Everything was perfect, fast and friendly. Only that they don't explain very well where the car is to pick it up but being a very small airport, asking there was no problem.

The car offer is good and so are the prices. What I didn't like is that it seems that the car pick up is inside the station and when you have already hired it they tell you that you have to pick it up outside in a nearby street.

What to see with my rental car in Cartagena?
Cartagena is a city with more than two thousand years of history, a strategic natural port and an archaeological legacy that leaves no visitor indifferent. With your rental car in Cartagena, you will be able to move around freely and take advantage of every corner without depending on timetables or established routes.
Start your tour in the historic centre of Cartagena, where you will find the Old Cathedral of Santa María la Mayor. Just a few steps away is the Roman Theatre, one of the most important in Spain, and the Sea Wall. Also worth a visit is the Casa Fortuna, a perfectly preserved ancient Roman domus.
In addition to its heritage, Cartagena stands out for its varied Mediterranean gastronomy, with Roman, Phoenician and Arab influences. Don't leave Cartagena in your hire car without trying the michirones cartageneros, salted fish or the typical "Asian" coffee, a local drink made from coffee, condensed milk, liqueur and cinnamon, similar to the Canarian "barraquito".
