Minorca Airport is the quietest among the main Balearic Islands, reflecting the island's more reserved and less fashionable character compared to nearby Majorca and Ibiza, much appreciated by those seeking more authentic tourism.
Located about 5 km from the capital Mahón, in a central position relative to the numerous coves and beaches that dot the island's coast.

Car rental at Menorca Airport
Car rental is very widespread on Menorca, a smaller and quieter island than Mallorca and Ibiza, ideal for exploring independently: Hertz, Avis, and Europcar have dedicated desks at the airport.
Rates are generally more affordable than on the larger islands, even during peak summer months.
Bring your driver's license, ID document, and credit card in the driver's name; book well in advance during peak summer 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.
