About Car hire at the airport
Malta International Airport says more than 30 car-hire companies operate from the airport (maltairport.com). Malta drives on the left; roads are narrow and parking in Valletta is limited, so a car is most useful on Gozo and in the countryside.
Why it's on our list
- Drive on the left
- Best for Gozo
Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Car hire at the airport before you go.
