Majorca or Mallorca which is regarded as the largest of the Balearic Islands of Spain is one of the most visited tourist places around the globe. Home to an illustrious history that boasted a Roman culture, Majorca is truly a place where the entire family will enjoy their holiday together. Whilst there are many transport options available such as bus and taxi, there are also more comfortable and convenient modes of travel such as by car hire.
There are those types of tourists who really do enjoy going right down to the grass root level of a country and taking the more rustic type of transport such as bus or even hired bicycles. While this has a charm of its own, it would be highly advisable that tourists take the opportunity to hire a car. The main reason being that cars offer a much more relaxed and refined experience than any other mode of transport.
The island of Majorca per se offers many attractions that require a visit. The best part is that most of these attractions are accessible by car, whether they are historical attractions such as Roman ruins, museums, theme parks or even zoos. Ideally, it would be convenient for travellers into Majorca to get a car hired from the hotel they stay in. Especially since the majority of the Hotels in Majorca offer this facility of providing a hire car at an extra fee.
Whilst the roads of this inimitable island would get some getting used to, tourists who do hire cars are advised to favour caution when driving, since most motorists do drive with their heart rather than their heads. But then what can one expect from a country where the heritage is as passionate as its people.
There is the usual question posed when it comes to hiring cars “Could I get a car to suit my budget?” In Majorca, the possibility of getting a car to suit any pocket is a reality, even Majorca Hotels provide different packages for there visitors . There are many cars on offer inclusive and exclusive of a variety of options. Although many are under the impression that comfort is probably meant to be sacrificed in order to lower the price, one would find that this is not a true fact.
Whatever the brand traveller’s desire, they are sure to be able to hire one. Many rent-a-car companies boast fleets of top end models such as Mercedes Benz, BMW, VW, Saab and even a Maserati or two. Hence no one would be stifled for choice. However, it is advisable to choose a car with lower mileage and frugal gas consumption. These requirements do of course come with a cost especially when considering many other factors such as insurance, AAA coverage and theft coverage.
The rule of thumb is to get a simple but reliable car that will get you and your family from point A to point B with the minimum amount of hassle. It would also be advisable to check the car records on offer at the rent-a-car company for previous damages or indeed previous accidents. Yet the most advisable option is to use the resources available at the hotel to choose a car ideal for your purpose, the reason being that even if it is a tad bit over your budget, there will be a higher probability of your hotel providing an honest and reliable choice.
Having said this, hiring that perfect mode of transport is not an issue that is worth considering since there is a free and widely available set of companies that are capable of providing a car for your requirements. The only choice that you would need to make is to note Majorca as a destination of choice for this year’s agenda.
