Ibiza is one of Spain’s most popular summer destinations. Most visitors book their hire car online before flying out — prices are lower and availability is far better than at the rental desk. Public transport on the island is limited, so having your own car makes a real difference.
Picking up your car
The most convenient airport is Ibiza (IBZ), about 7 km away. Picking up and returning at the same airport is usually cheapest.
