For the travellers who want to discover different parts of Pollença or who want to move faster and more comfortably to different places, the best option is to get a taxi. In Pollença taxis are easily differentiated because they are white with a blue diagonal line and they have the TAXI and local emblem on them. They use taximeter. 

Mallorca has a road net in constant renovation. Roads are not very fast but there is an extensive road network connecting cities, towns and rural areas. There are two major highways, one that bypasses Palma and another one that connects Palma to Sa Pobla. There are no long distances in Mallorca, so journeys often take less than one hour.

One of the roads with better landscapes is the one which crosses the Serra de Tramuntana, among mountains, valleys, reservoirs and cliffs, and even though the journey in kilometres is not very long, you have to bear in mind that it is a mountain road and you have to drive slowly. We advise you to take your time to do this trip, and above all, to remember to fill in the car’s petrol tank. A clear case of a mountain road is la Calobra, a 10 kilometres road with hairpin bends which takes you to one of the most outstanding beaches of Mallorca: the torrent de Pareis.

The roads that take you to some inlets are usually tertiary and unpaved roads.

The driving regulations in Pollença are very similar to the ones in any European country. Basically we have to know that the speed limit is 120 km/h in motorways, 90 km/h in conventional roads and 30 km/h inside towns or cities. Another important fact to remember is that the General Traffic Regulations resolves that we are not allowed to drive when the level of alcohol in blood exceeds 0.5 grams per litre, or the one of alcohol in air inhaled exceeds 0.25 milligrams per litre. To drive with higher alcohol doses is considered a serious offence. 

The historic town of Pollença is at 7 kilometres from Port de Pollença and Cala de Sant Vicenç, at 17 from Formentor beach and at 27 from Formentor’s cape. Driving in these areas is very easy, although during the summer season there can be traffic jams in the Formentor area.

To visit Pollença we recommend you to leave the car on the outskirts of the village as the town centre is mainly for pedestrians.

You can get by car to the various beaches of Port de Pollença, Cala de Sant Vicenç or Formentor. Parking there is easy and only in summer and in some of the sections slight problems may arise. 

To go to Formentor it is advisable to take the bus that runs between Alcúdia and Port de Pollença, as road traffic during the day is restricted.

Information on traffic regulation at the Formentor lighthouse.

Pollença is a very well stocked place in terms of petrol stations. There are three petrol stations in the town area, and there are many petrol station companies throughout the island. In most cases there is staff serving customers, but some stations are self-service; there are some that open 24 hours. For trips to the Serra de Tramuntana it is advisable to have a full tank as there are not many stations in the area and petrol consumption is always higher in mountain areas.

In Port de Pollença there are several companies that rent motorbikes and cars. Usually the collection and delivery of the vehicle is in the office, but it can also be done at the airport if the customer wishes so. Most of these companies have a website from which you can manage the rental. 

The rental price depends on the season, the type of car or motorbike, the vehicle extras and the number of rental days. To book well in advance can reduce the cost. 

To rent a car or a motorbike you have to give your passport and authorised driving licence. It is important to understand well the terms of the contract regarding insurance and mileage, and it is also recommended to check the car before renting it as you have to return it in the same condition or pay for the repair in case it has suffered some damage.

Renting scooters is very usual in summer, since to rent these mopeds is much cheaper and has the advantage that it can get to places which are more difficult to reach by car.

When hiring a car the customer receives a roadmap of Mallorca whith the main roads. You can buy more detailed road maps of the island in petrol stations and kiosks. 

You must be aware of the town names as they can either be in Spanish or in Catalan, and both refer to the same place. Traffic signs are almost always in Catalan, so we recommend buying a map in Catalan.
