At the rank
Four seats, metered
An island taxi takes four, whatever their age, and the figure is whatever the meter says.
Cheap airport transfers
Menorca has no fixed airport fare. Every island taxi runs on a meter set by the Balearic tariff, and the widely copied price list people quote at you says in its own small print that its figures are orientativos — estimates of what the meter will read, not prices anybody is bound to. That matters most on the run west. The airport sits beside Maó at the eastern end, Aena names Ciutadella as the furthest town at about 45 kilometres, and the tariff reckons every journey as a closed circuit back to where it started.

Our vehicles
The island rank car seats four. Everything from a people carrier upwards exists because a party of five would otherwise be two vehicles and two closed-circuit fares. Count the heads first here, then the cases.

Excellent service...arrived at terminal and driver was waiting...helped with luggage to the car...smooth drive...perfect overall
Very reliable and easy to get a hold of. I was very confused leaving the airport - user error haha - and they were super helpful. My flight was also delayed and the guy who picked me up was on top of it.
Super affordable and professional service! The pricing was very clear from the start, with no hidden charges, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and the professionalism of the global airport taxi service stood out. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a hassle-free and budget-friendly option.
Amazing taxi service to the airport! Our driver was friendly, on time, and made the whole trip so easy. The car was clean and comfortable, and we got to the airport right on time. Would definitely use this service again!
Excellent service , driver waited for us as flight was delayed, clean car and smooth ride
I would totally recommend Global Airport Taxi to anyone needing a taxi service for their airport commute. I decided on way to the airport that I was flying out of that I will need a cab service at LHR. They were quick to respond to and accommodated some of my last minute schedule change requests after I had landed at LHR. Totally reliable and willing to be flexible. Outstanding customer support provided by Jennifer and Root. Keep it up guys !!
This was a brilliant service our driver was excellent he was friendly and helpful. Used again for the return journey and driver was professional and ensured we made it to the airport on time with heavy traffic
The service was extremely reliable. My cab arrived exactly on time for my early morning flight, which was a huge relief. Everything went smoothly, and I felt confident choosing this service. Highly recommend global airport taxi for stress-free airport transfers!
Amazing customer service, on time driver helped with cases. A pleasant experience Thank you
Very clean car and on time very polite driver will use them again
These scores cover the whole network rather than Menorca alone, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Trustindex supplies the widget, every review appears as its author wrote it, and none of it was written by us.
The service
Six differences between a Menorca airport transfer booked ahead and a Menorca airport taxi taken at the rank. Not one of them is a criticism of the rank, which is a regulated public service and the right answer for plenty of journeys on this island.
Agreed before you fly and printed on the confirmation. It does not move because the road was slow, because the flight was late, or because the meter would have said something else. On an island where the longest ordinary run is billed on 61 kilometres, that is the whole point of booking.
The island rank car is licensed for four people. Ours start there and go up through six, seven, eight and sixteen seats, so a family of five arrives in one vehicle rather than two and pays one figure rather than two closed circuits.
The booking follows your flight number. A delayed inbound moves the pickup instead of losing it, and 60 minutes of waiting from touchdown are inside the fare already.
Menorca’s published fare sheet prices bands, not doors: six separate places share one figure in the south-east corner alone. We price the address you are actually staying at, which on an island of scattered urbanitzacions is a different thing.
The sheet at the airport puts the baby seat on the parent and says the driver may decline the journey without one. Ours travel with the car, fitted before it leaves, at no cost — tell us the ages and weights when you book.
Online at booking, by Visa, Mastercard, American Express and more, with 24 hours of free cancellation behind it. Nothing is settled at the kerb and no cash crosses the handbrake.
Aena calls it the Aeropuerto de Menorca, the airline code is MAH, and the postal address is Ctra. Sant Climent, s/n, 07712 Mahón. You will see it written as Mahon Airport, Maó Airport and Menorca Airport, and they are all the same building. Aena never states how many terminals it has, and refers to “the terminal building” in the singular throughout its own documents, so this page does not count them either.
Aena puts the Menorca taxi rank at the terminal, floor 0, arrivals, and adds advice worth repeating whether or not you book anything: “always take a taxi from the signed taxi rank at the terminal and avoid taxi drivers offering services from other points.” If you walk out without a booking, that is the sentence to remember.
