Car Rental Valletta Malta — Practical Information

Everything you need to know before renting a car in Valletta

Driving in Valletta and Malta

Malta drives on the left side of the road — a legacy of British rule. This is crucial information for European and American tourists accustomed to right-hand traffic. Take extra care when pulling out of junctions and roundabouts, especially during your first days.

Valletta itself is a compact fortified city with extremely narrow streets, many of which are one-way or pedestrianized. While having a rental car gives you freedom to explore Malta, you'll typically park outside Valletta's city walls and explore the historic centre on foot. There are several public car parks at the entrance to Valletta, including near City Gate and at the Floriana area.

Parking in Valletta: Street parking within Valletta's walls is extremely limited and mainly reserved for residents. Use the official car parks at Valletta entrance or park in nearby Floriana. Expect to pay around €1-3 per hour. For longer stays, consider parking at Malta Airport and taking the X4 express bus to Valletta (15 minutes).

Valletta to Malta Airport Car Rental

Many travelers prefer to pick up their rental car directly at Malta International Airport (Luqa), located just 8 km from Valletta — approximately 15 minutes drive.

Driving Rules and Practical Tips for Malta

Essential information for safe driving around Valletta and Malta

Key Driving Rules in Malta

Fuel Prices and Petrol Stations

Malta uses Euro (€) currency. Petrol stations are plentiful across Malta, with several located within a short drive of Valletta. Fuel prices are regulated and similar across all stations. Expect to pay around €1.30-1.50 per liter for unleaded petrol. Most stations accept cash and cards. Fill up before returning your rental car — rental companies charge premium rates for refueling.

Toll Roads and Additional Costs

Good news — Malta has no toll roads or motorway charges. All roads are free to use. However, note that Malta doesn't have true motorways — the widest roads are dual carriageways with 80 km/h limits. Journey times are generally short due to Malta's small size (Valletta to any point on the island is under 45 minutes).

Valletta to Gozo: To visit Malta's sister island Gozo, you'll take the ferry from Ċirkewwa (45 minutes drive north of Valletta). The ferry takes cars, and the crossing takes 25 minutes. You pay on the return journey from Gozo: approximately €15 for a car plus passengers.

Frequently Asked Questions — Car Rental Valletta

Common questions about renting a car in Valletta Malta

Yes — through our platform you can find car hire options in Valletta with no deposit required. The rental agreement is concluded directly with the local car rental company, and full terms are detailed in your booking voucher. Selected vehicles from our partner companies are available without credit card deposit, making car rental accessible for travelers who prefer not to have funds blocked on their card.

Car rental companies in Valletta typically offer pickup locations near the city entrance or in the nearby Floriana area, as Valletta's historic centre has extremely limited vehicle access. Many travelers prefer to collect their rental car directly at Malta International Airport (just 15 minutes from Valletta), which offers more pickup options and is convenient if arriving by air. You can then drive to Valletta and park at the entrance car parks.

EU driving licences are accepted directly in Malta. If you hold a non-EU licence, you'll need an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your national licence. The IDP must be obtained in your home country before traveling. Your licence must have been held for at least 1 year. Minimum driver age is typically 21 years, though some vehicles require drivers aged 25+.

Malta drives on the left side of the road, which takes adjustment for drivers from Europe and America. Valletta itself has extremely narrow streets, many one-way or pedestrianized — most visitors park outside the city walls and explore on foot. Driving elsewhere in Malta is manageable once you're comfortable with left-hand traffic. Roads can be narrow with limited signage, but Malta is small and distances are short. A compact car is recommended for easier navigation and parking.

Most car rental companies in Malta allow you to take vehicles on the ferry to Gozo, but you must check this is permitted in your rental agreement. The ferry operates from Ċirkewwa (45 minutes north of Valletta) to Mġarr in Gozo. Ferry crossing takes 25 minutes and costs approximately €15 for a car plus passengers, paid on return from Gozo. Gozo is definitely worth visiting with a rental car as public transport there is limited.

You'll need: (1) Valid driving licence held for minimum 1 year, plus IDP if non-EU licence; (2) Passport or national ID card; (3) Credit or debit card for advance payment; (4) Booking voucher. Deposit requirements, if applicable, depend on the specific vehicle and rental company — full payment terms are specified in your voucher. Minimum age is typically 21, with possible young driver surcharge under 25.

No — Malta has no toll roads or motorway charges. All roads are free to use, making budgeting for your car rental straightforward. The only additional driving cost is the ferry to Gozo (approximately €15 for car and passengers), if you choose to visit the sister island. Fuel costs should also be factored in, with petrol around €1.30-1.50 per liter.
