Ibiza ranks third in Europe for car rental prices this summer
Ibiza is among Europe’s costliest places to rent a car in August 2026, with the cheapest available rental averaging €597 a week, according to a survey by Cheapcarrental.com. The findings show sharp price differences across popular holiday spots, with Mallorca far cheaper and several Spanish destinations below €150 a week.
Why it matters: - Holidaymakers in Ibiza, Menorca and other high-demand islands face much higher transport costs this summer. - The survey highlights how car rental prices can vary sharply across Europe, even between nearby destinations. - Travelers comparing airports before booking can save hundreds of euros per week.
What happened: - Cheapcarrental.com surveyed car rental prices across 60 European destinations for August 2026. - The comparison used each destination’s main airport as the pick-up and drop-off point. - Ibiza ranked 3rd most expensive, with an average weekly price of €597 for the cheapest available rental car. - Tromsø, in northern Norway, ranked 1st at €821 per week. - Menorca ranked 7th at €504 per week. - Mallorca was much cheaper at €235 per week.
The details: - The 10 most expensive destinations were Tromsø (€821), Cagliari (€634), Ibiza (€597), Ireland West (€532), Oslo (€516), Reykjavik (€515), Menorca (€504), Bordeaux (€455), Edinburgh (€441) and Cardiff (€439). - The prices reflect average weekly rates for the most affordable rental car available between August 1 and August 31, 2026. - Alicante, Malaga and Tenerife were among the least expensive destinations, with rental cars available for below €150 per week. - More information is available in the full survey results.
Between the lines: - Peak-summer demand appears to be pushing up prices in places with strong tourism and limited vehicle supply. - The Balearic Islands show a wide split, with Ibiza and Menorca near the top of the ranking and Mallorca far lower. - The results suggest that where travelers pick up a car can matter as much as the destination itself.
What's next: - Summer travelers heading to Europe can use airport-based price checks to compare costs before booking. - Rental prices may continue to shift as August demand changes across major tourist markets.
The bottom line: - Ibiza is one of Europe’s priciest car rental markets this summer, but nearby alternatives can be substantially cheaper.
