Car hire at Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI)
Palma Airport is one of the busiest in Spain, and in summer it moves enormous numbers of holidaymakers through a single terminal. That makes a pre-booked rental car the difference between walking straight to a waiting vehicle and queuing at a counter while your holiday clock ticks. Picking up at PMI also means you skip the transfer coach and drive directly to your resort, villa or hotel.
All the cars on this page are available for pickup at the airport rental centre. Reserve before you fly, bring your voucher, licence and the card in the lead driver's name, and you'll be on the Ma-19 motorway towards Palma or the Ma-19 south to Playa de Palma within minutes of landing.
Collecting your car at PMI, step by step
-
1
Follow the car-hire signs
From the arrivals hall, follow signage for 'Rental Cars' to the dedicated rental centre. It's a short indoor walk or a brief shuttle depending on your supplier.
-
2
Bring the right documents
You'll need your driving licence, passport or ID, the booking voucher, and a payment card in the main driver's name for the deposit (or a no-deposit booking).
-
3
Inspect and photograph
Walk around the car before leaving, photograph any existing marks, and check the fuel level matches the agreement so there are no surprises on return.
-
4
Drive out
Exit towards the Ma-19. Palma city centre is roughly 15 minutes; Playa de Palma is even closer; the Tramuntana mountains around 40 minutes.
Airport pickup vs city pickup
Both work well for Palma — the right choice depends on where you're staying and when you land.
| Factor | Palma Airport (PMI) | Palma city / downtown |
|---|---|---|
| Convenience on arrival | Collect on landing, no transfer | Need a taxi/bus to the depot first |
| Best if you're staying | Outside the city / touring the island | In central Palma for a few days |
| Late-night arrivals | Staffed for most flight arrivals | Limited out-of-hours desks |
| Returning the car | Drop before your flight, walk to gate | Return in town, transfer to airport |
When PMI is busiest
Relative passenger demand through the year. Book earlier for July–September, when the best-value cars sell out first.
Palma Airport car hire FAQs
How long does pickup take at PMI in summer?
With a pre-paid, pre-booked car and a no-deposit option, it can be just a few minutes. Counter queues build during peak afternoon arrivals, so completing details online in advance speeds things up significantly.
Can I return the car outside opening hours?
Many suppliers offer a key-drop for early or late flights. Confirm the exact return process and fuel policy on your voucher before you travel.
Is there a fuel station near the airport for returns?
Yes — there are stations close to the PMI rental return area, so you can refuel just before drop-off if your agreement is full-to-full.
Will my hotel let me park the rental car?
Most resorts and villas have parking, but central Palma hotels may charge for it. Check with your accommodation and budget for paid city parking if you're staying downtown.
