Where can I rent a car in the Balearics with Zest Car Rental?

Car hire in Mallorca

Mallorca (Majorca to the English) is the most popular and the largest of the Balearic Islands. The city of Palma is filled with fabulous historical sites and architecture such as the Cathedral and Bellver Castle. Packed full of markets, wherever you stay on the island you’ll be sure to pick up a bargain or two, as well as a tan.

Collect your rental car from Palma Airport

Car hire in Menorca

More compact than its larger neighbour Mallorca, Menorca is perfect for those seeking a tranquil getaway amongst wonderful beaches and stunning panoramic views. The island is filled with history and the ancient burial site of Naveta des Tudons close to Ciutadella is well worth a visit. Take the time to visit the Talayots and Taules. Bursting with beaches and stunning scenery, this idyllic island is great for a relaxing break for both families and couples.

Collect your car rental from Mahon Airport

Explore amazing historic and ancient landmarks.

Car hire in Ibiza

Famous for its nightlife, this may seem like a nightmare destination for many but there is a lot more to Ibiza than clubbing. Should this be the key attraction for you however, Playa d'en Bossa or San Antonio will suit best. Otherwise, explore Dalt Vila in Ibiza Town, Sant Josep in the mountains, or Santa Eulalia and you’ll discover a completely different side to the island.

Pickup your hire car from Ibiza Airport

Formentera

Close to Ibiza, in order to get here you will need to fly into Ibiza Airport, then catch a ferry from the harbour in Ibiza Town. Surrounded by amazingly white sandy beaches across the island, there are plenty of opportunities to relax and soak up the sun. Both the bustling port of La Savina and the resort of Es Pujols are fabulous places to spend some time.
