Goldcar offers low-cost car hire in Murcia with direct access from the airport. Booking in advance gives you a better choice of vehicles and helps reduce delays at pick-up. Whether you're here for a few days or staying longer, having your own car makes local travel simple and direct.
You can select from a wide range of vehicles depending on the size of your group, the kind of routes you're planning, or how much luggage you’re carrying. From small cars for town driving to estates and SUVs for longer journeys, there’s a model for every trip. Automatic cars are available, as well as hybrid and electric options in selected locations.
When you book online, charges are shown clearly, so you know what to expect before you arrive. Goldcar’s booking process is designed to be fast and straightforward. Just bring a valid driving licence, your confirmation details, and a payment card in the lead driver’s name.
Where to collect your car at Murcia
Goldcar’s desk is located inside the Región de Murcia International Airport terminal (Murcia–Corvera). Once you land and collect your luggage, head towards the car hire area, where staff will confirm your booking and hand over the keys.
The cars are parked close to the terminal, so there’s no need for a shuttle bus. From there, you drive straight out and begin your journey. When it’s time to return the vehicle, signs around the airport direct you back to the car hire return zone. Drop off is quick, and the terminal is only a short walk from the parking bays.
If you're already in the city or arriving by train, some Goldcar bookings can also be arranged from the centre of Murcia. Always check the location selected during booking so you know exactly where to go for pick-up.
One-way rentals are possible with prior arrangement, although this may involve an additional charge depending on where the vehicle is returned.
Discover Murcia and nearby destinations by car
A car gives you the freedom to leave the city behind and explore the surrounding region at your own pace. Local public transport only covers certain areas, which means many popular spots are only practical to reach by road.
In Murcia itself, you’ll find the cathedral, the Episcopal Palace, the Salzillo Museum, and a range of outdoor cafés and public squares. Roads in the city are clearly signed, though parking is limited in some districts. Look for underground car parks or marked zones for paid parking.
With a car, you can also visit places like:
Cartagena – A historic city with Roman remains and a large harbour. Well connected by main roads and parking is available near the old town.
La Manga – A narrow stretch of land between the Mediterranean Sea and the Mar Menor lagoon. Known for beaches and warm swimming waters.
Sierra Espuña – A national park inland from the coast with forest drives, walking routes and picnic areas. Roads are well maintained but can be steep in places.
Lorca – A hilltop town with a large castle and preserved architecture. Easily reached in just over an hour.
Most roads in the Murcia region are in good condition. Fuel stations are frequent along A-roads and motorways, and most accept credit and debit cards. Tolls are rare in this area, though you may come across them if you travel further north or west.
