Why rent a car in Mallorca?
Mallorca is a great place to rent a car. Having the freedom of your own wheels will let you not only explore the main city, Palma, but also travel around the rest of the island and create your own adventure as you go.

Top ways to enter Mallorca
- Palma Airport: Third busiest in Spain and number one in the Balearic Islands, Palma Airport host flights to and from countless destinations in Europe and is especially active during summers.
- By sea: It’s also possible to come to Mallorca by ferry and then pick up a ride once you’ve arrived. You can get a rental car at Calvia Adriano Port or the town of Capdepera.

Ideas for day trips

- S'Albufera National Park. The large salt marsh near the town of Alcudia is one of the most notable nature preserves in the Balearic Islands. There are more than ten hiking trails in the park -— if you follow them, you’ll be very likely to spot some of the wading bird species that live there. Located on the Bay of Alcudia, the national park is in the northeast of the island and can be reached from Palma in about 50 minutes.
- Serra de Tramuntana. The mountain range along the northwestern coast of the island has many trails and lakes to explore. The highest accessible peak, Puig de Massanella, stands at 1,364 m (4,475 ft) and can be quite a challenge, but the views from the top are worth the effort. There are also some really nice mountain vistas for those who prefer to drive.

Further destinations
- Formentera, Ibiza, and Menorca. While not all rental car providers will let you pick up a rental car in Mallorca and then take it to one of the other Balearic Islands, you can take a ferry to each one of them, pick up a rental car there, and find out that, albeit smaller, they are just fascinating to explore.
- Barcelona: Easily reached by ferry from Mallorca, Barcelona is a world-class destination in terms of culture, entertainment, and cuisine. Home to the Basilica of Sagrada Familia and other Antoni Gaudí architecture, the equally iconic FC Barcelona, historical quarters, and some of the best nightlife in Europe, it never runs out of ways to entertain you. Many rental car companies permit one-way rentals to Barcelona, but you should also find out if the ferry company allows taking the vehicle along (alternatively, you can drop off one car in Mallorca and pick up another one after arriving in Barcelona).
- Catalonia. As awesome as Barcelona is, the region of Catalonia is so much more than just its largest city. Home to some of Europe’s most beautiful beaches including the wild Costa Brava region, ancient cities like Tarragona, beautiful countryside, and the impressive Catalan Pyrenees, the region is a jewel to explore.
- Valencian Community. Another destination that can be reached by ferry, the Valencian region is best known for its capital after which it is named. The third-largest city in Spain, it is home to the impressive City of Arts and Sciences, many festivals, and historic sites.
