Having just bought our property in PP our next move is to buy a car.

A lot of the information on this thread is from a few years ago, so can I ask those of you who may have experience the following:-

Is Park and Fly a better option than the more expensive contract at the main airport car park?

If your contract is at the airport car park, are there ever times when the thing is full and there’s nowhere to park?

I did consider renting a car from Park and Fly in June, as I thought it might indicate how reputable they are.

Finally (sorry to drone on and on!), does anyone have any hot recommendations about car purchases? Used car values seem very high and with stellar mileage’s, so I’m thinking of buying new at the cheaper end.

Help! (and thank you)

Disorderly,
We bought a new Ford Focus from the Ford Dealer in Manacor, the salesman was Alex Mortorell Perello he speaks perfect english, I thought we got a good deal and he also arranged the insurance, it all went very smoothly.
Parking, Main car Park v Park & Fly, personally I park in the main car park as I can walk out of the terminal straight to my car and I'm on my way to PP
To be fair it would not take long to get to Park & Fly but definitely easier from the main car park. I have never had any problems parking even in the peak months.

Have a look at the 'outlet' at Ford Inca.
Ex demos and ex rentals/lease cars.
Good luck

Does anyone know whether its cheaper to leave the car in the Official Aena Long-Stay Car Park, rather than in the multi-story?
I dont mind a short walk, if it saves a good amount of money

ive looked on the Aena website, but cant any prcing

Thanks

Hi

Do you leave your car keys with Park'n'Fly?

Thanks

Default Even my car

I noticed that no one replied to bhanmer’s post last May, but I’d be very interested to know if Park and Fly retain car keys, and more about where cars are actually stored. How easy is it for my relatives to use my car left at Park and Fly?

I’m getting close to deciding to buy a car. We have a few family members using our apartment and overall I think buying will be cheaper than renting.

Any advice vehicle owning Forum members can give (buying/servicing/taxing/ITV/parking) would be very much appreciated.

Thanks folks.

Duncan

Buy Japanese for reliability, except Nissan who are Renault in disguise.

I've parked the idea for now. We've just had 2 weeks (in the old town) and I did rent a Vanrell Berlingo for 5 days but I only did a couple of runs to the garden centre and down to Palma for a few more pieces of furniture but now the house is getting filled and we get to know more people in town we really dont need one. We do all our food shopping at the small shops or the Eroski 5mins walk away..

We took the bus to the port a few times (no arguments about who's the designated driver) and also over to Lluc and we walked back.

I do still fancy a Fiat 500 Abarth but if I had to buy anything I'd think about a Ford or Skoda as there are dealers in town (I'm very near the Renault garage too and as much as I like the Clio and Captur I cant bring myself to own one...)

Parking in the airport multistorey was €995 for 12 months, when we renewed it last April. Not sure if it has increased this year.
This covers 30 entries in the year, and parking on any floor except level 4.

If you want unlimited entries and parking on level 4 it is about an extra €300 for 12 months.

There are shorter contract available too.
