Imagine stepping off the plane into a world where vast lemon groves stretch towards rugged, orange-tinted mountains. This corner of Spain feels like a well-kept secret, offering peaceful Mediterranean coves and salty lagoons that feel miles away from the busy tourist trails. Most travellers arrive eager to taste the freshest vegetables in Europe and explore ancient cities where time seems to have slowed down.

Public transport follows fixed routes, but having your own vehicle gives you access to places most visitors never reach. Car hire in Murcia makes the difference between simply visiting attractions and truly experiencing the region, allowing you to:

  • Reach the secluded, wild coves of Calblanque, where buses simply do not go
  • Head inland to find authentic, family-run ventisqueros serving the best roast lamb in the mountains
  • Easily transport your towels and gear to the famous salt flats of San Pedro del Pinatar for a natural spa day.

Insurance upgrades (CDW, Full Cover, LDW), cash payment, no deposit, child and booster seats, free cancellation, no credit cards and other extra features are available to reserve at any time. Book now.

Hiring a car in Murcia: what documents do I need?

  1. Credit card
  2. Driving licence
  3. Passport.

You may also find it useful to have the reservation voucher sent to your email address after your booking is confirmed.

Traffic Rules

Traffic Rules

Driving here is generally relaxed, but local authorities are very strict about maintaining smooth and safe traffic flow. When hiring a car in Murcia, keep the following points in mind to ensure your holiday remains fine-free:

  1. Drive on the right-hand side of the road.
  2. Adhere to the strict alcohol limit, which has been lowered to 0.2 g/l (or 0.1 mg/l on a breathalyser) for all drivers.
  3. Observe the 30 km/h speed limit on most single-lane urban streets.
  4. Check that your vehicle is equipped with the V16 emergency light, as this new connected beacon will replace traditional warning triangles on motorways from 2026.
  5. Avoid driving into “Low Emission Zones” (ZBE) in the city centre or in Cartagena unless your vehicle has the correct environmental sticker on the windscreen.
Parking

Parking

Look for green or blue zones in areas such as the city centre or Cartagena, where you will need to purchase a ticket from the parking meter for approximately €1.50 per hour.

Free white bays are the holy grail for travellers; if there is no colour on the kerb, you can usually park there free of charge and without time limits.

Petrol Stations

Petrol Stations

Look for “unmanned” fuel stations such as Plenoil or Ballenoil, which are often located on industrial estates and offer the lowest prices in the province.

Major chains like Repsol or Cepsa are ideal for a quick coffee and snack, although you will pay a small premium for the convenience.

Toll Roads

Toll Roads

Have your payment card ready at automatic toll gates, as they are the fastest way to tap and continue your journey.

The AP-7 coastal route occasionally requires a small fee — usually between €3 and €5 — to bypass slower city traffic during busy periods.
