Sample prices for a 7-day rental. Final price, deposit and terms are confirmed on Localrent.
Desks in one terminal
PMI has a single terminal, so every car hire desk is in the same arrivals hall.
No-deposit options
About a third of cars in Spain come with no deposit hold at pickup - look for the "No deposit" badge.
Full insurance
Zero-excess cover available on most cars - nothing taken from the deposit if something happens.
Free cancellation
Cancel free on most bookings, often up to 48 hours before pickup.
Most trips from PMI are short coastal runs with the odd climb into the Tramuntana. Pick by group size and luggage, not by looks.
Small & budget
Cheapest off the plane and easy to park in resort streets. Fine for two with cabin bags.
Automatic
In shorter supply at PMI, so reserve before you fly. Easier on the Tramuntana hairpins.
7-seater & van
Room for a family or two couples plus the holiday luggage on the run to the north coast.
Luxury & convertible
Convertibles are a common pick here. Deposits run higher on premium groups.
Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI), also called Son Sant Joan, is the main gateway to the whole island, and a hire car is what lets you use it. The drive from the airport to Soller takes about 40 minutes, and Palma to Pollenca around 50 minutes - distances a bus timetable handles badly.
PMI runs on a single passenger terminal, so there is no terminal to choose between at pickup. It is divided into four sections: Terminal A for non-Schengen flights such as the UK, B mainly for inter-island flights, C the largest serving mostly Schengen flights, and D a mix of both. Whichever module you land at, the rental desks are in the same arrivals hall, so follow the signs and you will reach them.
The car rental offices are next to the arrivals hall in the passenger terminal, on the ground floor. Once you have booked, you head to the car hire parking area in the General parking building, on levels 0 and 1, directly opposite the passenger terminal. Free parking is available for picking up and dropping off, but you must return the car to your company's assigned area - leave it in a public bay and normal parking charges may apply.
Some suppliers keep their cars off-site and run a free shuttle instead. The branch is off-site, with a courtesy shuttle bus from the Transport Meeting Point parking lot - on arrival you turn left in the arrivals hall, follow the Transport Meeting Point sign and exit through door 6. Your voucher tells you exactly which applies to your booking, so read it before you land.
Suppliers at PMI
The exact desk and pickup point for your booking is always on your rental voucher - check it before you fly.
Payment and deposit
When you book you pay only a small upfront amount - usually 15-20% of the hire cost. The rest is settled at the desk on pickup. The deposit in most cases is fully refundable, and about a third of cars in Spain are handed over with no deposit at all - those are marked in the results. If you only have a debit card, pick a no-deposit rate or a cash-deposit option: nothing gets frozen on your card.
Have your voucher, passport, driving licence and the booking card ready at the desk to keep the queue short after a long flight. Drivers must be 21 to rent in Spain, and those under 25 may pay a young-driver fee. Many desks at PMI open all day, but hours vary by supplier, so if you land late check the closing time before you book - some charge an out-of-hours fee for a pickup outside business hours. Inspect the car for existing scratches and photograph them, including the fuel gauge, before you drive off.
The airport sits right on the Levante motorway, so you are moving within minutes - PMI is just 8 km from the Palma city centre, about a 20-minute drive. For the north and east of the island you can join the motorway straight from the airport and skip Palma altogether.
When you return, fuel up before the airport as on-site prices are higher, then follow the "car hire return" or "rental car return" signs back to your supplier's area in the same car park. If you return outside business hours, most suppliers provide a key drop box for the keys. Photograph the car and the fuel gauge again on an after-hours return so you have proof of its condition.
Low-emission zone - no issue for rentals
Palma is rolling out a low-emission zone (ZBE) in the city, with camera enforcement and fines for non-compliant cars. A car hired at PMI is not affected: cars rented in Spain already carry the DGT environmental sticker the zone requires, so a rental can drive into Palma with no extra paperwork. The fines target older or foreign-plated private cars, not yours. Check the windscreen for the sticker at pickup and photograph it.
PMI has one passenger terminal with four boarding modules (A to D), so there is no terminal to choose between. The rental desks are all in the arrivals hall on the ground floor, with cars in the General parking building opposite, on levels 0 and 1.
Some suppliers shuttle you to an off-site office from the Transport Meeting Point at gate 6. Your voucher states the exact location.
Yes. Cars rented in Spain already carry the DGT environmental sticker the zone requires, so you can drive into Palma with no extra registration.
The fines only apply to older or foreign-plated private cars, not your hire car. Check the windscreen sticker at pickup and photograph it.
Many desks open all day, but hours vary by supplier and some charge an out-of-hours fee.
If your flight lands late, check the closing time on your chosen company before booking so your pickup is not missed.
About 20 minutes, as the city centre is around 8 km away on the Levante motorway.
For the north or east of the island you can join the motorway straight from the airport and bypass Palma altogether.
A credit card is not always required - it is needed to hold the security deposit. At pickup the supplier freezes the deposit amount on the card: the money is not charged and is released when you return the car undamaged.
To avoid a hold, choose a full cover or no-deposit rate - then a debit card is usually fine and there is no pressure to buy extra cover at the desk.
The deposit is an amount the rental company holds as a guarantee for the car. Road fines or damage can be deducted from it.
If the car comes back without problems, the deposit is released in full. It is a temporary hold on your card, not a charge.
It depends on the car class and the supplier - you can see the exact amount on each car's card.
You can set a maximum deposit in the filter and the catalogue shows only matching offers. The lower you set it, the fewer cars remain.
Yes. To see cars with no deposit, use the «No deposit» filter option. There are also cars with a small deposit or cash payment.
Note that "no deposit" means no hold at pickup, not no booking payment - a small upfront amount is still taken when you book. If nothing suits, contact our support team.
The deposit is the amount frozen on your card at pickup and released when you return the car undamaged.
The excess is the part of any damage you pay yourself even with insurance - anything above it is covered by the insurer.
In practice, damage is taken from the deposit up to the excess, so the deposit is often set to match it. A full, zero-excess policy removes both: you do not pay for damage and the hold is usually waived.
Cover comes in levels:
You see the available rates on each car's card when booking.
If you would rather not depend on the deposit and excess, choose the full rate.
Yes, some cars can be paid in cash - use the «Cash» filter option.
You pay a small upfront amount by debit or credit card when booking (usually 15-20% of the total), and the rest in cash at pickup in the terminal.
Yes, paying for the car with cryptocurrency is possible - contact our support team to arrange it.
Yes. In the search, set a pick-up and a drop-off point - for example collect at PMI and return in Alcudia, Cala d'Or or central Palma.
By default the car is returned to the same place you collected it.
Most are manual, as across the Balearics. Automatics are in shorter supply and cost more, so book one well ahead if you need it. The same applies to 7-seaters in summer.
You need a passport, a driving licence and the rental voucher - the voucher can be shown on your phone or tablet.
It states the final price with your chosen options and insurance, so the amount due at the desk will not change.
To hire through our rental companies you need at least 2 years of driving experience.
