HERTZ Car Rental at Mallorca Airport

Mallorca Airport is situated conveniently close to Palma de Mallorca, capital city of the Balearic island archipelago. The 8 km/5 mile trip takes only 15 minutes by taxi or by joining one of the two bus services available from just outside the terminal buildings.

Car hire, however, provides more privacy and flexibility during a stay in Spain. The Palma-Santanyi motorway links Palma with the airport and an extensive road network allows easy access to the resorts, villages and towns on the island. Parking at Mallorca Airport is located just opposite the terminal buildings and some 5,700 spaces are available for long and short-term parking.

Several major car rental companies are conveniently situated in the arrivals hall of the terminals and on the ground floor of the main car parking building, where rented cars need to be dropped off after the rental period is over.

One of these well-known providers is Hertz Mallorca Airport and they can be contacted directly for enquiries or bookings by telephone, fax or email as well as via their website:

Hertz Mallorca Airport, tel +34 971 789 670 / 902 402 405 (bookings), fax +34 971 789 671

Before you leave the airport in your Hertz Mallorca Airport hired car, please ensure you have all your luggage with you and you should ask at the car hire service desk, where your hired vehicles needs to be dropped off at the end of the rental contract. Any delay in returning your car beyond the one hour's grace period at the end of your rental contract will attract surcharges of one full day's rental, in case you cannot find your way around the airport compound and the various parking lots.

Hertz car hire Mallorca can offer a wide range of vehicles for your stay in Spain. Whether for leisure or business travel, for groups of friends travelling together or large families needing lots of space for luggage, whether for courting couples or honeymooners, there will be a suitable vehicle in their fleet for every taste, budget and requirement.

In the Economy category there are cars like the Fiat Panda or the Ford Fiesta, the Lancia Ypsilon 8V and the Fiat Grande Punto for example. In the popular Compact category you can choose from the Ford Focus Manual or the Ford Focus SW with manual transmission, or the Ford Mondeo Ghia SW with automatic transmission or Ford Mondeo Station Wagon as well as driving perhaps the Ford Focus C-Max in the Intermediate category.

There are also a number of mini vans and people carriers available and business travelers needing something with a little more style and finesse should look in the full-sized or premium categories, where vehicles like the Mercedes or BMW series can be found. Mini vans can offer space for up to 9 passengers with plenty of room for luggage, too, while SUV's or 4 x 4s are excellent for more adventurous driving in Mallorca's mountain ranges with difficult terrain. The Mini and Economy categories are perfect for small families or couples and these cars are very economical to run, particularly when mainly used for city trips or shopping expeditions.

Rates quoted online by Hertz car hire Mallorca Airport's website include taxes, that is local and airport taxes, collision damage waiver, location service charges and a vehicle licensing fee as well as covering road tax. Customers wishing to reserve a vehicle must have a valid driving licence and a valid credit card issued in their name.

Visitors to Spain who own a second home and are spending much more time than just a short holiday in Spain, will perhaps be interested in Hertz Mallorca Airport's special offers. Renting a vehicle for 28 days or longer translates into an even better daily rental rate with 2,000 free miles per month being included in the deal.

The offer comes complete with 24 hour, 7 days per week breakdown assistance, free valeting service and free membership to the Hertz #1 Club Gold. Car hire exceeding 28 days can also earn a customer up to 5,000 Nectar points.

Hertz Mallorca Airport provides visitors with the comfort and flexibility to explore the many wonderful attractions and historic monuments at leisure without having to worry about bus time tables or rushing to catch a metro train. Sightseeing can be exhausting, particularly during the hot summer months.

Guided tours through the eerie Drach caves or exploration of the various castles, historic monuments and churches can be tiring for feet and mind. How much more comfortable to have a hired car, where one can stop off at a vantage point, enjoy the views and then have a short snooze before driving off to the next adventure!

During the summer car rental companies at Mallorca Airport see their busiest time of the year. It is best to book a car well in advance of arrival, at the very least 48 hours before the actual flight, to avoid disappointment on the day. Any additional equipment like child safety seats, luggage racks or satellite navigation systems should be reserved at the time of booking the car, as these items are subject to availability.

It is advisable to ask what the official opening hours are for the company that will supply your hired vehicle. Not every car rental office has drop off boxes for car keys and you may wish to return you vehicle office hours.