Aena gives the floor and the hall and stops there. Travellers who have used it consistently report the rank lying to the right as you come out of arrivals, with the overflow queue to the left, and the printed fare sheet displayed on a pillar near the tourist information desk rather than anywhere obvious. That is reported rather than published, and we pass it on with that label attached because it is more use than nothing and we would rather you knew which of the two it was.
Anything at all about pre-booked transfers, private hire or VTC at this airport. We looked at the taxi page, the transport page and the terminal map. There is no published pick-up point for a booked car, which is a real gap in the public information rather than an oversight on our part — so your confirmation names the meeting point instead, inside arrivals, by name board.
The tariff
One island, one interurban tariff, and one clause inside it that explains almost every surprise a visitor gets at the end of a journey west.
The short answer Menorca has no fixed airport fare. Journeys are metered under the Consell Insular de Menorca tariff of 2 August 2021: €3,29 flag-fall and €0,55 a kilometre by day, €3,52 and €0,65 at night, plus a flat €2,86 airport supplement. The tariff reckons every journey as a closed circuit back to its starting point, so the meter counts roughly twice the distance you ride.

| What is charged | Day (Tarifa 3) | Night or holiday (Tarifa 4) | How it works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flag-fall | €3,29 | €3,52 | Charged once at the start. The 2022 clarification states it already contains the first kilometre out and back. |
| Each kilometre | €0,55 | €0,65 | Applied to the closed circuit, not to the distance you personally travel. |
| Waiting, per hour | €18,84 | €19,06 | The only thing the meter counts on the return leg if you have hired the car both ways. |
| Airport supplement | €2,86 | €2,86 | Once per journey, on pick-up or set-down at Menorca airport. The same figure applies at a Port Authority port. |
| Radio booking | €1,26 | €1,26 | Added where the journey was dispatched by radio rather than taken at a rank. |
| Service supplement | €7,43 | €7,43 | For a dispatched job starting away from a traditional town centre, and only where the meter finishes below that figure. |
The island tariff is revised on the Consell Insular’s own calendar, not ours. Nothing above is a quotation.

En el viatge de retorn, el taxímetre ha de computar exclusivament el temps d’espera, si n’hi hagués, quan l’usuari sigui traslladat en el vehicle.On the return leg the meter counts waiting time only, where the passenger is carried in the vehicle.

The arithmetic
Menorca taxi prices are not fixed by anybody. The only public list of Menorca airport fares is the island trade’s own orientative sheet, hosted on Aena’s site and linked from Aena’s Menorca taxi page. It cites the tariff in its own footer. So we checked it against that tariff, row by row.
The short answer The night column of the published Menorca airport fare sheet reconstructs exactly as €6,51 plus €1,30 for each kilometre, and €1,30 is twice the €0,65 night rate, which is the closed-circuit rule in the tariff. The day column reconstructs as €7,07 plus €1,04, and €1,04 is twice €0,52 rather than twice the €0,55 now charged. The sheet describes itself as approximate and on this evidence it is.
These came off the Butlletí Oficial and the airport’s own sheet on the day this was written, and are not promised to hold until you travel.
Every destination
All 93 rows, with the distance each figure resolves to and what the same journey would come to at the rate now in force. Scroll it sideways on a phone. Nothing here is a quotation from us — it is somebody else’s published sheet, reproduced so you can read a meter and recognise a reasonable figure.
The short answer The published sheet lists 93 destinations. The furthest billed are Son Xoriguer on 61 km and Cala’n Bosch on 60 — both further than Ciutadella, which is billed on 48. The nearest are Sant Climent, Llumeçanes and the Explanada in Maó, billed on 8. Every figure is an estimate of what the meter will read, by the sheet’s own admission.

Where people actually stay
Twelve places chosen because that is where most of the island’s visitors sleep. Each record carries the distance the published sheet bills, what it estimates, and one thing about the journey that the fare alone does not tell you. No record carries a journey time, because no authority publishes one for this island and we are not going to invent twelve of them.
West end, north coast side
This is the journey the whole page turns on. It is the longest ordinary run on the island, it crosses the Me-1 end to end, and it is the one where the difference between a meter and an agreed figure is worth the most money.
