Good for tech-lovers!
Fuss free although you have to be a bit “tech-ey” to get the maximum from their car hire collection and drop off options.
We hired a car for ten days, at a reasonable rate - but it’s peace of mind - you don’t have any extra insurance costs to pay at all, no added deposits (apart from a refundable fuel loading of 100€). Car was upgraded FOC to Group C, and was extremely economical.
RIOG appear to be the major transport company in Mallorca and have offices in the main towns, which also gives more peace of mind.
We took the option of being collected at PMI although we found it difficult to locate our transport van at first (our fault; we didn’t read the directions carefully enough - they wait just outside the terminal to the right as you exit NOT in the car park!) but caught him just as he was about to depart.
Dropping off, we chose the drop-off at airport option, however, finding a space can be difficult plus we had no connectivity on our device to do the electronic shut down. A quick call to the offices resulted in a very helpful lady sending a WhatsApp with instructions plus she stayed on the line whilst we did it all. There’s a fair walk into the terminal from there and quite frankly, next time, I think we will just go to the off airport site and drop the car off and have their transport bring us to Departures.
Their staff are very helpful and this gives you confidence. The car was very good. I would just suggest that having a couple of complimentary water bottles (or a refillable option at the compound) would be a nice touch on arrival inside the car as sometimes you can be pretty dehydrated by the time you’ve got to the car after all the travelling!
On our experience, we would definitely recommend RIOG due to the lack of stress about insurance/excess payments, etc etc and good quality car, island-wide office coverage as well and will be using them again.
