Hire a Car


Whatever your first impressions of the heavy traffic, the driving and the state of the roads, the best way to see Malta and Gozo is by car. The island is small, its network of roads is gradually improving and though the driving may sometimes leave you breathless, it is undoubtedly top-class and as safe as anywhere else.

Whether you prefer to relax on a beach or spend your days sightseeing, hiring a car in Malta is always worthwhile. A self-drive car provides convenient transport to and from the airport and gives you the freedom to really explore your holiday destination. Get away from the crowds and search out deserted beaches, traditional villages and local authentic restaurants.

Throw your golf clubs and beach towels in the boot and do all the things you really enjoy, free from the restrictions of bus timetables or organised excursions. Signposting has also improved tremendously, so finding your way about with the use of some very up-to-date maps available on the market would be no problem. GPS maps are also available. In any case, the beauty of driving your way around Malta and Gozo is the fact that when you are really in doubt there is only one thing to do - stop the car and ask the first person that comes your way for directions.

Most Maltese speak very good English and other languages so communicating will be easy and fast. We can't say the same for pronunciation of the place names, but an exchange of smiles should do the trick for you. Local agents to top international companies in Malta and Gozo offer quality and cheap car hire. Their fleets of rental cars range from cheap and compact, to the family sized and executive.

You can get instant quotations for your rent-a-car requests in Malta and even make online bookings taking advantage of special internet rates.