South-west corner
Son Xoriguer is the most expensive destination on the whole sheet. If you are flying into a late slot and staying here, this is the single strongest case on the island for settling the figure before you leave home.
South coast, Ferreries municipality
The road in is a single descent to the cove and the resort sits at the bottom of it. Cars are kept out of parts of the seafront in season, which is a reason to be set down rather than to arrive with a vehicle to park.
South coast, Alaior municipality
The island’s longest beach, and the approach is a long straight run down from Alaior. Three separate places on the sheet share this exact fare, which is a reminder that the sheet prices a distance band rather than a door.
South coast, Es Migjorn Gran
Es Migjorn Gran itself is billed on 26,5 km and the beach below it on 32,5, so the last six kilometres down to the sand are a fifth of the fare.
North coast
The north coast is the side of the island the main road does not serve. Everything here comes off the Me-1 and runs north on a single-carriageway spur, which is why a village 33 km away can take longer than a town 40 km away.
North-east coast
Two of the island’s larger purpose-built resorts, and the two places where a party arriving on one flight most often needs more than one taxi, because the island rank car seats four.
South-east corner
Six separate destinations share this one fare. They are close to the airport by island standards, and this is the corner where the sheet’s arithmetic and the tariff in force sit closest together.
South coast, Alaior municipality
Fifteen kilometres is almost exactly the point at which the published sheet stops overstating the meter and starts understating it — see the reconstruction above.
East end, the island capital
The airport sits mostly inside the Maó municipality, so a run into town is the one journey on the island where it is not obvious whether the interurban tariff applies at all. The urban tariff is set by the ajuntament, and we could not find it published anywhere.
East, beyond Maó
Past the capital and down to the far side of the harbour. Cala Sant Esteve, a couple of kilometres on, is billed on 15 — the harbour road adds distance quickly.
The middle of the island
The two inland towns on the Me-1, and the junctions from which almost every north and south coast road leaves. If your address is “near Ferreries” the fare depends entirely on which side of it.
Read the tariff as orientation. The sheet that copies it says in its own small print that it is approximate.
How long
The question everyone asks first, and the one this island has no published answer to. Here is what is actually known, what can be worked out, and what we do instead of inventing a number.
The short answer No authority publishes car journey times from Menorca Airport. The only official figure is the Consell Insular’s line L10 bus to Maó at about ten minutes. Spain caps a car at 90 km/h on a conventional road, and Aena puts Ciutadella about 45 km away, so the theoretical floor for the longest ordinary run is about thirty minutes — a floor, not an estimate. The billed distances in the fare table are the closed circuit the meter reckons, so a time cannot be derived from them.
The floor, which is arithmetic rather than an estimate
A note on the travel times you will find elsewhere: the sites that publish them do not agree with each other, and on the longer runs the same route is quoted with gaps of twenty minutes or more. None of them cites a source, because there is not one to cite.
The Me-1 carries almost every airport journey for most of its length. Where it is busy, everything is busy, because on this island there is rarely a second way round.
Fornells is billed on 33 km and Cala Galdana on 40, but both leave the Me-1 for single-carriageway road. A shorter run on the north coast can take longer than a longer one straight down the trunk road.
Aena records close to seventy per cent of movements falling between Friday and Monday. A Saturday afternoon in August is when the airport, the Me-1 and the rank are all at their busiest at the same moment.
Several resorts are reached by one descent to the cove, and some restrict vehicles in season. That last stretch can take longer than the ten kilometres before it.
The island
Menorca is not a radius around an airport. It is a line, with the airport at one end of it, and almost every published fare on the island is a function of how far along that line you are going and which way you turn off.
The short answer The airport sits beside Maó at the eastern end of Menorca, and the Me-1 runs west to Ciutadella through Alaior, Es Mercadal and Ferreries. Resorts are reached by turning off that road, which is why places with very different journey times share identical fares. The south-east corner is nearest, billed on 18,5 km; the south-west corner is furthest, billed on 60 to 61 km.
The Me-1 runs between Maó and Ciutadella through Alaior, Es Mercadal and Ferreries. Nearly every address on the island is reached by leaving it at one of those towns and driving north or south. That is why the fare sheet bands so many different places onto one figure: they share the same stretch of trunk road and differ only in the spur.
