Various companies provide rental cars on Menorca. Here are our tried and tested.

Recommended local Spanish car rental company in Menorca, Ibiza and Mallorca. Shuttle from airport.

The best local car rental, a Spanish firm that celebrated 50 years in 2020, is Hiper Rent-A-Car. They rarely have a queue and send a shuttle to pick customers up from the pick-up place in front of the airport to their office. Their loyalty discount is generous and is applied when booking through their website.

Airport Rentals are a good price comparison site.  Tried, tested and helpful, they don’t provide cover and usually you pay on pick-up. This is an older site than Zest.

Airport rentals stepped in when Goldcar tried to charge for pre-existing damage and pre-paid petrol resulting in a refund. However information such as being able to pay for fast stream pick up from OK! Car Rental was not provided in advance. This simply secures the car for a small deposit and provides a good choice of the best deals.

It is also worth getting an insurance policy in the UK to reduce your excess in the event of a claim. Rental companies work on the basis of charging an excess so it is extra piece of mind. Reducemyexcess.co.uk provides this type of cover.

Car Hire Firms

Owners Cars have an efficient queuing system. Take your number as soon as you arrive. The shuttles run until 10pm then pick-ups after than cost an extra 35 Euros. Honest and professional.

OK Car Rental. Great cars: new and with sat nav included. Sometimes short staffed on return. Best booked on price comparison sites above.

Well known for their prices for basic cars. Good for short stay and can be hired at airport on arrival.

Used in UK, not Menorca, and they are good for bigger, commercial vehicles including vans. Also do car rental from Menorca airport.

Hiper celebrate 50 years in 2019 and they operate a shuttle from Menorca airport. The queues were certainly the shortest and pick up and drop off were very quick and easy to use. Car was not “or similar”.

Avoid Rhodium or Goldcar. They had car marked with dents then sneakily sent email “Dear Customer, here is something that may be of interest” with a 640 Euro bill attached to remove dents and repay petrol. After a long fight, with help from Airport Rentals and Lloyds Bank they repaid the money taken from credit card but no compensation for the hassle. They apologised. Best avoided and they have very bad press. Bought by French company Europcar since but still complaints are on the rise according to Which?
