Car hire in
Menorca

Car rental in Menorca is a great way to immerse yourself in the pristine natural beauty of the area, including UNESCO Heritage sites, flourishing coastlines, secluded coves and so much more. Here are a few things to be aware of when driving:

• Navigating narrow country roads: Menorca's charm includes many narrow, winding roads, especially leading to coves or rural areas. Drive slowly on these, particularly around bends, and be prepared to yield to oncoming traffic. Smaller rental cars are often easier to drive on these routes.
• Understand beach parking limitations: Popular beaches, especially during peak summer, have limited parking that's often unpaved. Arriving early (before 10 am) is the best way to secure a spot. Some popular coves, like Cala Macarella, have restricted vehicle access in summer, so you'll have to use the shuttle bus.
• Fuel station prepayment: Many smaller fuel stations in Menorca, particularly outside the main towns, may require you to prepay for your fuel inside the station before you can pump it. Note your pump number before entering. Fuel tends to be cheaper in or around Mahón and Ciutadella.
• Awareness of parking zones: In towns like Mahón and Ciutadella, blue lines indicate paid parking zones requiring a ticket from a machine. Yellow lines mean no parking, while white lines typically indicate free parking. Green zones are usually for residents only.