Fornells is billed on 33 kilometres and Cala Galdana on 40, but the run north is single-carriageway spur road the whole way once you leave the Me-1. Distance and time are not the same thing on this island, and the tariff only prices one of them.
Ciutadella is billed on 48 kilometres. Cala’n Blanes, Cala Blanca, Santandria and Los Delfines all sit beyond it at 51 to 54, and Cala’n Bosch and Son Xoriguer at 60 and 61. If your resort is “near Ciutadella”, it is probably further than Ciutadella.
Punta Prima, Binibèquer, S’Algar, Alcaufar, Biniancolla and Son Ganxo are all billed on 18,5 kilometres and all priced identically. It is the nearest cluster of resorts to the airport, and the one place on the island where the difference between the sheet and the tariff barely matters.
The island capital is Maó in Catalan and Mahón in Castilian, and Aena uses the Castilian form in the airport’s own postal address. The airport land lies mainly inside the Maó municipality and partly in Sant Lluís, so a run into town may not be an interurban journey at all. Urban tariffs are set by each ajuntament separately. We could not find Maó’s published anywhere, and we are not going to invent it.
UNESCO records the island’s summit at 358 metres. It is also the row on the fare sheet that prints a night figure lower than its day figure, which is how we noticed it.
The car question
Every page about this island now mentions a cap on vehicles. Most of them are vague about whether it exists. It does not, yet — and here is exactly how far it has got.
The short answer There is no cap on vehicles entering Menorca. On 22 September 2026 the Parlament de les Illes Balears approved the presa en consideració of a bill amending the Menorca Biosphere Reserve law, which is the first stage of processing. Under the bill the Consell Insular would set a maximum and the periods it applies to, revisiting it annually or biennially. No maximum has been set and no date is fixed. Taxis, residents, homeowners with one vehicle per property, work travel and reduced mobility are among the reported exemptions.
If the bill becomes law in the form reported, the question changes from “can I hire a car?” to “is there a slot left?” for part of the year. Nobody can tell you yet, because the maximum does not exist and the periods have not been set. What is reported is that taxis sit among the exemptions, alongside official vehicles, emergency services and public and school transport.
Use it to frighten you into booking. This page will carry the bill’s actual status and nothing more until it has one — and if it is passed, amended or dropped, this section changes to say so. A transfer is worth booking on the first and last day of a holiday whatever happens to this bill, and it is worth nothing at all in the middle of a holiday spent exploring, which no legislation will alter.
The year
Menorca does not have a high season and a low season. It has a summer and an absence, and the numbers are more extreme than almost anyone expects.
The short answer Aena records rather more than 85 per cent of Menorca Airport’s annual passenger movements falling between May and October. In Aena’s 2024 monthly table August carried 750.279 passengers and January 79.411, a ratio of about nine to one, and close to seventy per cent of movements fall between Friday and Monday. The airport is closed overnight, 22.00 to 07.00 in winter and 00.30 to 07.00 in summer.
de mayo a octubre se registran algo más del 85% de los movimientos de pasajeros anualesAena, Declaración Medioambiental del Aeropuerto de MenorcaRather more than 85 per cent of the year’s passenger movements fall between May and October.
| Period | Passengers | What Aena says about it |
|---|---|---|
| August 2026 | 765.701 | up 1,8 per cent on August 2025, of which 461.966 international |
| September 2026 | 595.066 | up 3,7 per cent |
| February 2026 | 84.119 | down 9,7 per cent — and only 2.171 of them international |
| January to September 2026 | 3.737.775 | up 2,7 per cent, provisional |
Aena’s own two documents disagree on the 2024 annual total: the January 2025 press release gives 4.172.136 and the airport’s Environmental Declaration gives 4.166.429. We have not resolved it and are not going to guess which is right, so neither figure is used as a headline above.
August 2024 ran at 9.4 times January 2024 at this airport, on Aena’s own monthly table. Aena also records close to seventy per cent of movements falling between Friday and Monday. An island taxi fleet is a fixed number of licences serving a market that changes by that much — which is a structural fact about Menorca rather than a complaint about anybody’s service.
