Toyota Camry 2020

Great rental experience! The car was very clean, drove incredibly smoothly, and the gas tank was full when I picked it up. Everything was ready to go, and the entire rental process was quick and simple. I really appreciated how easy and hassle-free the experience was. I would definitely rent from them again!

Promenade Temecula

Use what you save when you find a car rental deal to shop at the Promenade Temecula in neighboring Temecula — a shopping center with over 160 diverse stores, ranging from J.C. Penney to Dick's. At the end of a busy shopping day, catch a flick at the Edwards Cinema or stop at the bowling alley or arcade to burn off some steam with the kids before heading back to your hotel for the night.

Cole Canyon Natural Park

Bring your walking legs, and grab your rental car to reach the parking lot of this local favorite. You'll be able to hike through the unspoiled wilderness and possibly catch a glimpse of the native wildlife, such as deer or rabbits.

Town Square

Located adjacent to the town's city hall, Town Square is a green space, complete with landmarks like the Veterans' Memorial. This tall granite obelisk features depictions of men who served during World War II and the Korean War. This park also has an outdoor amphitheater where you can enjoy festivals, concerts, and other community gatherings.

Top tips for renting a car in Murrieta


Anywhere you want to visit in Murrieta is possible in a rental car. Want to head to dinner at Anthony's Lounge and Ristorante? You can go in your rental vehicle without waiting for a rideshare to pick you up. Would you rather spend the afternoon at Mulligan Family Fun Center racing go-karts? You don't have to worry about a car being too small for your whole crew when you can pick the exact type of vehicle you want.


No matter where your trip takes you, it helps to know a little about driving in the region so your rental stays safe and ticket-free.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Murrieta?


Follow the rules of the road, as the Murrieta Police Department (MPD) patrols the area. Be mindful of the speed limits — Margarita Road and Date Street are posted at 45 mph, while Masters Drive and Hunter Road drop to 25 mph.


The city gets little rainfall and stays sunny or partly cloudy for much of the year, so driving conditions are usually fair, with flash flooding limited to low-lying areas.


Traffic tends to flow well overall, but I-15 and I-215 can get congested during peak hours. A real-time traffic app helps you spot those windows so you can plan around them.


What is parking like in Murrieta?


Overall, the most trouble you'll have parking in Murrieta is getting to the amphitheater early enough to find a good spot. You can opt for a prepaid option to make it easier. One thing to know: if you park on a public street, you can only stay in the same space for 72 consecutive hours before you risk a fine — but you'll likely be out and about during your stay, so that rarely becomes a problem.


As a word of advice, always bring your keys with you. You don't want to pay for a locksmith because you locked them in the car.


Are there toll roads in Murrieta?


Good news — Murrieta itself has no toll roads. Outside the city, a few regional express lanes, like those on I-15 and SR-91, charge a fee, so it's worth checking your route before a longer drive. Any tolls you pick up during your trip are handled through your Turo account.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Murrieta?


Yes — the area is EV-friendly. If you're renting an electric vehicle, you'll find both Level 2 and DC fast charging stations, so you can power up and get back to exploring the city and everything around it.


Do I need to rent a car in Murrieta?


Some parts of town are walkable, and public transit is available. But to make the most of your visit to Murrieta, you'll want a car so you can go wherever and whenever you like.
