Picking up your rental car at Palma Airport
About Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI)
Palma de Mallorca Airport (IATA: PMI) is the third busiest airport in Spain and the main gateway to Mallorca. The airport handles a very high volume of holiday flights from across Europe, particularly during summer. It operates from a large single terminal with multiple modules. Car rental desks are located in the arrivals hall, and vehicle collection takes place in the dedicated rental car building adjacent to the terminal. During July and August, the airport is exceptionally busy, so online check-in and pre-completing your rental paperwork is strongly recommended.
Getting on the road from Palma Airport
The airport is located approximately 8 km east of Palma city centre. From the rental car exit, the Ma-19 motorway connects you east toward Arenal, Llucmajor and the southern coast. The Ma-20 ring road provides access to all other parts of the island, including the north via the Ma-13 toward Alcudia and Pollenca, and the west toward Palma city and the Serra de Tramuntana. For the scenic mountain drive along the MA-10 toward Valldemossa and Soller, join the Ma-20 westbound and follow signs for Andratx and the northwest coast. Most resort areas on the island are reachable within 30 to 60 minutes from the airport.
Why pick up at the airport rather than in the city
For virtually all visitors to Mallorca, airport pickup is the most logical option. The island’s compact size and well-connected road network mean that collecting the car at the airport and driving directly to your hotel or villa is efficient and straightforward. Palma city centre is only a short drive from the airport, so there is no disadvantage to picking up at PMI even if your accommodation is in the city.
