Answer

Can a rental car in Mallorca be withheld if there is a payment dispute?

A rental company in Mallorca can take steps to recover a vehicle if it is not returned as agreed, especially when a contract has been breached. In practice, companies usually contact the renter first and may then involve the police if the car is kept without permission. The exact response depends on the contract and the situation, but an unresolved dispute should never be ignored.
