Ibiza Airport serves the island of Ibiza, which is a well-known and very popular holiday destination for many local and international visitors, particularly in the warm summer months of the island. Ibiza is one of Spain’s Balearic Islands, and is the closest of the islands to the mainland. It is also commonly referred to as the ‘party capital of Europe’, as it is famous for its large nightclubs and ‘party’ atmosphere. However, Ibiza also offers many other attractions, such as beautiful beaches and historical sights. Ibiza Airport handles around five million passengers per year, and is the main gateway for the Balearic Islands of Ibiza and Formentera. The best form of transport available is a hired car, from a car hire company such as Sixt. Sixt Car Rental is one of the most popular providers of car rental services in the world, and offers Ibiza Airport customer’s competitive rental rates.
At Ibiza Airport, many of the car hire companies are found in the arrivals area of the single terminal building, but others, like Sixt, will require a shuttle service in order to reach the offices. The trip by bus is quick and convenient, and is a free service offered by the car hire company, therefore, there is no additional expense on the part of the customer. The buses are also usually available round the clock, or at least during the office hours of the car hire company, and they often support travel for disabled persons. Sixt is one of the largest car rental companies in the world, and provide many unique services for their customers. It is highly recommended for more frequent renters to apply for the Sixt Express Card, for access to the Sixt Quick-Check-In terminals, the Sixt Mobile-Check-In service as well as the Sixt Online-Check-In Service.
At many Sixt locations, customers with a Sixt Express card will be able to create their own rental contract from the Sixt Quick-Check-In terminals, and bypass the rental counters. An advanced reservation is needed for this service, and upon arriving at the airport, customers will simply insert their Express Card or credit card into the terminal to access their reservation, choose from one of three vehicles and print their rental agreement. The vehicle keys are stored in a safe. Especially during the busier warmer season of Ibiza, it is recommended to make an advanced reservation, from Sixt’s website at www.sixt.com. This will ensure that your ideal car is ready and waiting for you. Other types of Express Cards include the Sixt Ladies Card; whereby ladies can benefit from their partner’s corporate rates, and the Sixt Gold Card, with exclusive benefits for more frequent renters.
At Sixt Ibiza Airport, customers can hire child seats, luggage racks or satellite navigation systems as optional extras, and may even be able to arrange a one way hire or make use of hand controls, which are designed for the assistance of drivers with a lower limb deficiency. Hand controls operate the brake and accelerator pedals of an automatic vehicle, but no other functions, such as the car lights, blinkers or windshield wipers. At Ibiza Airport, hand controls should always be booked in advance. A one way hire is useful for those who will need to return their rented car to another Sixt rental location, perhaps because they will not be returning to Ibiza Airport. Hand controls are used free of charge, but a one way hire from Ibiza Airport may cost a bit extra. Child seats, luggage racks and satellite navigation systems will also add an extra cost per day of rental, but may be essential items for the success of your journey in Ibiza. Keep in mind, that Spanish law requires all occupants of a vehicle to wear seatbelts, therefore babies and young children should have their own seat.
Vehicles from Sixt Ibiza Airport car rental come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from the very small Smart For Two (ideal just for two!) to the large Opel Vivaro, seating up to nine passengers. Small cars such as the Smart For Two, as well as the Ford Ka, Opel Corsa, Renault Clio and Citroen C3, have a very low minimum age for their rental, of just 18. They are perfect for single drivers or couples, or even for families who are not carrying a heavy load of luggage. These cars come with the best rental prices, and will help you save money, as they are very light on fuel. However, should these cars be too small for your holiday or business trip, vehicles considered to be of an average size are available, and may include the Ford Focus, VW Golf and Opel Astra, also with an age requirement of just 18. The majority of the cars mentioned have a manual (stick-shift) transmission, and air conditioning.
Families in need of a vehicle with some space for luggage will find estate cars at Sixt Ibiza, such as the Renault Clio Grandtour, Volvo V50 and BMW Serie 3 Touring, which is a car that can have either a manual or automatic transmission. Other larger vehicles seating up to five passengers are the Opel Meriva and VW Touran, which are MPVs, and also ideal for families. They offer reasonable space for luggage as well. Another favourite MPV is the Chrysler Voyager, with room for seven people, and four luggage items. Most of these vehicle have a minimum age restriction of 21, and require the drivers to have held their licenses for at least two years prior to the rental date. More costly vehicles, such as the convertibles owned by Sixt, require the drivers to be at least 25 years of age. They may be similar to the Peugeot 308 Cabrio, Opel Tigra and Volvo C70.
Further necessities for hiring a car from Sixt, at Ibiza Airport, will be a major credit card, and foreign renters will need an International Driving Permit, even if their local license is accepted by Sixt, as an IDP is required by Spanish law. Sixt, at their Ibiza Airport rental location, will be happy to assist with any further enquiries.
