal;
  • at an off-airport office reached by shuttle;
  • in the airport car park after a counter check-in;
  • at an agreed address after landing.

The handover point and any out-of-hours fee are set by the supplier.

Payment and currency

Spain uses the euro (EUR).

The booking currency may differ, while the deposit, fuel, parking, tolls and any fines are normally settled in euro under the supplier's terms.
