Your hire car in San Jaime, ready in minutes
Hiring a car in San Jaime Mediterráneo with Autos Valls gives you the freedom to explore Menorca from day one — no taxis, no bus timetables, no waiting. Our office is located inside the San Jaime Shopping Centre, directly opposite the Sant Jaume Supermarket: easy to find and just a short walk from your villa or apartment.
We are a Menorcan company with over 40 years of experience and a fleet of more than 600 vehicles. We know every road, every cove, and every car park in the south of the island. That local knowledge makes all the difference when you choose your car.
Why choose car hire in San Jaime?
Just a short walk from your villa: Staying at Torre Solí, Valentín Hotels or San Jaime Mediterráneo? Our office at CC San Jaime is just a quick stroll away.
No queues, no waiting: Collect your car directly from our local office — none of the arrival hall crowds you get at the airport.
Perfect for families: A fleet tailored to southern Menorca, from smart city cars for cove hopping to large family minivans for shopping runs and beach kit.
Fixed price from day one: No excess, no deposit block, no surprises at pick-up. The price you see when you book is the price you pay.
What to visit from San Jaime with your hire car
San Jaime Mediterráneo is far more than a place to relax: it is the ideal base for discovering the most authentic side of Menorca. With your hire car from San Jaime, you are just five minutes from the Early Christian Basilica — a remarkable archaeological site sitting right on the water's edge that is unmissable for any history lover.
A short drive along roads lined with the island's characteristic dry-stone walls (paret seca) brings you to Alaior. This inland town is celebrated for its artisan traditions and local cuisine; strolling through its historic centre and picking up an authentic Menorcan cheese is the kind of experience that simply is not possible by public transport.
For families seeking adventure, the Talayotic settlement of Torre d'en Galmés is less than 10 minutes away — one of the most significant prehistoric sites in the Balearic Islands. To reach it, and the most unspoilt coves along the southern coast, choose the model that best suits your group from our fleet.
Which car should I choose for Menorca from San Jaime?
Not every holiday group is the same. Here is our guide to finding the right car for you:
Couple or solo traveller: A compact such as the Fiat 500 or Fiat Panda is perfect for getting around the island effortlessly. Minimum age 21 with a full licence held for at least 3 years.
Family staying in a villa: We recommend a SUV or mid-size estate (KIA Stonic, Citroen C3 Picasso). Plenty of boot space for luggage, child seats and beach kit without sacrificing comfort. Minimum age 23–24 depending on category.
Large group or extended family: 7 or 9-seat minivan (Nissan NV200, Toyota Proace). Ideal for groups sharing a large villa together. Minimum age 25 with a full licence held for at least 3 years.
Rural roads and coves: All our vehicles are suited to Menorca's paved roads. Please note that no insurance policy covers damage to underbody, tyres or wheels caused by driving on untarmac tracks or onto beaches.

Why book at the Autos Valls San Jaime office
Our San Jaime Shopping Centre office is the most convenient option if you are staying in the south of Menorca. You are just a few minutes' walk from Valentín Hotels, Hotel Jardín de Menorca, or the private villas of Torre Solí — no taxi and no transfer required before your holiday even begins.
Unlike the large national chains, at this office you receive face-to-face assistance from the moment you arrive. We share practical local knowledge: which roads to take, which coves have the best parking spots, and where a compact car actually manoeuvres better than an SUV. That local expertise is what sets us apart when you are choosing your vehicle.
Remember, you can pick up your car here and return it to any of our 15 offices across Menorca, including the airport. Request more information.

How to get to Sant Jaime
Five drives from San Jaime you cannot miss — Menorca village by village
Having a car opens up places that public transport simply cannot reach. These are our favourite recommendations within 15 minutes of the office:
Alaior (10 min): Over 700 years of history — Menorca's artisan capital and home of the island's protected-designation-of-origin cheese.
Ciutadella: The stately city — grand aristocratic palaces around the Plaça des Born, a city that has kept its traditional character intact.
Es Castell: The British legacy — the town where the island's period of British rule left its most visible mark.
Es Mercadal: The heart of Menorca — a picturesque village where whitewashed walls catch the eye at every turn.
Fornells: A sailor's dream — a small village of white walls and narrow lanes stretching down to a sheltered harbour.