Reported rather than published: local press in February 2025 put around 200 taxis working the island at the height of the season, roughly half of them on temporary seasonal licences, with Maó holding 42 of those temporary licences and Ciutadella twenty. That is a trade figure in a newspaper, not a register, so treat it as the order of magnitude rather than a count — and notice what it says about the shape of the year: half the fleet exists only in summer.
That you cannot get a taxi in Menorca in winter. No authority publishes a winter service level for this island and we could not verify one, so we are not going to assert it to sell you something. What we will say is that a Saturday afternoon in August is the single busiest moment at this airport, and that is the arrival worth booking ahead of.
Your party
Almost every awkward Menorca transfer story starts with a party of five. The island’s rank cars take four, the fare is reckoned on a closed circuit, and two cars means two of them.
The short answer A Menorca island taxi is licensed for four passengers, counting children and infants. A party of five or more needs two vehicles and pays two separate fares, each reckoned on the closed-circuit rule. A booked transfer is sized to the party instead, up to sixteen seats on one figure.
| Your party | At the rank | Booked ahead | Why it matters here |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two adults | One island taxi | One booked saloon | No difference worth paying for on a short run. |
| Two adults, two children | One island taxi, if the seats are sorted | One booked saloon or estate | Four people is the licensed limit, and children count. |
| Two adults, three children | Two island taxis, two fares | One people carrier, one figure | This is the split that catches families at the rank in August. |
| Six friends | Two island taxis, two fares | One people carrier, one figure | Each of the two taxi fares is reckoned on its own closed circuit. |
| Eight, with the bags | Two island taxis, two fares | One 8-seater, one figure | Six large cases fit the 8-seater; they do not fit two saloons. |
| Sixteen, one flight | Four island taxis | One minibus | A wedding party or a dive group. Book well ahead on an island fleet. |

Published by the island authority today, revisable by the island authority tomorrow.
Children
The Spanish taxi exemption for child seats is real, and it is urban only. Almost every journey from this airport is interurban, which puts a family arriving in Menorca on the other side of that line.
The short answer Spanish law requires a child of 135 cm or less to use an approved restraint and, in a vehicle of up to nine seats, to travel in the rear. The taxi exemption applies only to urban traffic and urban areas of large cities, and only with the child in a rear seat; for an interurban journey an approved seat is required. A Menorca airport run to any resort is interurban. The liability sits with the accompanying adult rather than the professional driver, which is why the sheet at the airport puts the seat on the parent. On a booked transfer we supply and fit it at no charge.
Taxis in the United Kingdom sit under an exemption that lets a child travel without a seat in specific circumstances, with no urban limit attached to it. A great many British families land here assuming the same thing applies, and the sheet published at this airport does not read that way. The Spanish exemption exists, but it stops at the edge of the town, and a Menorca airport transfer almost always starts by leaving it.
A driver who says no at the kerb has ended your transfer, whatever the regulation says. With two tired children at the end of a flight that is a bad start to a holiday, and the alternative — travelling without a seat on an interurban run — is not something we want to be part of. Ours is in the car before it leaves.
Our full guide to child seats on airport transfers sets out how this works across the rest of the network, including the jurisdictions where a taxi exemption does apply without a geographic limit.
Luggage
Menorca is a diving, cycling and windsurfing island, which makes its luggage rules more relevant here than at most airports. The island tariff prices excess weight by the kilometre, and the kilometres are the closed circuit.
The short answer The Menorca island tariff carries 50 kg free in a vehicle of up to five seats and 60 kg in a larger one, plus 30 kg for each empty seat. Above that it charges €0,04 per 10 kg or part, per kilometre travelled. The airport sheet prices a surfboard or bicycle at €10 and does not treat it as luggage. A booked transfer sizes the vehicle to the bags with no weight charge.
| What | How much | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Free allowance, up to five seats | 50 kg | Across all the seats in the vehicle, on the island tariff. |
| Free allowance, larger vehicles | 60 kg | Plus a further 30 kg for every seat left empty. |
| Above the allowance | €0,04 | For each 10 kg or part of it, for every kilometre travelled — and the kilometres are the closed circuit, not the ones you ride. |
| Surfboard, bicycle or similar | €10 | The airport sheet says these are not luggage and prices them separately. |
| Golf clubs | No authority publishes one. Rather than fill the gap with a plausible number, this page leaves it open — send us the address and it gets priced. | The sheet does not mention them at all. |
We re-read these at source periodically. Between those reads, assume drift.
