Car Hire Ibiza Airport

Car Hire

Ibiza Airport is the arrivals hub for 95 per cent of visitors to the two Balearic holiday islands of Ibiza and Formentera. Peak season is between May and October, and the airport is just four miles from buzzing Ibiza Town with its beaches and lively nightlife. Most of the airport’s flights are seasonal, and it’s a hub for Ryanair and the charter companies Thomson and Thomas Cook. Ground transportation for its five million passengers a year is by bus, coach or taxi, but car hire in Ibiza Airport is the best way to explore the island’s attractions.

Who to Book With
Avis, Europcar and Hertz offer car rental at the airport, as does National, operated by local company Atesa and offering special deals linked with the airport operators. If you’re arriving during the high summer season, booking your rental car well in advance is recommended as demand is high for specific makes and models.

Need to Know Essentials
You will need to display the following paperwork at vehicle collection:

- Your UK or EU photo driver’s licence
- The credit card used for the reservation
- A passport confirming your ID
- Confirmation of booking

Driving
Ibiza drives on the right, and Ibiza’s traffic police are stricter than you might expect as regards to speeding and other driving offences, with a tendency to target tourists. Ibiza’s newish fast roads between popular destinations give good touring, but careful driving is advised as locals often speed. Seatbelts are compulsory for all occupants, mobile phone usage while driving is illegal unless a hands-free kit is used, and headlamps must be used in all tunnels. Parking in Ibiza Town and other resorts is tricky due to a lack of spaces and the sheer number of vehicles on the road in the high season, with paid parking bays filling up fast. Ibiza’s dozen or so manned or automatic petrol stations take card payments.

Transport

Arriving passengers not being met by charter buses can pick up a hire car at the airport and be in Ibiza Town within 15 minutes or so, dependent on traffic conditions. Alternative means of onward transportation are by bus or taxi, with bus links to town and several resorts running every 20 minutes in the high season and every 30 minutes from November to April. The bus is by far the cheapest option, with taxis the most expensive choice.

Passengers are advised to only use metered taxis at the official rank opposite the terminal, avoiding those offering rides from other places on the complex. Radio taxis via Radio Taxi de San Jose can be called from the terminal and there are two modified taxis on hand for reduced-mobility passengers. Fares increase after 21:00 and waiting time is charged at a high rate.
