Cars on Their Roofs near Valldemossa: A Wake-Up Call for Greater Safety on Mountain Curves

Answer

What are the risks of driving a rental car in the Tramuntana mountains?

A rental car can feel different from your own vehicle, and that matters on the winding roads of the Tramuntana. Drivers may not know the car’s handling, braking feel, or tyre condition, which can become important on tight bends. It helps to take a little time before leaving the rental desk to understand the car and ask about local driving conditions.
