Palma de Mallorca Airport handles over 21 million passengers per year, and is one of the busiest airports in Europe during the summer. It is found on the largest of the Balearic Islands, just 8 km, or 5 miles from Palma, the capital city of Mallorca. The airport is also well known as Son Sant Joan Airport, and has the official airport code of PMI. Palma de Mallorca Airport is a major gateway for tourists visiting the island, and is a base for airline companies such as Air Berlin and Air Europa. The majority of passengers fly between Mallorca and Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom. Passengers in need of a vehicle can rent a car from Auriga Crown Car Hire. Auriga Crown is a company well known in Spain for providing quality car hire services for business clients and holidaymakers.
Auriga Crown Mallorca Airport Car Hire has rental desks within the terminal’s arrival area at Palma de Mallorca Airport, and they are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Customers can also arrange their vehicle online, from Auriga Crown’s website at www.aurigacrown.com. All the vehicle categories available at this rental location are displayed on the website, as well as further information regarding the services of the company. Booking online is the most convenient way to secure your ideal vehicle, and it is recommended to make an advanced reservation, especially during the busier summer months of Mallorca, or if you require a special type or size of vehicle. From most car hire companies, it is also possible to reserve additional items of equipment for your car, such as child seats or a satellite navigation system. These items should be booked as early as possible, as they are subject to availability.
The company of Auriga Crown Car Hire was established in 2006, and actually came about from the merge of two leading car rental companies in Spain. These two companies were Crown Car Hire and Auriga Rent a Car. The combination of these two companies provides Auriga Crown Car Hire with over forty years of experience in the rent a car sector, and with a fleet of over 18,000 vehicles. All vehicles are only of the latest model, not older than six months. Customers therefore receive a car that is in excellent condition, and with low mileage. Auriga Crown has a network of thirty rental offices at various downtown and airport locations in Spain, and aims to provide professional and reliable service for all their customers.
Primary renters, at Auriga Crown’s Palma de Mallorca Airport car rental location, are required to be at least 21 years of age, and should have a valid drivers license. Younger drivers, under the age of 25, will pay a young drivers fee, which is a small daily amount applicable to each ‘underage’ driver registered on the rental agreement. Certain car groups may also not be chosen by younger drivers. In terms of the drivers license, it is required to have been held by the renter in his/her country of residence for at least a year prior to the rental date. An International Driving Permit may also be required by foreign renters, and is always recommended to have when driving in a different country. Even though your car hire company may not request it, Spanish Law requires it.
A major credit card is needed for payment of the car hire period, such as American Express, Diners Club, Eurocard, MasterCard and Visa. In your quote from Auriga Crown, unlimited mileage is included, as well as 24 hour emergency roadside assistance, airport taxes and full insurance. Rental quotes do not include the cost of petrol, additional drivers, one-way rentals, any extra equipment and other costs, such as traffic fines, tow trucks or lost or broken keys. The primary renter will always pay for a full tank of fuel, but this cost is refundable should the car be returned full for rentals of up to three days. In the case of longer rentals, customers will need to return the car as empty as possible, as no refunds for petrol are made. Fuel is always paid for at the beginning of the rental period. Customers should always ensure that they know which type of fuel to use for their rented car, as it could be petrol or diesel. Customers may be liable for engine cleaning costs if the wrong type is added.
Auriga Crown’s large fleet of vehicles includes smaller cars such as the Ford-Ka, Kia Picanto and Peugeot 207 in the Economy category. These vehicles have very good rental rates and are considered to be very light on fuel as well. They generally seat up to four people, and have three or five doors. Additional features may include air conditioning and power steering. Compact vehicles are also very popular options, and may be similar to the Ford Fusion, Peugeot 308, Ford Mondeo and Fiat Doblò. These vehicles are slightly larger, and seat up to five passengers. There is a family vehicle category available from Auriga Crown, which contains vehicles seating between five and seven passengers. They also have plenty of room for luggage. Family vehicles are the Ford Focus Station Wagon, Ford Focus C-Max and Opel Zafira. An even larger vehicle may be required, such as the Ford Galaxy and Mercedes-Vito, which has room for nine people.
Alternative vehicle categories from Auriga Crown include Automatic, 4x4, Cabriolet and Luxury. For more information, it is best to contact Auriga Crown Car Hire directly at their Palma de Mallorca Airport rental location.
