Where do I get a taxi from?

Catch a taxi at Murcia Airport to the city center 24/7 from the official stand located right outside the main terminal building.

Convenience

Murcia is a popular summer destination, so taking an airport taxi to your hotel can not only save you time, but you can also avoid the crowds and heat that come with using public transport. Moreover, there is plenty of room for luggage, making this a convenient choice for families with children. The downsides are having to carry your own luggage from baggage claim and waiting for an available cab outside. 

Useful Tips

Most taxis in Murcia don’t accept card payments so make sure to have some cash with you.
It’s common to come across a taxi driver who doesn’t speak English, so make sure to have your address written down.
Tipping the taxi driver isn’t expected but it’s customary to round up the final amount.
Even though only official taxis are allowed to operate airport transfers, be mindful of unlicensed drivers and only use taxis waiting in line at the designated taxi stand.

Getting from Murcia Airport to the city by bus

A more affordable alternative to a taxi is the bus. Managed by Interbus, the bus service operates between Murcia Airport and the Murcia Bus Station in the city center. The trip takes between 30 and 40 minutes, depending on the number of stops made along the way.

Interbus operates between 08:15 and 21:30 in the summer.

Where do I get the bus from?

The bus station at Murcia Airport is very easy to spot; it’s located right outside the main terminal building.

Convenience

The bus is a great budget-friendly option with a relatively short trip duration, ideal for anyone traveling light or not in a hurry. However, due to the long wait times in between services and even shorter service hours in the off-season, you could find yourself standing around if your flight schedule doesn’t match up to the bus timetable.

To avoid the summer crowds and wasting your precious vacation time, we suggest securing a direct and door-to-door ride with Welcome Pickups instead.
