Mallorca Getting Around
Getting Around by Rail
Getting Around by Road
Car hire: This is the most popular means of getting around the island and is available from Palma airport and in all the resorts. Major international and (often cheaper) local firms operate.
The quality of island roads is good, although in the mountains steep, narrow roads sometimes make it difficult for coaches and cars to pass other than at special points. The roads, particularly around Palma and the main resorts, can become very congested during peak season and parking is very difficult.
Regulations: Traffic drives on the right. Seatbelts are compulsory.
Scooter/ Motor bikes: These are generally available for hire but check that this does not invalidate your holiday insurance. Cycles may be useful for getting around the resorts.
Emergency breakdown service: Break down services are usually provided by individual car hire companies. If not try Real Automóvil Club de Espanya (RACE) (tel: 902 300 505; www.race.es).
Documentation: You will need your national driving licence and a credit card.
