The City of Palma de Mallorca is the major port of Mallorca. It is popular for its classy holidays and for bird watching too! Every year there are about 20 million people that Palma de Mallorca Airport greets. When you are already out of the Son Sant Jean Airport which can be found 8 kilometers west of Palma de Mallorca, you can now easily drive off using your rented car and go off to your exotic holiday destinations such as Alcudia Cala d'or, C'an Picafort, Palma Nova, Cala Millor Porto Colom, Magalluf and Sa Coma.
The best way to have a great stay in Mallorca is to hire a car. This is the most efficient way to get out of the airport and go to your favorite exotic holiday destination. Yet, when hiring a car in Mallorca, there are some points that you need to consider. To help you figure that out, I have here a list just for you in case you would want to spend your vacation to this beautiful place.
Booking
You must always book in advance as there are a lot of people who visit the place. You can always do this by going into their website and book using the automated online quote by car hire companies. Also, booking in advance can make you certain that a car is really waiting for you at the airport upon your arrival at Mallorca. The car market in Mallorca is highly competitive that is why when you hire a car here, you can always get some excellent deals. Yet, to be sure that you get the best deals in town, you mus
t always book first. What good is that when you car hire, you can actually choose among the various categories such as family cars, MPV's, automatic cars, etc. You have a wide variety to choose from and could have one according to your convenience and liking.
Payment
It is always advisable that you bring with you your credit card. This is because sometimes, it is not possible that you pay in cash. So, it is safer to bring along your cards.
Insurance
The insurance, particularly the Collision-damage wavers may vary among companies. Yet, this may seem not to be necessary but they can be worthwhile as compared with the potential loss if ever an accident happens.
Age
To be able to car hire in Mallorca, you must be at least 21 years of age and should have a full driver's license for 1-3 years (this may vary with the car hire company you choose) and your own passport. Once you already have a hired car, you can now head off to your favorite holiday destination by going to the main autovia that actually runs from Palma City to Santanyi.
However, if you do not wish to car hire, you can always avail other modes of transportation. You can always avail the airport transfers which include a taxi hire from the outside arrivals lounge of the airport to the hotel you are planning to stay. There are also buses you can ride from the outside arrivals into the Palma starting at early morning. Or you might as well go for the airport shuttle transfers if none of those can accommodate your liking.
