Murcia Airport is a combined military airbase and civilian passenger airport, and has the official code of MJV. It is also known as the San Javier Airport, due to its location in this area. The airport is located approximately 17 miles to the south of Murcia, and along the northern shoreline of the Mar Menor, in the district of Santiago de la Ribera. Spain is always a very popular holiday destination in the summer, therefore its airports, including Murcia Airport, are generally much busier during this time. However, in total, Murcia Airport receives around 1.3 million passengers per year, and is therefore one of Spain’s smaller airports. The best way to explore this country is by rented car, from a car hire company at Murcia Airport, such as National. National offers high quality vehicles from the airport, and is a very popular car rental company in many parts of the world.
National is one of the car hire companies located very nearby to the airport terminal, and not actually within the passenger building of the airport. Companies that are located further from an airport usually provide a free shuttle bus service that transports passengers to and from their rental offices. In San Javier, National is located at Avda.barolome Panos Perez 26. National is a car hire company with over fifty years of experience in the industry, and is perhaps more well known for providing for the rental needs of frequent airport business travellers, as they helped to pioneer the corporate-account business in the 1970’s, and also introduced the first comprehensive frequent-renter program, by the name of Emerald Club. However, National is also a great choice for those on vacation, and provides many vehicles that can be enjoyed by families travelling for long or short distances.
The easiest way to ensure that your ideal car is ready and waiting for your arrival at Murcia airport is online, from National’s website at www.nationalcar.com. National offers their customers a comprehensive website, from where the booking process is very simple, and customers can also view all the vehicle categories available at this rental location. The vehicles are divided into categories, and are booked and priced accordingly; therefore customers will not reserve a vehicle by its specific make and model. However, by using the indicated passenger and luggage capacities shown on National’s website, it is easy to choose a category which contains the right vehicles for your business or holiday rental.
Mini and Economy vehicles are the smallest models available from National, and are the vehicles that come with the best rental rates. They seat up to four passengers, and may be similar to the Fiat Seicento 1.1 and Citroen C2 1.1. Although small car models, they do offer power steering and air bags, and have a manual transmission. Economy vehicles are also very light on fuel, and will therefore help their drivers to save money. Other popular vehicle models are found in the Compact category, such as the Citroen Berlingo 1.8 and Citroen C4 1.6. The Citroen C4 offers an even wider range of features, such as ABS brakes, air conditioning and an automatic transmission.
Passengers who require a larger vehicle from Murcia Airport may consider the categories of Intermediate, Intermediate Wagon and Standard, with vehicles similar to the Citroen C5 1.6, Citroen C4 Picasso 1.6 and Citroen C5 2.0. The Citroen Picasso 1.6 is a station wagon, with room for up to five luggage items, and space for five passengers as well. Vehicles in the Standard and Intermediate Wagon categories have an automatic transmission. Alternative categories offered by National include Premium, Van and SUV. Premium vehicles are generally more elegant vehicles ideal for business renters, and Vans are larger sized vehicles with a passenger capacity of seven or nine. Examples of larger vans are the Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 1.8 and the Opel Vivaro 1.6. For customers who enjoy driving an SUV, there are vehicles similar to the Jeep 4x4 1.8.
At Murcia Airport, customers of National may also hire optional equipment for their vehicle, such as car seats for babies or young children, and satellite navigation systems. Hand controls for disabled drivers may also be available, but should be reserved in advance of your flight to Murcia Airport. Hand controls assist drivers with a lower limb deficiency, as they operate the brake and accelerator pedals of the vehicle. A one way hire at Murcia Airport may cost a bit extra, but is the ideal option for customers who will not be driving back to the airport, as the rental car can be returned to another National location in Spain. One way hires may or may not be permitted to cross the borders of Spain. Although equipment requested for your rental car is an additional expense, hand controls are available free of charge.
The primary renters of vehicles in Spain are required to be at least 21 to 23 years of age, and to have held their drivers license in their country of residence for a minimum period of one year prior to the rental date. A major credit card is needed for payment of the vehicle, and drivers should always ensure that their car is adequately insured. Insurance can be purchased when making a vehicle reservation, and from National’s website as well. Customers can contact National directly, at Murcia Airport, for all further details required. This branch of National is open from 09:00 to 23:30, Monday to Sunday.
