Hi

We have always flown into Almeria airport and are very familiar with arrivals, car hire offices, etc.  Now we will have to use Murcia for the first time as we cant get flights from Stansted to almeria at the moment.  Is Murcia airport larger than Almeria and where are all the car hire desks located.  It is not practical for me to get a shuttle bus to pick up car so are there some companys to avoid?  I have had a very good car hire quote from doyouspain but i am a bit concerned that it may mean getting a shuttle bus to pick up car which is not possible for us.  Also directions to Thalassa from Murcia, anybody please?

thanks Deb and Richard

Murcia is much smaller than Almeria.

The car hire desks are inside the arrivals area similar to Almeria & from memeory, I don't think we had to get a shutlle bus.

I can email you the directions when I get home this eveneing.

Regards

Noreen

Murcia is actually smaller than Almeria airport, and there is no need for a shuttle bus as you just have to walk out the door and up to the right to collect your car.

I will leave the directions up to Noreen.

Gold car used to shuttle you to their base about a mile from the airport ,but they now have a desk inside the terminal.

There are some operators who have desks in the baggage collection area and others outside in the terminal and others who operate from vans in the main carpark.

Tanks full and returned empty,which is a rip off ,because they charge large amounts for a full tank of full (50 euros for a KA),and then it is difficult to be safe and return empty ,so usually leave a quarter in.Win Win for them.

Hi Deb and Richard

Rather than hide the directions in a pm ,thought this might help other owners or renters driving from Murcia airport

i have sent this out a few times and people have managed to find the area with few if any problems

Hopefully the below will get you from the airport to the complex 
after you leave the airport
go straight on at the 1st roundabout
at the 2nd go straight on this will take you under the main road , it is sign posted  AP7 cartagina
here you will see you can only go left at the 3rd roundabout
up the sliproad on to the AP7 
Keep on the AP7 for around 10 to 15 min and you will see the blue road sign for  Vera junction 800
come off here junction 800 keep in the left hand lane on the slip road
after around 15 min you will come to  the toll take your ticket and keep on that road untill you pay at vera
around 1 hours driving
After you come to the toll booth you will see the sign for vera  and antas
at the round about take the sign to vera about half a mile you come to a T junction go left here this takes you to the rounabout by the bull ring in vera
go left here past intermarch supermarket
keep on that road ,,past the vera hotel and repsol garage
you will then see the mercadona  supermarket on your left go left at the junction as if you are going to the supermarket
go past the supermarket to the roundabout go right here follow road for around 2 miles you will go over 2 roundabouts at the 3rd you are here
Please ring me on my mob once you get in the area or anytime and if need i can talk you in
 
Not sure what time you get in ,if you need any water ,milk etc let me know and we will put it in the apartment for you
take care and hope to see you soon
dave

Many thanks for all your replys.  I have now booked my car with do you spain and the voucher says collect car from Auriga in Airport Arrivals Hall, so good news there.  Also, i am happy cos it was 30euros cheaper than when i last looked about three weeks ago.

Thanks for the directions received by email and on this thread, i have no excuse if i get lost now.  We will be going out to Thalassa at the end of Feb for just over three weeks so look forward to seeing some of you there.

Dave, I will email you a small shopping list nearer the time, many thanks.

Deb and Richard
