Palma de Mallorca transfer: from the airport to the city centre by private car, taxi or bus

Palma city centre is just 8-12 km from the airport: fifteen to twenty minutes on the Ma-19. It's a short run, so the difference between the options isn't really the price — it's the time you lose and whether you all arrive together. And if there are several of you —family, friends or a group—, one taxi isn't enough: you'll need two. In this guide we compare all four alternatives with real figures.

How to get from the airport to Palma city centre

Four alternatives for a short journey. Here the difference is in the waiting and the comfort, not so much in the price.

Private transfer

Exclusive vehicle, fixed price of €55 for 5–8 people. Your driver waits in arrivals with your name and tracks your flight: no queues and no surprises.

  • Fixed price, day or night
  • Flight tracking included
  • Door to door, no queue
From €55 / journey (5–8 pax)

Taxi

A taxi carries up to 4 passengers: a group of 5 to 8 needs two, between €55 and €60 in total. It's competitive on price, but the meter climbs at night and on public holidays, the rank queues up in high season and the group travels split.

  • Variable price (meter)
  • Two vehicles for one group
  • Queues in high season
€30–€60 2 taxis, estimated

Shared shuttle

Some services run between the airport and city-centre hotels. The price per person is low, but you wait for the vehicle to fill and it calls at several hotels before yours.

  • Waiting and intermediate stops
  • Doesn't reach every address
  • Low price per person
From €6 / person

Public bus TIB (line 1)

Line 1 connects the airport with the city centre for €2–3 per person in 30–40 minutes. By far the cheapest option, but it drops you at a fixed stop: with luggage and as a group, that last leg usually needs another vehicle.

  • Fixed stop, not door to door
  • Awkward with luggage
  • Very cheap
~€2–3 / person

Note: On such a short run the private transfer isn't always the cheapest option, and we don't sell it as one. Taxi prices are metered estimates calculated for two vehicles, since a taxi takes a maximum of 4 passengers; they can rise at night (21:00–07:00), on public holidays or with extra luggage. What is fixed is the transfer price: €55 for the whole group, at any hour.

4 things to know before choosing how to reach Palma city centre

On a twenty-minute journey, what you pay for is certainty.

One vehicle instead of two taxis

From 5 people onwards a taxi is no longer enough. The transfer costs €55 for the whole group —€6.88 each if there are eight of you— and you all leave together, in the same vehicle, with all the luggage.

The taxi queue in high season

In July and August the airport taxi rank builds up long waits, precisely when several flights land one after another. With a transfer booked, your driver is already waiting as you walk out of the terminal.

At night the meter changes

Between 21:00 and 07:00, and on public holidays, the tariff goes up. On a flight landing in the early hours the taxi fare stops being the one you looked up, while the transfer price is the same at any time.

The bus is cheap, but leaves you short

Line 1 is unbeatable on price, but it ends at a city-centre stop. With suitcases, children, or accommodation on a pedestrian street, that final stretch usually ends in another taxi.

Frequently asked questions: transfer to Palma city centre

Between 15 and 20 minutes on the Ma-19 motorway, for a distance of 8 to 12 km depending on the exact part of the centre. At rush hour and in high season the approach into Palma can add a few minutes.

Between €15 and €55 per vehicle on the meter, depending on the time of day and traffic. A taxi takes a maximum of 4 passengers, so a group of 5 to 8 people needs two: between €55 and €60 in total. At night (21:00–07:00), on public holidays or with extra luggage the figure rises, and there is no guaranteed price.

Yes, TIB line 1 connects the terminal with the city centre for around €2–3 per person, with a journey of 30 to 40 minutes. It's the cheapest option, but it drops you at fixed stops: travelling as a group, with luggage or late at night, you need to allow for that last leg to your accommodation.

Per whole vehicle. For 5–8 people it's €55 in total: if eight of you travel, that works out at €6.88 per person, exclusive and with no intermediate stops. For larger groups we have vehicles seating up to 20.

Your driver tracks the flight status in real time and adjusts the pick-up automatically. If it's delayed, they wait at no extra charge and you don't need to let us know.
