Is there a local roadside assistance number I should have when renting a car in Mallorca?

Locals rarely need to call for help on the roads around Palma or through the winding Serra de Tramuntana, but visitors should definitely be prepared. When you rent a car here, the rental company will provide an emergency number for roadside assistance, usually listed right in your rental agreement or on the paperwork handed over at pickup. This contact is essential if you face a flat tire on the Ma-10 passing through Valldemossa or if your fuel runs low near the secluded coves of Cala Mondrago.

Some companies also offer extra coverage packages that include services such as lockout help, tire changes, and towing—especially useful on less accessible mountain roads or near the northern beaches like Formentor. It’s wise to ask about these options before you set off, so you’re not caught off guard. Calling the rental’s assistance line connects you to a team familiar with their policies and local providers, which speeds up any needed aid.

If you belong to an automobile club or have roadside assistance through your own insurance, check whether this extends to rental cars in Spain. Coverage can vary, but having an additional safety net adds peace of mind when driving unfamiliar routes, from the rural lanes around Pollença to the urban streets of Palma. Wherever the road takes you on the island, keeping the roadside number handy ensures that a mishap won’t put a damper on your exploration.
