How to Find Your Car Hire Desk at Murcia Airport (RMU)

• Book through eCarBookers first: Your booking confirmation from eCarBookers locks in your price and your vehicle class before you arrive. You pay the balance at the desk on collection, and the terms confirmed at booking are the terms you receive. Always confirm your hire in advance to guarantee your price from the moment you collect the keys.
• Where the airport is: The Region of Murcia International Airport stands at Corvera, roughly halfway between Murcia and Cartagena and about 25 to 27 km south of Murcia. It has a single two-storey terminal, with arrivals, baggage reclaim and check-in on level 0 and security and the gates on level 1, so there is no choice of terminal to make on arrival.
• Finding the car hire area: One listing places two suppliers' desks opposite the arrivals exit. Other listings show suppliers using an airport meeting point bus to reach their cars, and some collection points near exit 161 of the A-30, beside a petrol station. Arrangements differ from one supplier to another.
• Where your desk is: The desk and any transfer depend on your supplier, so your booking voucher shows the exact meeting point for your hire. Check it before you travel and follow it on arrival. Do not assume a desk in the arrivals hall unless your voucher says so.
• Opening hours: Hours vary by supplier. Listings for other suppliers show desks open from about 06:30 to 08:00 until about 22:00 to 23:30, shorter hours for some, and many listings show no hours at all. Confirm the hours in your booking confirmation and choose a flight that lands inside them.
• What to bring: The main driver should carry a valid driving licence, a passport or photo identification, and a credit card in their own name with a limit high enough to cover the excess hold. Drivers with a licence issued outside the EU should also carry an international driving permit where required.

Pick-Up, Drop-Off, and Refuelling at Murcia Airport (RMU)

• Returning the car: Return the car at the point named on your booking voucher. Suppliers that use a meeting point or a nearby lot give the return address in the booking confirmation, so allow extra time for the transfer back to the terminal, especially in July and August.
• Out-of-hours returns: A key drop box for out-of-hours returns has not been confirmed for your supplier. Ask at collection what arrangement applies if your flight falls outside the desk hours, and check your booking confirmation for any out-of-hours fee.
• Nearest petrol station: A Repsol station is listed in Corvera and is open 06:00 to 22:00 every day, so it is not a 24-hour station. One listing also mentions a Cepsa station near exit 161 of the A-30. Check the hours before an early or late flight and refuel before you return the car.
• Fuel policy: Confirm the fuel type shown on your booking confirmation before you refuel, and ask at collection which fuel policy applies to your hire, so that you return the car as the supplier expects.
• Parking at the airport: The airport has more than 1,000 parking spaces, bookable in advance, and one guide mentions a free shuttle bus from the car park to the terminal.
• Before you drive away: Photograph the vehicle thoroughly at collection and again at return, including all four sides, the wheels, the windscreen and the interior. Dated photographs give you a clear record of the condition you received.

Top Car Hire Agencies at Murcia Airport (RMU)

Car hire at Murcia Airport (RMU) is available through Green Motion.

Every booking through eCarBookers shows the excess amount and full price before you confirm, and the balance is paid on arrival at the desk.

Getting from Murcia Airport (RMU) to Key Destinations

• Murcia — about 25 to 26 km to the north by the A-30, in roughly 21 to 25 minutes. The RM-19 gives a direct route from the airport. Park in one of the free or underground car parks on the edge of the centre rather than looking for street parking.
• Cartagena — about 25 to 30 km to the south-east, in roughly 25 to 45 minutes depending on the source. The Roman Theatre and the harbour make it the easiest first drive, and a car park near the port is easier than street parking.
• La Manga and the Mar Menor — about 47 to 60 km to the east, in roughly 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the resort and the source. The Mar Menor has calm, shallow water that suits families.
• Torrevieja — about 61 km to the north-east on one guide, in roughly 45 minutes to 1 hour. The town lies in Alicante province, across the regional border.
• Lorca — about 70 km to the south-west on one guide, in roughly 50 minutes. The castle above the town, the Fortaleza del Sol, gives a view over the valley.

How Payment Works for Car Hire at Murcia Airport (RMU)

Payment is made in two steps. A rental prepayment confirms your booking online, with Instant Confirmation from the supplier. You then pay the balance directly to the supplier on arrival, when you collect the car.

The price and vehicle class shown at booking are the terms you receive at the desk, and cancellation is free. The supplier may place an excess hold on the main driver's credit card at collection, so check that the card in the driver's name has enough available limit.
