Menorca by car
Menorca keeps its main towns at opposite ends of the island, Mahón above its long harbour and Ciutadella facing Mallorca. A single road joins them, and everything else branches off it towards beaches that are reached on foot.
Driving in Menorca
Menorca is reached by Me-1. Parking in the centre is paid and marked by zone. Streets in the old centre are narrow, a smaller car is easier.
From the airport without a car
Buses from the airport run into Maó, where Transportes Menorca (TMSA), the operator covering the east of the island, starts its services at the Bus Station; taxis and pre-booked transfer shuttles also meet arrivals.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I pick up a car in Menorca?
In the city and at the airport — Menorca Airport. Which desk, and whether it sits inside the terminal or a shuttle ride away, is shown by the rental company before you book.
Spain: which side of the road do they drive on?
On the right. Speed limits are posted at the roadside and differ between towns, open roads and motorways.
Which currency will I be charged in?
Prices are usually set in EUR. The rental company sets both the price and the deposit, and shows them before you book.
