Under 25 car hire in Palma de Mallorca. Young-driver age limits, surcharges and requirements explained, with the best-value cars for 21 to 24 year olds.
Same as pickup
Younger drivers are very welcome on Mallorca's roads — but most suppliers apply a 'young driver' surcharge to anyone under 25, and a minimum age that's usually 21 (occasionally 19 for smaller cars). It's a per-day fee that reflects insurers' statistics, not a judgement on your driving. The good news is that it's predictable, and once you know the rules you can budget for it and still get a great deal.
This page explains the age bands, what you'll need to bring, and how to keep the young-driver cost down. Enter your dates above to see which cars are available to under-25 drivers for your trip.

Young-driver fees vary a lot between companies. The search above surfaces the total for your age, so you can pick the cheapest fairly.
Economy and compact classes attract the lowest young-driver surcharges and the broadest age eligibility.
Because the fee is daily, one continuous rental is often cheaper than splitting your trip across two bookings.
Make sure you've held a full licence for the minimum period the supplier requires, and bring it physically to the desk.
Yes, with most suppliers, subject to a young-driver surcharge and having held your licence for the required period. Choose an economy or compact car for the widest availability.
The deposit is usually the same as for any driver, but the daily young-driver fee is added on top. No-deposit options can still apply to under-25s with some suppliers.
No — the surcharge applies to each driver under 25 who is registered on the agreement. Adding an older driver doesn't waive it, though it can share the long island drives.
Compare the all-in price including any young-driver fee, and find the best value for your age and dates.