Getting to the door
On an island of calas and scattered urbanitzacions, the last two hundred metres are the part worth settling in advance. Four things that decide them.
The airport sheet is explicit: a journey over a road that is not surfaced may carry a further charge, and the driver may decline it. Several well-known coves on this island are reached exactly that way. Tell us the address and we will tell you where the car can actually stop before you book.
Some of Menorca’s best-known coves restrict vehicle access in the summer months. Being set down and collected is often the practical answer in those places, and it is another reason the first and last day of a holiday are the days a transfer earns its keep.
A great deal of Menorca’s accommodation is in scattered urbanitzacions where the resort name alone will not find the door. The published fare sheet prices bands rather than addresses — six separate places share one figure in the south-east. Give us the villa address and the urbanització name together.
A folding manual chair travels in an ordinary vehicle. A powered chair or a scooter needs a vehicle chosen for it, and on this island the number of adapted vehicles is small — the figures circulating publicly disagree with each other and none of them comes from a register, so this page gives none. What matters practically is the same either way: this is the one booking on Menorca that needs real notice rather than 48 hours. Send us the model, the folded dimensions and the weight and we will tell you what can take it before you pay.
Maó and Ciutadella are at opposite ends, so arriving by sea rather than by air changes the transfer completely. Our cruise port transfers hub covers sea arrivals, and the two neighbouring islands have pages of their own.
The other ways
Every honest transfer page needs this section and most of them do not have one. Here is what else there is from Menorca Airport, with the official figures where they exist, and the journeys where we are not the right answer.
The short answer The Consell Insular de Menorca runs line L10 between Menorca Airport and the Maó bus station, about ten minutes, €2,75 for a full single, hourly out of season and every half hour in high season. It serves Maó only; the Consell’s airport page publishes no direct bus to Ciutadella. Uber, Cabify and Bolt do not operate in Menorca. A shared shuttle is the cheapest pre-booked option and costs time, because it fills before it leaves and calls at several addresses.
| About the L10 | What the Consell publishes | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Line | L10 | Published by the Consell Insular de Menorca |
| Where it goes | Maó bus station to the airport | Into the capital only |
| How long | about 10 minutes | From the airport to the bus station |
| What it costs | €2,75 | A full single fare |
| How often | Hourly out of season, every half hour in high season | The timetable moves with the season |
| To Ciutadella | No authority publishes one. Rather than fill the gap with a plausible number, this page leaves it open — send us the address and it gets priced. | The Consell Insular’s airport page publishes no direct bus between the airport and Ciutadella. The connection it describes is into Maó. |
The Consell Insular setting a tariff is not us setting a price. Only the second is a commitment to you.
A pre-booked seat in a vehicle shared with other arrivals. It is the cheapest thing you can book ahead and the honest trade is time: the vehicle normally waits to fill, then calls at several addresses, so the party dropped last can be an hour or more behind the party dropped first. On an island where the resorts are forty and sixty kilometres apart in opposite directions, that stacks up faster than it does on a compact island. It also may not stop at your door. If your party is four or more, run the per-seat price against a whole vehicle before you book — it often crosses over.
If you booked a package, a transfer by coach is usually already included and already paid for. It is the slowest option by some distance, because it serves a circuit of hotels in order, and the smallest children are generally not allowed in the front rows. It is not a bad product; it is a product sized for a plane-load. Whether to upgrade is a question about your own party and your own arrival hour, not about the coach.
Uber, Cabify and Bolt are not available in Menorca. When Uber launched in Eivissa in November 2023 the local press recorded that Menorca was, with Formentera, the only Balearic island without the service, and that has not changed since. The Balearic government has been working on a taxi and VTC regulation, and what it finally permits is not yet something we can state — so this page says what is true today and will say something else when that changes.
The L10 is a cash fare at the stop. At the rank, agree with the driver before you set off whether a card is accepted — no authority publishes a card-acceptance rule for island taxis, and we are not going to assert one. If you are going to need cash, the arrival hall is the most expensive place on the island to get it.
