Land with your onward journey already settled

You have landed in Palma with luggage, children or friends, and your accommodation is still ahead. If you searched for a Palma Airport taxi, a pre-booked private transfer gives you a clear plan: your driver waits with your name on a sign, and your price is set before departure. Travel directly to your hotel, apartment or villa.

The baggage-belt-to-car part averages 7 minutes.

Palma Airport taxi prices and how the meter works

Taxi journeys in Mallorca use one island-wide meter tariff. The Balearic Government set it under Decree 20/2025 of 23 May. You can read the rates in the official Mallorca taxi tariff published by Palma City Council.

On weekdays from 07:00 to 21:00, the flag fall is €2.50, followed by a charge of €1.20 per kilometre. The other rate band covers weekdays from 21:00 to 07:00, as well as Saturdays, Sundays and official holidays. During that band, the flag fall is €2.85 and the distance charge is €1.35 per kilometre.

An airport or port pickup carries a €4.65 supplement. For a journey starting at the airport, the minimum fare is €16.95; that minimum includes the flag fall and airport supplement.

The minimum fare also covers 7 km.

For taxi journeys, the passenger supplement is €3 for 5 or 6 passengers, and €6 for 7 or 8. Waiting is charged at €19.40 per hour on weekdays by day, or €21.40 per hour at night, on weekends and on official holidays. A Christmas and New Year supplement of €4.75 also applies.

The meter reading can change with the distance travelled, road conditions, pauses, the applicable time band and supplements. These tariff details explain how a taxi fare is built, rather than giving a quote for a particular journey. A pre-booked private transfer gives you a fixed price per vehicle, confirmed before you fly.

Travelling with a group: taxi supplements and one private vehicle for up to 12

The taxi tariff adds €3 for 5 or 6 passengers, or €6 for 7 or 8. With a private transfer, your whole party can travel in one vehicle for up to 12 passengers per booking. Babies and children are included in the passenger count and each needs a seat. Baby seats, child seats and boosters are free; you may also bring your own seat.

What 89transfers is and how your Palma Airport pickup works

89transfers is a private-transfer operator serving Mallorca with Balearic licensing under REAT VDE No. 12363393; the business also appears on the Spanish Ministry of Transport register. At Palma Airport, your driver meets you in the arrivals hall (arrivals terminal), between columns 3 and 4, in front of the Paul Express coffee shop, holding a sign with your name. Your name on the sign identifies your driver at the agreed spot.

Your flight is tracked. One hour of waiting is included, counted from the actual landing. If the flight is delayed, the delay extends that included hour; the included wait can run up to 2 hours after the actual landing.

Your ride takes you to the address of your hotel, apartment or villa. The amount for the vehicle is set during booking, before you fly, and the confirmed amount is final.

The Pay Later arrangement lets you reserve without advance payment or card details. After meeting your driver, settle in cash using euros or with a bank card; online payment during the reservation is also available.

Transfers operate every day from 07:00 to 22:00, Mallorca time. For pickups from 20:00 to 22:00, any applicable night amount varies by destination and group size and is included in the fixed price shown in the booking form.
