Answer

Is a rental car necessary to explore Mallorca, or can you get around by public transport?

A car offers flexibility to reach remote coves and rural villages, but Mallorca also has a reliable network of buses and a usable rail link around Palma. If you’ll stay mostly in towns and along the coast, public transport can work; otherwise a rental helps you see more of the island.
