Alicante airport is known as the gateway to the Costa Blanca and as a result attracts most of the visitors to the area. However in recent years Murcia's San Javier airport has attracted a growing number of low cost carriers from the UK leading more and more visitors to hire a car when they arrive and explore the wealth of attractions that the local area has to offer.

San Javier airport is about a 20 minute drive from Murcia itself so if you plan on staying near the excellent beaches and attractions that the town has to offer, car hire is a good idea. The wider Costa Blanca area is one rich in beautiful beaches, vibrant cities and bustling resorts. Car hire allows you to travel between these areas at your own pace and enjoy the incredible sites. Those looking for an action packed time should drive to the coastal resort of Torrevieja with its lively bars and long beaches. Drive further north along the AP7 motorway to reach Benidorm with its family friendly theme park, Terra Mitica.
