When to Book a Rental Car in Murcia
Top Tips For Renting a Car in Murcia
- Travelers who want to see everything Murcia has to offer, from the Cathedral to the zoo and beyond, should consider renting a car for their visit to the University City to create their own schedule and not be dependent on public transport. The city has much to explore, but the sea is also only 40 minutes away by car and serves as a great day trip destination.
- Start your time in Murcia straight after your flight has landed and rent a car directly from Murcia-San Javier Airport. Follow the signs to the car rental desks and choose from well-known agencies such as Europcar. The airport is about 30 miles from the heart of the city, another reason why renting a car from there is a good idea, and it will take just over half an hour by car to get to the city.
- As Murcia has broad roads in most places, driving is usually very pleasant, but it is recommended to get a GPS system with the rental car. The road system in Murcia can be quite confusing, and as the street names are all in Spanish it may be hard to navigate. There are access roads called Rondas de Murcia, which enable drivers to access every side of the city and, although they are incredibly helpful once figured out, they can be confusing at first.
- In addition to the morning and evening rush hours, in Murcia there is also a midday rush hour, as siesta is held in many shops. Morning rush hour applies from 8 to 9:30 am before the midday traffic takes over between 12:30 and 2:30 pm.
