Getting around Ibiza without a car
Renting a car in Ibiza in summer is expensive and parking is a nightmare. The good news: you can enjoy the island car-free by combining bus, taxi, Discobus and boats. Here’s how to plan it.

The bus network links the airport, Ibiza Town, San Antonio, Santa Eulària and many beaches in high season, with tickets around €2-4. It’s the cheapest way to get around, and in summer frequencies and routes to the coves are expanded. Check up-to-date timetables before heading out, as they change by season: off-season there are fewer services, especially to smaller beaches.

Taxis are handy for direct trips or at night; airport fares are regulated, so ask for the approximate price before getting in. For nightlife, the Discobus connects the big clubs (Pacha, Amnesia, Ushuaïa…) with Ibiza Town, San Antonio and Playa d’en Bossa in summer. And along the coast, boats link Ibiza with Formentera and some beaches with each other — sometimes faster and prettier than going by land.
A realistic car-free plan
The key is staying somewhere central and well connected (Ibiza Town or San Antonio) and combining: bus by day, Discobus at night and the occasional taxi for whatever else. Book taxis ahead at peak times and on big event days. If you want to know which bus reaches a specific beach, today’s taxi price or the Discobus timetable, just ask IbizaGPT and you’ll get it instantly.
