CDW Insurance
The standard car rental deals include CDW insurance with an excess in the event of vehicle damage or theft. The rental companies offer additional zero excess insurance products which can be purchased when signing the rental contract.
Alternatively, customers may purchase the Third Party AXA insurance offered with the quote which will be cheaper than the high-tier products but require a security deposit with the rental company. Customers must pay in Spain for any damage then claim the cost back from AXA separately.
NOTE: It is worth checking if your credit card insurance covers car hire.

The companies we work with at Murcia require a valid credit card to be presented when the car is collected.
If you do not have a credit card it is possible to rent a car with some companies at Murcia including Goldcar and Firefly, but if you do not have a credit card you will have to purchase their Premium insurance products.
Fuel Stations near Murcia-Corvera Airport
There is no fuel station at Murcia International - the closest is the CEPSA garage on the A-30 just off Junction 161 (Pk 413.9, A-30, 30155 Murcia) which is ideal if you are approaching the airport from Murcia, Cartagena or one of the Mar Menor resorts (approaching from the Mar Menor there are several fuel stations on the RM-19). The CEPSA garage is 5-minute drive from the airport. If you are driving to the airport from the Camposol/Mazarron direction this is still probably the best option.

Accommodation Close to Murcia International
There is no rental accommodation within several kilometres of Murcia International, so for most people a rental car or taxi to Murcia (city) or the Mar Menor resorts are the easiest options.
On the north side of Murcia there are a several chain hotels including a Marriot, Ibis and Campanile which are a short bus or tram journey from the city centre. The Hotel Venta El Puerto is closer to the airport located a couple of km outside Corvera on the A-30 en route to Murcia city. However, most people will prefer to head directly to their resorts or accommodation as there isn't much to see apart from desert and citrus groves close to the airport.
If you want to stay close to the airport the Corvera Golf and Country Club is a large resort complex which is only a 10-minute drive from the airport. The resort is very quiet with many empty, unsold properties and strangely does not have a golf course! Private rental properties on the resort are available (via Airbnb, booking.com, etc.), and with full-time security and several pools, for some people may be a good choice for a quiet weekend away in the sun close to the airport.
Slightly further afield the La Torre Golf Resort and Spa offers 5-star accommodation or for a budget hotel Venta El Puerto Restaurant is less than 15 minutes’ drive from the airport.
