Why rent a car in the Balearic Islands?
Renting a car in the Balearic Islands means being able to experience them fully. Palma, the biggest city in the Balearics, is a fascinating city to delve into. Its old town is a treasure trove of historical sites, mixed in with beautiful boutiques and trendy eateries. The rest of Mallorca is stunning and varied too, with mountainous peaks meeting tranquil coves, and authentic inland villages leading the way to rustic walking paths.
The smaller islands of Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera are full of pleasant surprises for those who dare to get out and explore them also. The coastlines are dotted with some of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean, and their bucolic interiors host interesting museums, markets, caves, and remnants of Balearic history.
Top ways to enter Balearic Islands
- Palma de Mallorca Airport: By far the largest in the Balearic Islands, Palma Airport is the third busiest in the whole of Spain.
- Ibiza Airport: The main airport of Ibiza island is served by more than 30 airlines.
- Menorca Airport: Like the other two Balearic airports, Menorca is mainly active during summer, but does have regular service to and from mainland Spain all year.
- Ports. All of the Balearic Islands have ferry connections to the other islands and mainland Spain. Menorca and Mallorca also have ferry connections to mainland France.
Top cities and places to visit
- Mallorca. One of the most popular holiday destinations in Europe, Mallorca is a beach heaven, but also so much more than that. The largest Balearic island is home to its busy capital, Palma, as well as a surprisingly stunning mountain scenery, protected nature areas, historical sites that date back for millennia, and several fascinating museums dedicated to its famous former inhabitants. There are a number of all-inclusive resorts, but if you get a rental car, it’s possible to drive around and look for relatively less busy coastal stretches, especially along its northern coast.
- Ibiza. One of the party capitals of the planet, Ibiza frequently attracts not just hundreds of thousands of visitors, but also some of the best house and techno DJs on the planet. While now best known for its nightlife, the island gained prominence in the first place thanks to its natural beauty, a lot of which survives to this day.
- Menorca. The northernmost and easternmost of the three main Balearic Islands, Menorca embodies a significant change of pace from both Ibiza and Mallorca. To say it is quiet would be a stretch, but the island is significantly more relaxed and family-friendly than the other two. Natural highlights of Menorca include not just its beaches, but also several stunning inland areas.
Most popular rental car
The most popular rental car in the Balearic Islands is the Ford Fiesta, but travelers also tend to pick the Fiat Panda and the Nissan Qashqai.
Most popular types of rental car
The most popular rental car type in the Balearic Islands is an economy, followed by mini and compact.
Top driving routes
-
Palma - Magaluf (18 km / 11 mi) The distance between the two famous resort towns can be done in less than half an hour, meaning that you can even conveniently stay in one while spending most of your time in the other if you’d wish to do so.
-
Palma - Alcudia (58 km / 36 mi) Located on the northern coast of the island, the beautiful town of Alcudia is just under an hour’s drive away from Palma and has a daily ferry service to nearby Menorca.
-
Mahon - Ciutadella (46 km / 28.5 mi). Driving between the current and the ex-capital cities of Menorca is easily done in around 45 minutes and allows you to take in the two largest cities on the island — each with its own unique charm.
-
Ibiza - Portinatx (30 km / 18.6 mi). Experience two very different sides to Ibiza with this drive from the party capital, to the quiet northern coast, which can be completed in just over half an hour. In Portinatx, you can settle in at a seaside bar or hit the hiking trails to discover old watchtowers, lighthouses, and hidden coves.

We stayed in a villa in Pollensa and drove out to Soller, Valldemossa and found the Serra de Tramuntana hills too full of cyclists! The cyclists rule the roads! We enjoyed walking to Pollensa and supermarkets nearby but drove to Formentor beach (expensive car parking but nicer beach and also Cala Sant Vicenc which cost nothing to park. Drach caves and Porto Cristo was a good trip too.
