Rent a Car in Downtown Mallorca

Playa de Palma is Mallorca's most famous beach corridor, a 5 km long sandy beach east of Palma airport with a vibrant nightlife. With three rental agencies on site and 5 km to PMI, it is easy to pick up and drop off your rental car in connection with your flight. From here you can reach Palma's old town in 15 minutes' drive.

The beach promenade along Playa de Palma is lined with hotels, restaurants and bars stretching from Ca'n Pastilla in the west to S'Arenal in the east. The Ma-19 motorway provides direct access to Palma's ring road and further out onto the island. The Maristany nature reserve lies 3 km to the south and offers a peaceful contrast to beach life.

Drive Ma-19 south towards Llucmajor and further to Cap Blanc, 30 km away, for dramatic cliff views without tourists. Visit Palma's Cathedral La Seu and Almudaina Palace early in the morning – 12 km away and 15 minutes' drive. Park in the parking garages by the beach promenade – street parking is limited and closely monitored.

How long does it take to drive from Playa de Palma to Palma center? It takes approximately 15 minutes via Ma-19 and Ma-20 ring road, a distance of approximately 10–12 km. Can I drop off the rental car at the airport if I picked it up at Playa de Palma?

It depends on the agency and the agreement. Check whether drop-off at PMI is included – often an extra charge applies for this. Which attractions can I easily reach by rental car from Playa de Palma?
