If you\u2019re traveling to Majorca soon , you\u2019re probably organizing the whole planning step by step. If you got here is because, probably, you\u2019ve already rented a Holiday Villa with us. Great! Next step is to decide how are you going to move around the different paradise scenarios and, to do so, we wanted to give you some good reasons on why renting a car in Majorca<\/strong> seems like the best choice.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"why<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fast pick-up.<\/strong> If you\u2019re into renting a car in Majorca, you\u2019ll be able to pick the car up straight from the airport. Forget about picking the bus, train or a cab to go to your rent a car pick up office, just leave the plane or boat and get in the car!<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Mobility.<\/strong> One of the main advantages that has renting a car in Majorca is that you\u2019ll be able to move freely all over the island. There\u2019s no road impossible and also you\u2019ll be able to create your own route. When choosing the car you\u2019ll have to choose the one that adapts better to you, which leads us to point n.3.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Changes.<\/strong> When traveling we\u2019re seeking to escape our routine changing the stuff that surround us and that we\u2019re used to. The same happens is choose renting a car in Majorca. If you\u2019re a family you\u2019ll probably choose a minivan that you probably wouldn\u2019t be driving at home (bigger, more luxurious, with more features…). On the other hand, if you\u2019re a couple, choosing a convertible is an amazing idea to visit the island while the Mediterranean breeze touches you. <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Visit hidden places.<\/strong> Probably, if you choose the public transport you won\u2019t be able to access to so many places as you could if you were renting a car in Majorca. There are many places that you can\u2019t even get by car, but at least if you have your own car you\u2019ll be able to go walking through a small excursion and won\u2019t have to be waiting for the public transport. <\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Space for extras.<\/strong> Here\u2019s another important point that goes linked with n4. If you decide to go to the beach or to make an excursion, it\u2019d be interesting to have more space for the \u201cjust in case\u201d stuff. Extra towels, clothes for changing, accessories to go hiking, bottles of water to keep you hydrated, etc. Really important if you\u2019re traveling with kids!<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Safety.<\/strong> This point is one of the most importants since it can save us many worries during our time in the road. If you choose renting a car in Majorca you\u2019ll have the security to know that it\u2019s all checked and the needed changes have been made. On the other hand, if you choose to come with your own car, you should check it before coming to Majorca which, in the end, is a waste of time and money.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"why<\/p>\n

    Recommendations when renting a car in Majorca:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Checking the car when picking it up.<\/strong> Before leaving with the car, you should check on everything and make sure that everything is okay so you won\u2019t have any surprise when returning it. <\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Hydration.<\/strong> If we\u2019re traveling to Majorca, especially in summer, we must have in mind that the island is really wet. It\u2019s highly recommended to always carry many water with us. If it\u2019s possible, a frozen bottle and a cold one to make sure we always have cold water with us.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Suncream.<\/strong> If the trip is long, we should choose to carry with us cream with a high SPF so we don\u2019t burn during our trip. Try to avoid driving during the warmest hours (from 12pm to 17pm) and remember to always be protected against the sun. We understand you come to enjoy the mediterranean warm but remember to always do it with protection. <\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Parasols.<\/strong> Before arriving to the island check if the car you rented has parasols or if you have to carry them from home or buy them. This is a very delicate issue since, if you leave the car at the sun, it can get to temperatures up to 40 degrees if it\u2019s really hot. Having with us parasols will help us reduce the sun impact to enjoy a softer temperature when coming back to the car.<\/span><\/li>\n
    5. Map or GPS.<\/strong> It\u2019s true that the island itself is not very big, but it\u2019s true that there are many secondary roads in where you could get lost. It\u2019s important to carry a map or a GPS device so that we can guarantee all the time that we know where we\u2019re at. Check with the renting agency whether your car has this kind of devices or not. <\/span><\/li>\n
    6. Entertainment for the kinds.<\/strong> The longest roads can have an hour length so it\u2019s important to carry some entertaining stuff for the little ones. Always make sure that everyone enjoy the trip as much as we do!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