Two people travelling light into Maó should take the L10. It is about ten minutes, it costs €2,75 a head, and nothing we sell improves on that. We would rather tell you than take a booking you did not need and lose you as a customer the next time you fly.
When there are cases. When there are children. When the flight lands at 23.40 and the timetable has stopped. And above all when you are not going to Maó — because the connection the Consell Insular publishes for this airport runs into the capital, and anything further west becomes a second journey with its own timetable, its own fare and its own luggage problem.
Covered honestly above. A Menorca airport transfer and a hire car answer different questions. For a fortnight spent moving around this island, hire one. For the first day and the last, a transfer does a job a hire car does badly: it does not need collecting, it does not need returning with a full tank before a 07.00 flight, and it does not need parking at a cala that restricts parking.
On the day
Four steps, and the hours that decide what an unbooked journey would have cost.
Shown for context. Price your own address on the booking form rather than from this page.
Going home
Almost every page about this airport covers the arrival and stops. The journey back is the harder one, and it is the one worth settling in advance.
The short answer There is no taxi rank at a Menorcan resort, so the return to the airport has to be sent for rather than queued for. The closed-circuit rule applies in both directions, so a metered return costs much the same as the outward run. Menorca Airport is closed overnight, 22.00 to 07.00 in winter and 00.30 to 07.00 in summer, which makes an early departure from a quiet address the hardest journey on the island to arrange at short notice.
Aena records Menorca shut from 22.00 to 07.00 in winter and 00.30 to 07.00 in summer. An 07.00 departure means being at the terminal before the island has woken up, from a resort where there is no rank and, out of season, no bus until later in the morning.
Ranks are in the towns. At a villa or an urbanització a car has to be sent, which is a booking rather than a queue — and on a Sunday morning in a quiet month, sending one takes longer than people expect.
The closed-circuit rule does not care which direction you are going. A metered run from the west end back to the airport is reckoned on the same circuit as the run out, so the figure looks much the same.
It costs nothing to settle both at once, it fixes the figure for both, and it is the only way to be certain a vehicle is at a quiet address at 04.30 in February. If your flight moves, tell us and the booking moves.
One caveat behind every amount here: true at its source on the day, and your quote is what is true for you.
The terms
The policy in one table, with the figures still to be confirmed marked as such rather than guessed at. Nothing here is different for Menorca than for anywhere else on the network.
| Term | What applies | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Free waiting, airport arrival | 60 min | From touchdown. |
| Free waiting with bags to reclaim | 90 min | For a flight with hold luggage. |
| Free waiting, any other pickup | 15 min | From a hotel, villa or port address. |
| After the free waiting | CONFIRM: the waiting rate after the free period | Set out on the confirmation. |
| Free cancellation | 24 hours | Before the pickup time. |
| Inside that window | CONFIRM: the cancellation terms inside 24 hours | Depends on vehicle and notice. |
| No-show | CONFIRM: the no-show position | Governed by the booking terms. |
| An extra stop | CONFIRM: the charge for a named extra stop | Priced onto the booking beforehand, not at the kerb. |
| Child seats | No charge | Fitted before the car leaves. |
| Deposit | None | Paid in full at booking. |
| Book at least | 12 hours ahead | And 48 hours where a seat, a wheelchair or a group is involved. |
Where a figure here moves, the quote you were given does not. That is what agreeing it in advance buys.
The vehicles
The first row carries the same four passengers as an island rank car. Everything below it carries more, which on this island is the main reason to book rather than queue.
| Class | Passengers | Large cases | Small cases | What it is for here |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saloon | 4 | 2 | 2 | Two or three with a case each. The same four seats as the rank car, with the figure agreed instead of counted. |
| Estate | 4 | 3 | 3 | Four and three large cases. On a west-end run the boot is the reason to pick this over the saloon. |
| Executive | 3 | 2 | 2 | Up to three, where an hour across the island is the reason for the upgrade rather than the distance. |
| People carrier | 6 | 4 | 4 | Six in one vehicle — the first class that takes a party the island rank would have to split in two. |
| 7-seater | 7 | 4 | 5 | Seven and four large cases. A family group to the south coast in one go. |
| 8-seater | 8 | 6 | 8 | Eight and six large cases. Two rank cars’ worth of people, one vehicle, one figure. |
| 16-seater | 16 | 14 | 16 | A wedding party or a dive group off one flight, booked ahead. |
| 30-seater coach | 30 | 30 | 30 | Groups arriving together in season, booked well ahead. |
| 50-seater coach | 50 | 50 | 50 | A large group arrival planned months rather than days out. |
Capacities are the class standard. The specific vehicle is named on your confirmation before you travel.
