Car hire Ibiza

Car hire in Ibiza is reasonably priced and it’s one of the easiest and most practical ways to get around the island, allowing you the freedom to go where you please, when you please.

Car hirers must be over 21 years old and be in possession of a photo card driving license or an International Driving Permit.

It is essential that you check the outside and inside of the hire car for any damage or scratches before you leave the rental office. All damage should be noted by staff at the rental office so that you are not charged for it upon your return.

It is advisable to hire a car from one of the bigger, reputable car companies. Although local companies often offer better deals, problems and accidents are dealt with more quickly and more efficiently by the bigger agencies.

Booking your car before you go is a good idea, as many of the agencies book out during the busy period of July and August. Booking in advance usually entitles you to the best discounts.

Insurance is essential and you should obtain the best insurance your budget can afford.

Rental cars can usually be picked up and dropped off in any of the main towns or at the airport and must be returned with a full tank of petrol.

Drinking and driving is strictly prohibited in Ibiza and the legal alcohol limit amounts to about two glasses of wine.

Should you be unfortunate enough to get in an accident, the procedures are the same as most European countries; however, you should always ask for a translation of any documents that you are required to sign.
