Palma Airport to Santa Ponsa: frequently asked questions
How much is a transfer from Palma Airport to Santa Ponsa?
A private transfer from Palma Airport (PMI) to Santa Ponsa starts from €94 per vehicle, not per person, for a standard car with up to 4 passengers and luggage. Larger vehicles for groups cost more and the exact price is shown before you book. You pay the driver on arrival, there are no airport or luggage supplements, and the price does not change at night or on Sundays, unlike a metered taxi.
How far is Santa Ponsa from Palma Airport and how long does the transfer take?
Santa Ponsa is 25 km from Palma Airport and the transfer usually takes 30-35 minutes, via Ma-1 highway through Calvià. Allow extra time on summer Saturdays between 10:00 and 14:00, the changeover peak, when Mallorca's motorways carry their heaviest traffic of the year.
Taxi or pre-booked transfer from Palma Airport to Santa Ponsa: what is the difference?
A taxi from the airport rank runs on the official meter (airport supplement, higher tariff at night and on holidays, extra for more than 4 passengers) and for one or two people on a daytime run it is often the cheaper option. A pre-booked transfer from €94 is a price you know before you fly, per vehicle, with the driver already waiting in arrivals holding your name, your flight tracked, the vehicle sized to your group and luggage, child seats on request and no queue at the rank.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Nothing changes for you. We track your flight number and adjust the pickup to the real landing time at no extra cost, so your driver is in the arrivals hall whenever you come through. You only pay when you arrive, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the transfer.