What is included
Every extra that a meter or an app might add is covered in the fare you are quoted. The conditions behind each line are in our terms and in your confirmation.
Inside arrivals with a name board up — which matters more here than at most airports, because Aena publishes no meeting point for booked cars at Menorca, so yours is named on your confirmation instead. The cases are the driver’s job.
The booking follows the flight number rather than the clock, so a late inbound moves the pickup instead of losing it.
For airport arrivals the first 60 minutes after landing cost nothing, enough for the border and the carousel (see your booking terms).
Agreed at booking, for the whole vehicle rather than per head, with no meter running and no closed circuit to reckon. Tax and any airport charge are itemised on the summary rather than folded into a total.
Baby, toddler and booster seats on request. In Spain a seat is needed for children under 135 cm, with a narrow exemption for taxis on urban journeys, so ask for one.
Every journey is carried out by a licensed local supplier, and the driver and the vehicle are named on your confirmation before you travel.
Free to cancel up to 24 hours before the pickup. Inside that, and on a no-show, the booking terms govern rather than this page.
Phone, WhatsApp or email, from booking until you reach your hotel, villa or urbanització.
Luggage up to the class capacity is inside the figure, with no weight tariff and no per-kilometre excess. A second address, or waiting past the included time, is priced onto the booking first.

How it works
Booking takes a few minutes. Four things happen after it, in this order.
The field that does the most work: it ties the pickup to the real landing time. The second most useful field on this island is the full address, because a resort name alone will not find a villa in an urbanització.
Ahead of the pickup you get the driver’s name, a mobile number and the exact meeting point inside arrivals — which Aena does not publish for booked cars here, so we do.
The carousel at a one-terminal island airport in August runs slower than anyone plans for, which is why 60 minutes of waiting from landing is inside the fare. Held longer, message the driver from the hall.
Payment is taken online at booking and the confirmation is mailed once it clears. The figure printed on it is the figure, whatever the meter in the next car along is doing.
Who we are
Named, registered and checkable, because a page that asks you to pay before you travel should say who is taking the money.
Everything else
45 questions in 9 groups, starting with the two that no other Menorca page seems to answer: what the meter is really counting, and whether the published sheet is right.
A tariff frozen for years can be unfrozen in a morning. Treat these as a record of today.
Book it
One form, one figure for the whole car, and no closed circuit reckoned against it at the end.
The short answer Pricing a Menorca transfer takes three things: the full address rather than a resort name, the flight number, and the head count. The figure covers the vehicle rather than each passenger, is agreed before you fly, and cancels free until 24 hours before pickup.
The full address rather than a resort name, because the published sheet on this island prices bands and six separate places share one figure in the south-east corner alone. The flight number, which ties the pickup to the real landing time. And the head count before the bag count, because four is where the island rank car stops and the whole arithmetic of this page turns on it. Tell us about a child seat, a board, a bike or a wheelchair at the same time and we will put the right vehicle in front of you rather than the nearest one.

Paid by Visa, Mastercard, American Express and more, in full at booking, with 24 hours of free cancellation behind it. And the standing caveat of this page: two people travelling light into Maó should take the L10 bus at €2,75, and anyone planning to spend a fortnight moving between calas should hire a car. Selling you a transfer you did not need is not a result either of us wants.
Every one of these is somebody else’s number, reproduced so you can check ours against it.

The figure is settled before you fly, for the whole vehicle rather than per person, and no closed circuit is reckoned against it. A driver is standing in arrivals with a name board up, and the booking follows the aircraft, so a late inbound moves the pickup and costs nothing. Up to 60 minutes of waiting from landing is already inside it. Child seats are free for the asking and fitted before the car leaves, and the whole thing cancels free up to 24 hours out.
