IslandGuide — Ibiza
🇪🇸 Spain

Car rental in Ibiza

Ibiza is more than just nightlife — the island's stunning coves, pine forests, and traditional white villages in the north are best explored by car. Buses between Ibiza Town and the main beaches run regularly, but the hidden gems like Cala d'Hort or Es Cubells require your own wheels.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a car in Ibiza?
For the beaches and nature of the north, yes. The island's most beautiful coves — Cala d'en Serra, Cala Xarraca, Benirrax — are in the rural north and barely accessible by bus. If you're staying in Ibiza Town and not planning beach hopping, you may get by without one.
What car should I rent in Ibiza?
A small to mid-size car is ideal. Main roads are good, but some northern cove tracks are unpaved. A compact hatchback or small SUV handles most conditions comfortably.
When should I book a rental car in Ibiza?
Book at least 3 weeks ahead for July and August. Ibiza is one of Europe's most visited summer destinations and rental supply at the airport is limited. Shoulder season (May-June, September) offers better availability and much lower prices.
What insurance do I need in Ibiza?
CDW is recommended. SCDW is worth adding if you plan to access rough tracks to some of the more remote northern beaches. Basic CDW alone can leave you with a significant excess charge for minor damage.
