Car hire at Murcia airport
Land in Murcia and have your car ready to head straight for the Costa Cálida.
Región de Murcia International Airport (RMU) is located in Corvera, about 25 km from the capital — a distance that makes hire cars the most practical way to start your trip without relying on transfers or waiting around. From here you have easy access to the Region of Murcia and, above all, the Costa Cálida: Cartagena, La Manga del Mar Menor and the rest of the coastal spots, which are fairly spread out from one another.
At Gavendo we've worked as rental intermediaries since 1982, with negotiated rates and support in four languages, so collecting your car at Murcia airport is quick and hassle-free. Book ahead, land, and head straight to the collection point — we make sure everything is ready before you even arrive.

Región de Murcia International Airport is a modern, manageable-sized facility, so finding the collection point is straightforward right after passing through arrivals. Rental company desks are usually in the arrivals area or close to the outdoor car park, depending on the company. At Gavendo we tell you in advance, right on your booking voucher, the exact meeting point so you don't waste time searching around after landing.
How the process works on arrival
As soon as you collect your case, the next step is to head to the collection point stated on your booking. There, an agent checks your documents, explains the vehicle's condition and hands over the keys. With Gavendo the process is smooth because your booking is already confirmed with negotiated rates agreed in advance — no last-minute surprises at the desk.
Why it's worth booking before arriving in Murcia
Booking your hire car at Murcia airport in advance has two clear advantages: you secure the vehicle you need (availability at the airport itself can be limited in high season) and you get better prices than hiring on the spot. As intermediaries since 1982, we compare negotiated rates across different companies to bring you the best option without you having to do it yourself.
From the airport to the Costa Cálida
The airport is in Corvera, about 25 km from the city of Murcia — a distance that makes having your own car right from the start well worth it. From here you have direct access to Cartagena, La Manga del Mar Menor and the whole Costa Cálida, destinations that are much harder to connect between by public transport without a vehicle.
Returning the car and one-way hire
You can return the vehicle at Murcia airport itself, following the instructions at the desk or collection point, depending on the assigned company. If your trip isn't a round loop, you can also ask us about collecting the car in Murcia and returning it elsewhere in the Region, or even in another province, subject to availability and a possible surcharge for the vehicle transfer.
What's included with your car from Gavendo
Our negotiated rates clearly include basic insurance, mileage and airport fees, so you know exactly what you're paying from the moment you book. Our team also offers support in four languages, so whether you're travelling as a group or arriving from abroad, you can sort out any query before, during and after collection at Murcia airport.
- Book before you fly — Booking in advance means no queues and secures the car model you need, especially in high season.
- Have your documents to hand — Driving licence, ID or passport, and the card in the main driver's name — ready to speed up handover at the desk.
- Confirm your flight time — If you're landing outside normal hours, let us know when booking so we can ensure the collection point is staffed on arrival.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I collect the car at Murcia Airport (RMU)?
The collection point is at the Corvera terminal itself, either in the arrivals area or the adjoining car park depending on the assigned company. Your Gavendo voucher tells you exactly where to go.
Can I return the car in a city other than Murcia?
Yes, a one-way return is possible, subject to availability and a possible surcharge depending on distance. Ask us when booking to confirm the exact conditions.
Is the hire desk open 24 hours?
Opening hours depend on the company and the flights operating that day. If you're arriving at an unusual time, we recommend confirming this when booking to make sure staff are available.
Do I need a car if I'm staying in Cartagena or La Manga?
Yes, it's highly recommended. The airport is about 25 km from Murcia city, and from there the Costa Cálida (Cartagena, La Manga, Mar Menor) is best explored with your own vehicle, as public transport between these areas is limited.
What do I need to collect the car at the airport?
You'll need a driving licence, a credit card in the main driver's name, and your ID or passport. With Gavendo, bringing your booking voucher — printed or on your phone — also speeds things up.
