Unless you have plenty of luggage or many people to fit in a car, a compact car is a good decision for various reasons. A smaller car will fit into more parking spaces, which can be hard to find in the city. Additionally, navigating through the roads is also much easier with a compact car, plus it saves on petrol costs. As stick shifts are commonly used in Spain, renting an automatic may cost a little more.

In residential areas, the highest speed allowed is 50 km/h (31 mph), though it may be lower around schools or pedestrian areas. Rural two-lane roads permit up to 100 km/h (62 mph), and on freeways drivers can speed up to 120 km/h (74 mph). Speed limit signs are on the right-hand side and must be adhered to at all times.

Prepare to pay around €1.21 per liter ($1.37, or $5.50 per gallon) when renting a car for your time in Murcia. Petrolstations are dotted around the city, as well as alongside freeways and usually accept card and cash. Keep in mind that most European countries require you to enter a 4-digit pin when paying with card to verify the transfer.

For a day in Murcia, choose the parking garage next to town hall to avoid long searches for the few on-street parking spaces. On-street parking is marked with a blue line and costs around €0.50 ($0.60). Parking lots are also an option and include the New Capital or Parking Europa.
