Car hire in Formentera

We are often asked, "Do I need a car in Formentera?".
The Island of Formentera is relatively small at only 22 km from the port area in the North to the tip of the toe at La Mola. For this reason cycling is very popular.

That said, for guests that prefer to hire a car - this does give added flexibility especially where children are involved.
The temperatures in Formentera can get very high, and for some, cycling or walking becomes less practical.

Many of the properties we offer are quite remote (relatively secluded beach front properties), and for this reason a car is particularly useful for supermarket shopping and for reaching some of the further flung areas of the island.

We can offer our guests car hire in Formentera at cheap rates.

Booking early

It is VERY IMPORTANT to book car hire early for your Formentera holiday.
You must not leave this until the last minute as the demand for cars is very high in Formentera.

Formotor car hire in Formentera

The season dates and car hire prices are shown on the FORMOTOR CAR HIRE PRICES & BOOKING FORM
Formotor is a local family run operation that is also based at the port of La Savina.
They are extremely reliable and very professional. They are very flexible and offer pick up and drop off services to your property should you need this.
Their offices at the port are open all day.

Many guests chose to pick their car from the office at the port of La Savina, and return it to the same office when they leave. This saves money on taxi fares. There is a useful key drop box, just remember to fill the vehicle up with fuel at the end of your rental period.

It is not always possible to chose your vehicle other than your car group.
We give a rough guide to the type of vehicle in each car group on the pricing and car hire information booking forms above.

It is important to remember that cars are reserved by the day, so it makes sense to co-ordinate your pick up and drop off times well. It makes no sense to pay for a full extra day for just a few hours use.

Scooter Hire in Formentera

Sometimes it makes more sense to hire a car rather than a scooter in Formentera.
This is because for some dates, the price of a car is only a few more euros each day than a scooter.

If you would like to hire a scooter, we also offer cheap scooter hire on the island.
We use Formotor as our scooter rental company.
We book a scooter for you in advance, and send you the hire voucher by email.
