Compare Mojacar car hire

Mojácar is a kaleidoscope of colour – think golden beaches, blue Mediterranean waters and a gleaming whitewashed village adorned in brilliant pink flowers.

You could easily spend a whole holiday in this Andalusian beauty, but rent a car in Mojácar and you’re in the perfect spot to explore Almeria’s rugged coastline. Visit pristine beaches, play out classic western scenes with the family at Oasys Mini Hollywood in the Tabernas Desert or tee off at one of the nearby golf courses with coastal views.

When you need to cool off, AquaVera waterpark is just a 20-minute drive up the coast.

Whether you’re looking to add a hire car to your package holiday for your entire trip or you need it for a specific excursion you have in mind, there are a number of international and local rental companies to choose from in and near Mojácar. They include:

If you’re keen on exploring the desert or the mountains, potter in and around Granada’s Alhambra fortress or beach hop along the coast, a Mojácar car rental puts everything within reach, on mostly well-maintained roads with clear signposting.

If you’re out and about, be mindful that some smaller roads here can turn into narrow dirt tracks, which you may want to avoid as your hire car may not be insured (check when you pick up your rental). If you’re planning on driving the Sierra Cabrera Mountain roads for their spectacular coastal vistas, be prepared for sweeping bends and steep drops.

As this is Spain, you’ll be driving on the right side of the road. Speed limits, which are in kilometres per hour, are 120km/h (approximately 75 mph) on motorways, 90-100km/h (approximately 56-62 mph) on main roads, and between 20-50km/h (approximately 12-31 mph) in built-up areas.

Be aware of toll motorways in Spain. Check the signs to spot them – if it has an AP prefix on it, it’s a toll motorway. Simply take a ticket when you enter and pay by cash or card when you exit.
