Jūrmala Center Car Hire

Jūrmala is Latvia's most famous beach resort, stretching along 33 km of Baltic Sea coast just 25 km west of Riga center. Six rental agencies are available downtown, making it easy to pick up a car and explore the coast or drive into Riga in 30 minutes via E22. Jūrmala is known for its Art Nouveau wooden villas and the long sandy beach of Majori.

The center revolves around Jomas iela in the Majori district, 500 meters from the beach. From here it's 3 km to Kemeri National Park with its bog landscapes and sulfur springs. Riga Airport (RIX) is 30 km to the east via motorway A10.

Park your rental car at Majori station and stroll along Jomas iela – traffic is restricted in the center during summer. Drive to Kemeri National Park early in the morning to avoid visitors on the wooden boardwalks that cross the bogs. With a rental car you can easily combine Jūrmala with Sigulda and Gauja Valley, 80 km to the north.
