Frequently asked questions

Do I need a car in Menorca?
A car is strongly recommended. Menorca is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve with over 200 km of coastline, and most of the best beaches lie at the end of unmade tracks. Public transport is minimal outside Mao and Ciutadella.
What car should I rent in Menorca?
A small to mid-size car is perfect. Menorca's roads are relaxed and traffic-free compared to Mallorca and Ibiza. A basic hatchback handles everything including the sandy tracks to beaches.
When should I book a rental car in Menorca?
Book 2–3 weeks ahead for July and August. Menorca is quieter than Mallorca but still busy in peak season, and the airport has a limited rental fleet. Shoulder season is very relaxed.
What insurance do I need in Menorca?
CDW is the standard recommendation. The tracks leading to many of Menorca's beaches are unsurfaced, so SCDW (zero-excess cover) is useful if you plan to explore off the main roads.
