Alternative transport
If you don’t want to book a hire car, there are alternative options available. You can catch a bus from Palma de Mallorca airport to Magaluf and Palma Nova from the taxi ranks located outside the arrivals terminal building. Alternatively if there are more than four of you travelling together, you may find it cheaper and more comfortable to book an airport transfer before you fly. Airport transfer mini-busses carry between five and twelve passengers and are usually air-conditioned. They also usually offer lap and shoulder belts to hold child seats in place, and if booked in advance through a reputable company, they’ll check to make sure your transfer mini-bus is waiting for you when you arrive even if there are flight delays. These mini-busses are also very useful if you have a lot of luggage – for example if you are golfing for example.
