No Deposit. Personal Service.
Planning a stay in Palma? Arrange your car hire with our English-owned, family-run team. Collect at Palma Airport and explore the city and the rest of Mallorca at your own pace.
Mallorca Car Hire Company offers no-deposit car hire for visitors staying in Palma de Mallorca. Our airport collection service means no shuttle bus and no waiting at a rental counter. If you are already in Palma, contact us with your location so we can confirm collection arrangements before you book.
A credit card is not a booking requirement. Tell us your dates, preferred car category and any child seats or additional drivers you need. We will reply with your quote and confirm the arrangements directly. Contact us to book.
Arrange your Palma car hire without a security deposit.
Collect at Palma Airport with the arrangements confirmed by our team.
Request free baby or booster seats and an additional driver with your quote.
Third-party liability insurance is included in your car hire quote. This covers liability for damage to other vehicles and people; it should not be confused with fully comprehensive cover for your rental vehicle.
We do not offer fully comprehensive insurance, and we do not sell additional car hire excess insurance. Read the insurance information in our Hire a Car guide and check your rental agreement so you understand the cover and your responsibilities before confirming your booking. Contact our team if you need clarification.
A security deposit is not required, and a credit card is not a booking requirement. Cash, debit cards and credit cards are payment options. Confirm the payment arrangements for your collection with our team, particularly for an after-hours collection.
Review your agreed collection and return arrangements, rental dates, car category, named drivers, insurance information and fuel policy. Make sure any child seats or additional drivers you need are included in your request. Keep your booking confirmation and the team’s collection instructions available for your arrival.
Consider the number of passengers, luggage space, child seats and parking at your Palma accommodation. Request your preferred vehicle category and transmission when enquiring. Our vehicle groups and rental information explain the available categories; a particular make or model is not guaranteed.
For detailed answers on licences, driver eligibility, insurance exclusions, fuel, cancellation and returns, use our Help & FAQs or contact us about your booking.
If you are flying into Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI), arrange your car before you travel. Give us your flight details and we will confirm your collection instructions. Our airport service does not involve a shuttle bus.
Staying in Palma already? Send us your accommodation address and preferred collection time. Ask our team to confirm what is possible for your booking; do not assume that every hotel or city location is a collection point.
For the full airport arrangements, see our Palma Airport car rental page. For vehicle groups and rental details, visit Hire a Car.
A car is most useful when your Palma holiday includes days beyond the city. You can plan trips to the coast, visit inland towns and travel with luggage or children without fitting your day around bus connections.
For a day exploring the Old Town, the cathedral and Parc de la Mar, parking once and continuing on foot can be more practical than driving between sights. Check whether your accommodation has parking before choosing your car category.
A smaller car can make city parking easier. Families should consider luggage space as well as the number of seats, particularly when requesting child seats. If you prefer an automatic or need a larger vehicle, include this in your enquiry so the team can confirm availability. Vehicles are requested by category; a particular model is not guaranteed.
Palma de Mallorca combines a historic centre with waterfront walks, neighbourhood markets and views across the bay. Plan time in the city alongside your days exploring the island by car.
Start around La Seu Cathedral and Parc de la Mar, then explore the streets of the historic centre on foot. For a city sightseeing day, choose your parking first and leave the car while you walk between stops.
Santa Catalina is known for its market and lively food scene. Build a relaxed lunch or evening meal into your Palma plans with our Palma and Mallorca restaurant guide.
Bellver Castle offers panoramic views over Palma and its bay. If you want to combine sightseeing with time by the sea, use our guide to beaches in Palma and across Mallorca to choose your next stop. Check access and parking before setting off.
Before setting off, read our guide to driving in Mallorca for road rules, parking advice and practical driving tips.
Plan your parking before heading into central Palma. Choose a signed public car park, then walk to the historic centre. For an Old Town hotel, ask the accommodation for its recommended approach and unloading arrangements before following your navigation app.
Palma has restricted-access areas called ACIRE. These allow authorised vehicles and specific exemptions; hiring a car does not itself give you permission to enter. Hotel access may need to be arranged through your accommodation. Check signs and the official Palma access information before driving into a restricted street.
Palma also has a low-emission zone (ZBE), with access rules based on the vehicle’s environmental classification. ZBE eligibility does not itself authorise entry to an ACIRE street. Ask our team about your allocated vehicle and check the current official Palma ZBE guidance for your travel dates.
Choose a day trip to suit your plans, or use our Mallorca road-trip itinerary to plan a longer route from Palma. Check current road access and parking arrangements for each stop.
Combine your Palma stay with a day in Sóller or Port de Sóller. Plan parking at your destination and allow time to enjoy the town on foot. Our Sóller car hire guide covers this part of the island.
Head towards Calvià for a different side of Mallorca, combining village visits with time on the southwest coast. Read more about car hire for Calvià.
Use a longer day out to explore Alcúdia and the north of Mallorca. Start with our Alcúdia car rental page and plan your stops around your group.
If you want a car throughout your Palma holiday, airport collection lets you continue to your accommodation. If your first days are devoted to city sightseeing, plan those separately from your driving days. Contact our team with your dates and Palma address to confirm suitable collection arrangements.
No. Palma de Mallorca is the island’s capital, while Palmanova is a separate resort in the municipality of Calvià. Use the full name and address of your accommodation when enquiring so your quote and collection discussion relate to the right destination.
As a planning suggestion, allow two days for Palma and a separate day for an excursion. This gives you time for the Old Town, waterfront and another neighbourhood without squeezing an island drive into the same sightseeing day. Adjust the plan to your interests, arrival time and the pace of your group.
Keep a dedicated day for the mountains rather than adding a long drive after a full day in the city. Choose a manageable route towards Valldemossa or Sóller, allow time for stops and check the weather and road conditions before leaving. Our Mallorca road-trip itinerary can help you build a route.
Can Pere Antoni and Ciutat Jardí are options within Palma, so a beach visit does not always require an island-wide drive. For a separate day exploring farther along the coast, compare locations in our Palma and Mallorca beach guide. Choose a destination with suitable road access and authorised parking.
For a short stop focused on the cathedral, Old Town and waterfront, you may prefer to spend your available time in Palma. A drive beyond the city needs enough time for collection, the journey, parking and return before your ship’s deadline. Contact us with your terminal, arrival time and required return time before making plans; port collection is subject to confirmation.
Ask whether parking is on site or in a separate public car park, whether a space must be reserved, what it costs and whether there are height or size limits. Confirm the driving entrance as well as the hotel’s postal address. These details help you choose accommodation and a car category that work together.
Keep the route compact: for example, spend time around Parc de la Mar and the cathedral area, with breaks rather than several drives between city sights. Make Bellver Castle or a beach visit a separate part of the day if that suits your family. Check opening hours and allow time to return to your parked car.
Choose the Old Town if you want to combine a meal with historic-centre sightseeing, or explore Santa Catalina if its market and neighbourhood food scene are your priority. You can include both during a longer stay. Our Palma and Mallorca restaurant guide offers ideas; check opening days and reservations directly.
No. ZBE environmental eligibility and ACIRE street access are separate checks. A vehicle that can enter the low-emission zone is not automatically authorised for a restricted ACIRE street. Check the official Palma ZBE guidance and confirm any accommodation access arrangements before driving into the centre.
