Rent a Car Calas de Mallorca

Q: What documents do I need for calas de mallorca car hire?

You'll need a valid driver's license that has been held for at least one year, a credit card in the driver's name for the security deposit, and a passport or national ID. Non-EU travelers require an International Driving Permit alongside their original license. Minimum age is typically 21 or 25 depending on vehicle category, with young driver fees applied for those under 25.

Q: What are the fuel policies for rent a car calas de mallorca?

Most companies offer a full-to-full fuel policy where you receive the car with a full tank and must return it full to avoid extra charges, typically €1.50-2.50 per liter for missing fuel. Petrol stations are available in nearby Manacor (15 km away), Porto Cristo (10 km away), and along the Ma-4014 coastal road. Prepaid fuel options are available but rarely cost-effective.

Q: Can I drive to Porto Cristo and the Caves of Drach with my rental car?

Absolutely! Porto Cristo is just 10 km or about 15 minutes from Calas de Mallorca via the Ma-4014 road. The Cuevas del Drach have a large free parking area directly at the entrance. Your calas de mallorca car hire makes visiting the caves very convenient, allowing you to combine it with exploring Porto Cristo's harbor, beaches, and restaurants in a single morning or afternoon excursion.

Q: What types of vehicles are available for calas de mallorca car hire?

Agencies offer a comprehensive range including economy cars like Seat Ibiza and Fiat Panda, compact cars such as VW Golf and Seat Leon, mid-size sedans for added comfort, SUVs ideal for families or beach equipment, convertibles perfect for coastal drives, and people carriers or 7-seaters for larger groups. Automatic transmission vehicles and hybrid or electric options are widely available across all categories.

Q: What insurance should I consider for rent a car calas de mallorca?

Basic third-party liability insurance is legally required in Spain and typically included. Collision Damage Waiver with an excess of €600-€1,500 is essential for protecting against vehicle damage. Super CDW costing €10-20 per day eliminates most of this excess for greater peace of mind. Comprehensive insurance packages at €20-30 per day offer the best value, including theft protection, glass coverage, and tire protection. Check if your travel insurance already covers rental cars to avoid purchasing duplicate protection.
