Car hire Majorca – Cheap Palma de Mallorca airport car rental

If you’ve booked a holiday in a hotel in a nice resort, car hire could be an  unnecessary cost in addition to your holiday and spending money. Having your trip from Palma de Mallorca airport to where ever you are staying arraigned by the tour operator makes life much easier.

However, if you have rented an apartment for two weeks, and you have a lot of luggage, you are faced with a problem getting to your accommodation. Depending if it is peak season or not, it could actually be cheaper to rent a car instead of paying for airport transfers or taxis.
There are a lot of cheap car hire companies in Mallorca, but the key is not to rent a car directly from the airport even when its so convenient to do so, you should book your car rental from a company based outside the airport ground before you leave the UK.

Another good tip to protect your self is don’t use your bank debit card, choose one of your credit cards and deliberately ask the credit card company to lower the limit.

This will protect you from the rent a car company playing games with your card. They use lots of scams to screw extra money from the tourists, including parking ticket scams and taking petrol money from your card at very high rates if you agree to bring the car back full of petrol and you do not.

As soon as you have returned the car, it can be a wise idea to ring up your credit card company and report your card lost so the car rental company cannot take any more money from it. The legal system does not work very well in Spain so the chances of you being in trouble when you next visit Spanish soil is very slim.
