Murcia Airport is located on the northern shoreline of the Mar Menor, in the district of Santiago de la Ribera, Spain, and is approximately 17 miles from Murcia. The airport is also found in San Javier, and for this reason, it is often commonly known as the San Javier Airport. Around 1.3 million passengers pass through Murcia Airport each year, mainly on low-cost airline carriers, such as Easyjet, Air Berlin and Ryanair, and mostly during the summertime of Spain. Bus services from Murcia Airport are rather infrequent, therefore many passengers choose to hire their own vehicle, from the car rental companies at Murcia Airport such as Centauro Rent A Car. Centauro is one of the local car hire companies available, and also one of the leading Spanish car rental providers.
Centauro have their own rental offices at Murcia Airport, which are open during all hours of the day and later evening, seven days a week, and provide their customers with a wide range of vehicles to hire. Whether you are looking for a small or large form of transport, Centauro will provide the perfect car for a lovely holiday in the south-eastern region of Spain. With your own rented car, you will have the freedom to thoroughly explore areas such as the popular seaside towns of Cartagena, la Manga del Mar Menor, Lorca and Aguilas. Customers who do not intend on returning to Murcia Airport can arrange a one way hire from Centauro, and return their rented car to another rental location in Spain. A one way hire from Murcia Airport may cost a bit extra if the vehicle is returned to another town or city.
Centauro’s vehicles are divided into a number of car categories, for example, Economic, Intermediate, Automatic, Family, Minibus, People Carrier and Executive. The vehicles within these categories could use normal petrol or diesel, therefore customers should always confirm the type of fuel to be used for their rented car. Customers should also be happy with the general workings of the vehicle before leaving Murcia Airport, and know where to find the emergency / breakdown assistance numbers should they be required. At the start of the rental, there is usually a list made of all the existing damages/scratches on the vehicle. Customers are advised to check this report, and to ensure that everything has been noted, as damages not listed will become the renter’s responsibility once he/she returns the vehicle. Always try to return the rented car in the same condition as it was received, excluding acceptable wear and tear. A renter, who returns his/her car exceptionally dirty, may be required to pay for cleaning costs.
Vehicles in the Economic category offered by Centauro include the Ford Ka Titanium 1.2, Ford Fiesta Trend 1.4, Fiat Panda Grande Punto Active 1.4, Opel Corsa CMon and the Volkswagen Polo Advance 1.4. These are vehicles of a smaller size, but are still ideal for between three and five passengers. Their only drawback is that they do not offer very much room for luggage. The smaller cars in this category have only three doors, while the slightly larger ones have five doors. They all come with air conditioning, and generally very good rental rates. Economic cars are also very easy to drive, and are light on fuel. Intermediate cars offer a bit more interior space, and may be similar to the Ford Focus 1.6, Volkswagen Golf Advance 1.4 and VW Gold 16. Most Intermediate vehicles come with ABS brakes and CD players.
Automatic transmission vehicles are also offered by Centauro Murcia Airport to their customers, and these are ideal for families, as they have more room for luggage. The Volkswagen Passat 2.0 and Ford SMax Trend are two automatic vehicles, while the Family range includes the Ford Focus Familiar 1.6, Ford CMax Trend 1.6 and Citroen C4 Picasso. All these vehicles can seat up to five passengers, but if passengers are in need of an even larger vehicle from Centauro, the Mercedes Vito seating nine is available as a Minibus, and the Ford Galaxy and Mercedes Viano can accommodate up to seven passengers.
Passengers arriving at Murcia Airport can hire child seats or satellite navigation systems for their rented car, at a small additional cost per day of rental, and usually up until a maximum amount per car hire period. Although an additional expense, these items may be essential for safe and easy driving in Spain. From Centauro, hand controls for disabled drivers may also be available, and are usually free of charge. Individuals use hand controls with a lower limb deficiency, as they operate the brake and accelerator pedals of an automatic vehicle, but not the car’s lights, blinkers, windshield wipers or any other functions, such as cruise control. At Murcia Airport, hand controls should be booked in advance of your arrival at the airport.
Individuals in need of a rented car must be able to show a valid drivers license that has been issued in their country of residence for at least a year prior to the rental date, and be in possession of a major credit card for payment of the vehicle. Major credit cards usually accepted are American Express, Diners Club, Eurocard, MasterCard and Visa, but it is recommended to confirm all the finer details with Centauro. Further information is also available online, at Centauro’s website, www.centauro.net, and from this website, customers are able to reserve a vehicle as well.
