Car Rental Majorca - Car Hire Majorca
Cheap Car Rental
On the island there are many car rental / car hire companies and you will find that if you shop around, the prices do vary significantly.
Mallorca is well-known for not having sufficient cars for hire during the height of the season and recent problems in Japan has meant that spare parts for car fleets are more difficult to get hold of and more expensive. This has led to increases in car rental prices on the island during the 2011 season.
You should ensure that the vehicle you are driving has fully comprehensive insurance and the 12% IVA (tax) is included in the cost. Many hotels on the island recommend small local rental firms whereas the airport promotes major firms such as Hertz and Avis.
Whilst driving in Mallorca the speed limit is 110kph (70mph on motorways), main roads have a speed limit of 90kph (55mph), and on all other roads you should follow the designated signposts. It is against the law to beep your horn in urban areas unless you are indicating an accident or an emergency.
It is also compulsory to wear front and rear seat belts. Should you be stopped by the police for any traffic violation you may be issued with an on the spot fine, even if you are not resident. With the island being a tourist resort it is advisable not to drink and drive at all, as the police hand down severe prison sentences. You should carry with you at all times your license and travel documentation.
