When collecting Ibiza Airport car rental, ensure that you have all the required documentation on hand. A valid drivers license will be required, which has been held by the renter for at least a year. Most of the car hire companies will accept licenses issued in the European Union, but may require an International Driving Permit for those visiting from other parts of the world. The primary renter, and all additional drivers must be at least 21 years of age, and should have a major credit card in order to pay for the rental. Additional drivers registered on the rental agreement will need to meet the same requirements as the primary renter. Car hire companies will charge a higher rental rate for drivers between the ages of 21 and 25, and will also not permit the rental of larger or specialty type vehicles to younger drivers.

Special equipment may be hired along with the rented car, such as child seats, satellite navigation systems and hand controls for disabled drivers. A child seat is essential for the safety of babies or young children, and is required by law in Spain. Children younger than twelve are also not allowed to sit in the front seat of the vehicle. A satellite navigation system is highly recommended for all drivers who are unfamiliar with the road networks found on Ibiza Island. The systems offered by the car hire companies mentioned are of very high quality, and come pre-programmed with points of interest, which can be very useful. At IBZ, hand controls for disabled drivers may be requested from the car rental companies. This device assists those with a lower limb deficiency, as it operates the brake and accelerator pedals of the vehicle. Hand controls should always be booked in advance, as they require a special type of automatic vehicle.

Another option for car renters in Ibiza is a one way hire, whereby the car can be collected from Ibiza Airport car hire company, but returned to a different rental location of the chosen car hire Ibiza. This is a most useful service for those who will not be returning to the airport. However, one way rentals may cost extra if the vehicle is returned to a different town or city.
