Record Go Mallorca Review 2026: Car Rental Tips

When planning a trip to Mallorca, the very first thing to figure out is

= Transportation

The island is massive—nearly twice the size of Oahu, Hawaii—and its most stunning, secluded beaches are tucked away in remote corners.

Since relying solely on public transit limits where you can go,

renting a car is definitely the way to go. Here is a breakdown of how to choose the right rental agency.

This is a step-by-step guide to booking with the highly recommended local provider,

Record Go, directly on their official website with full coverage, along with a rate comparison to help you save!✨

Comparing Mallorca Car Rental Agencies (Hertz vs. Wiber vs. Record Go)

As a world-class vacation destination, Mallorca has plenty of car rental options.

Here is how the top three most popular agencies stack up for international travelers:

📍Hertz

A reliable global giant.

While vehicle conditions and customer service are guaranteed,

their rates at the Mallorca branch were significantly higher than other local competitors.

📍Wiber

A highly rated local favorite with excellent reviews from budget-conscious travelers.

Great prices and overall solid feedback.

BUT

Their pickup and drop-off location is off-site, outside Palma de Mallorca Airport.

This means dragging heavy suitcases onto a shuttle bus just to get to your car,

which sounded a bit too exhausting after a long flight, so we passed.

📍Record Go

Our final choice based on budget and maximum convenience!✨

The rates are just as competitive as Wiber, and they have excellent reviews.

Best of all, their rental counter is located directly inside the Mallorca Airport terminal.

The pickup lot is connected right to the terminal, making the logistics incredibly smooth.

Booking Directly on the Record Go Official Website

While third-party booking platforms are common for European road trips,

dealing with claims or accidents can get messy through a middleman.

Booking directly on the official website offers complete peace of mind.

Plus, Record Go frequently runs promotions on their site, allowing you to snag a great deal.

📍Driver Age

Click [Find your vehicle] to view the available fleet.

When browsing cars in Europe, there is one absolutely crucial filter to set first:

❗️Transmission❗️

Manual cars are still the default in Europe.

Be sure to click the [Transmission] tab at the top and select [Automatic].

Once filtered, you can choose your vehicle size.

Mallorca has very narrow historic streets and tight parking spots,

so a smaller car is highly recommended. However, the absolute smallest "Mini" class might be too tight for luggage.

Initially, we looked at the popular compact hybrid SUV class (Toyota C-HR/Yaris Cross equivalent),

but we realized we were staying at the same hotel for all 3 nights.

(Airport to Hotel) & (Hotel to Airport)

We only needed to fit our large suitcases during those two airport transfers.

For daily beach hopping, we would be driving luggage-free.

So, we went with the more budget-friendly 'EDAR (Toyota Yaris or similar)' economy class!✨

By folding down the back seats during airport transfers, it easily fits two large suitcases.

Record Go Rates: Basic Go vs. Just Go (Full Cover)

After picking your car, you will choose your coverage tier.

Record Go offers two primary plans, both including unlimited mileage and basic roadside assistance:

📍Basic Go (Standard)

✔️ Basic third-party coverage

✔️ High insurance excess (deductible) in case of damage

✔️ Large security deposit hold required on your credit card

📍Just Go (Full Cover)

✔️ Zero excess (no personal liability for damage)

✔️ No hefty credit card security deposit required

✔️ Express Line access at the airport counter for faster pickup

For international road trips, choosing Full Cover (Just Go) is highly recommended

to avoid any unexpected, costly surprises on vacation.

Thanks to a 51% member promotion, our 3-day Just Go rate came out to just around $90!

⭐️Free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup⭐️

Rates fluctuate constantly. We recommend booking early,

then checking back periodically to see if the price drops. If it does, simply cancel and rebook at the lower rate!

Note: Record Go recently updated their policy from a 24-hour cancellation window to 48 hours, so keep that in mind.

Adding Total Comfort Premium Coverage

Once you select Just Go, you will see an add-on option for

[Total Comfort Premium Coverage].

For an extra $5.50 per day ($16.50 total for our 3-day rental), this covers:

📍

✔️ Premium Roadside Assistance

✔️ Special deep cleaning fees

✔️ Key loss, lockouts, or vehicle theft protection

To ensure we wouldn't have to worry about a single thing, we added this premium coverage.

Our final total for a [3-Day Rental + Just Go Full Cover + Premium Coverage]

came out to exactly $107.

Driver Details & Easy Check-in

The final step is entering the primary driver’s information:

📍

✔️ Full Name: Must match your passport exactly.

✔️ Country: Select your home country.

✔️ Passport Number: Your official ID.

✔️ Telephone: Include your country code (e.g., +1 for the US).

✔️ Complete billing address.

✔️ Flight details (optional): Highly recommended so the local branch is aware of any flight delays.

Once payment is processed, you will receive a confirmation email.

Lines at the Mallorca Airport desk can get long during peak season.

[Easy Check-in]

By completing the online check-in ahead of time,

you can use the self-service digital kiosks at the terminal to grab your keys instantly. Highly recommended!✨

✨[Essential Tips for Driving in Mallorca]✨

✔️ Set up your navigation using Waze alongside Google Maps for real-time traffic updates.

✔️ Bring both your International Driving Permit (IDP) and your domestic driver's license.

✔️ Pack a reliable car phone mount and charging cables (both USB and USB-C).

✔️ Use a physical credit card in the main driver’s name for the deposit (prepaid or travel cards are often rejected).

✔️ Bring the exact physical card used for the online booking.

✔️ Fill up the tank within 6 miles of the airport before returning the car.

(Returning it with less than a full tank can trigger hefty refueling surcharges.)

✔️ Keep the final gas station receipt as proof of refilling.

The main highlight of our trip isn't actually visiting Calo des Moro beach—

we are heading to Mallorca to take tennis lessons at the world-famous Rafa Nadal Academy!
