Located approximately 7 km from the capital Ibiza City (Eivissa), it is centrally positioned relative to the island's main tourist zones, from San Antonio to Santa Eulalia.

Car rental at Ibiza Airport
Car rental is a very popular option on Ibiza, especially for those wanting to reach the island's most remote coves: Hertz, Avis, Europcar, Sixt, and Goldcar all have dedicated desks at the airport.
In July and August, vehicle availability runs out very quickly: booking well in advance is almost essential.
Bring your driver's license, ID document, and credit card in the driver's name for the security deposit; book well in advance during peak season. Spanish citizens and those from other EU/EEA countries drive with just their national license; for all others, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is generally also required.

Terminal guide
The airport has a single terminal, significantly expanded in 2015 to respond to steady growth in summer tourist traffic, with check-in and security areas distributed across multiple lines to handle traffic peaks.
On peak traffic days, typically Saturday in full season, security check wait times can lengthen noticeably compared to the rest of the week.
From check-in to gate you typically walk a few minutes; security checks can take longer during peak summer months.
