Parking your rental car in Murcia

Parking your rental car in Murcia can be a problem depending on the area where you want to leave your vehicle. Our recommendation is to park your car in a public or private parking lot. This way you will save time, turns and problems.

Many streets here are blue zone. That is to say, you have to pay to leave your car and you must renew the ticket every certain time (normally every two hours). This can be a big hassle if you want to visit the city, as you won't be able to leave your car for long.

However, with patience, you may be able to find free parking on the street. The area around the train station or the Malecon usually has parking available. Anyway, before starting your trip, take a look at the city map to avoid wasting too much time.
