Hiring a car in Alcudia, Majorca, Spain, or at the Palma Airport is quite easy because sites such as Argus Car Hire, Auto Europe, and others provide you with a large choice of vehicles anywhere from those with budget economy prices all the way to luxury models and those that can accommodate handicapped individuals. If you book online on a secure site, you will most likely also receive a special online discount.
Car rental companies include such familiar names as Advantage Rent-a-Car, Budget Car Rental, Hertz Car Rental, National Rent-a-Car, Alamo Car Hire, and others.
If you rent your own car, you can leisurely visit the many diversified sites and attractions that Majorca has to offer and do it at your own pace without the rush of going on a tour with its set places and hours that may not be what you and your family would prefer to do. The freedom and flexibility of having your own vehicle is well worth the small cost. You also will not have to struggle with the public transportation that can be very crowded.
You can rent at various locations throughout the island such as the Alcudia Town Centre, Ferry Ports, Train Stations, and many other places. You can even pick up the car at one location and return it at another unless you prefer to rent it at, and return it to, the airport to make those parts of your trip easy to accomplish as well as driving to see what Majorca has to offer.
You can see everything from two majestic mountain ranges to the warm beautiful Mediterranean beaches with hidden coves that stretch for miles. Coves dels Hams has an underground lake where you can take a boat tour to see unusual rock formations, and Coves del Drac has a nearby aquarium. In the capital city of Palma, there is much in the way of history, Gothic architecture, and culture to enjoy and learn from. Artifacts have been discovered on Majorca that go back as far as 6000 BC! There are Roman and other ancient ruins to explore, Beliver Castle, the La Seu Roman Catholic Cathedral, Arab baths, olive groves, hilltop villages, and more. The Museu de Mallorca is a 15th-century palace that was converted into a museum and has very interesting archaeological relics. A former monastery, Valldemoossa, has Chopin remnants, large rooms, and beautiful gardens. There are also 12 golf courses on the island.
