Car rental at Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI)

Palma de Mallorca Airport is a high-demand holiday rental location. Aena lists several companies in the arrivals hall, with vehicles collected from airport parking. During busy island travel periods, the best deal is often the one with the clearest pickup, deposit and return conditions—not simply the lowest daily rate.

Mallorca rental strategy: city stay or island tour?

If your holiday is mainly in Palma city, you may not need a car every day. If you plan to explore beaches, mountain villages or multiple resorts, a rental car can save substantial time and make early or late-day travel easier.

Mallorca demand is seasonal. Automatic cars, family vehicles and larger groups can sell out earlier than basic economy categories, so compare total conditions before the busiest travel weeks.

Four checks before you collect the keys

  1. 1
    Check where the car is parked

    The desk and the vehicle may be on different airport levels. Keep the parking instructions from your voucher.

  2. 2
    Ask before taking the car on a ferry

    Island rentals can have restrictions on ferries or inter-island travel. Never assume permission.

  3. 3
    Plan mountain driving conservatively

    Serra de Tramuntana roads can be narrow and winding. A smaller car may be easier than a large SUV.

  4. 4
    Allow time for the return walk

    Parking level, fuel stop and terminal access can add time before your flight.

Palma Airport FAQ

Questions travellers ask before booking

Which car rental companies have desks at Palma Airport?

Aena currently lists Avis-Budget, Europcar, Goldcar, Hertz, OK Mobility, Record Go and Sixt at the airport, with vehicle collection in parking areas.

Is an airport rental car useful in Mallorca?

Yes if your itinerary includes several beaches, villages or mountain routes. For a Palma-only city break, you may prefer to rent only for the days you plan to explore the island.

Can I take a Mallorca rental car on a ferry?

Only if your rental contract allows it. Cross-island or mainland ferry use can require permission or be prohibited, so check before booking.

Can I pay with a debit card at Palma Airport?

Some suppliers and tariffs allow debit cards, while others require a credit card for the security deposit. Confirm the exact collection rule.

Is Centauro at Palma Airport?

Centauro sells Palma Airport rentals and operates a nearby service. Follow the pickup instructions on your Centauro booking because the exact shuttle process is separate from Aena’s in-terminal desk list.
