Malta car hire is highly recommended to get around Malta and Gozo. There is a lot more to see in the Maltese Islands than most people imagine – and public transport (buses) can be slow and rather limiting, although cheap. A taxi trip can easily cost as much as a day’s car rental, and taxis are normally found only at the airport and the main tourist areas. Car hire in Malta is very affordable, therefore it is the ideal means of transport. Distances are short, and getting lost is part of the fun! Hiring a self-drive car gives you independence, and driving in Malta and Gozo is not difficult – some roads may be bad, some drivers may be worse, but compared to driving in many major cities the pace is much more relaxed. Malta car hire companies offer a range of vehicles for hire, most auto rentals firms advertise small economy cars, family saloon cars, stationwagon (estate) cars, open-top jeeps, MPV’s, executive cars and minivans. Air conditioning and automatic gearboxes are also popular options offered for your hire car. You can also rent convertible cars and motorcycles / mopeds from some Malta car hire companies.

If you need add-ons to your hire car such as baby seats, roof racks, and the like, these are generally available from most auto rental firms. Malta car hire automatically comes with fully comprehensive insurance, for your peace of mind. It is possible to book Malta car hire online, and have your hired car waiting for you upon arrival at Malta International Airport – many rent a car companies have offices at Malta airport – car hire reservation online is also very convenient, with all arrangements taken care of in advance – and you can compare car hire prices at your convenience, and get the cheapest Malta car hire rates for your coming Malta holiday!
