Driving in Spain, particularly Menorca, which is one of the Balearic Islands of the Mediterranean Sea, is a fantastic experience. The Islands are renowned for their beautiful white sandy beaches, rolling countryside, amazing cuisine and are popular with everyone from families to honeymooners.
If you are here for a short visit or on business, instead of hiring a taxi, we suggest you rent a car at Mahon airport, through a trustworthy car rental company giving you the freedom to explore the Island.
Driving in Menorca is easy and safe so here are a few driving tips to be aware of that will help you on your way.
- If you are used to driving on the left, here in Spain, you must drive on the right. That’s the rule!!
- Flashing headlights to warn the car in front you are overtaking them is a very common thing in some countries, however in Spain it’s against the law, so we advise you just to use your indicators.
- Driving with flip flops isn’t allowed, so we advise you to wear appropriate footwear with a heel fitting.
- Do not go over the speed limits. Check with your car hire company Menorca and find out the speed limits in Menorca. Generally, the speed limit in town is 40 km/h and on open roads, it is 90 km/h.
