What Should I Do If I Have an Accident in My Rental Car at Malta Airport?
First, ensure everyone's safety and move to a secure location if possible. Call the emergency number (112) for police and medical assistance if needed. Immediately contact your car rental company's emergency number provided in your rental agreement. Document the scene with photos, gather information from other parties involved, and file a police report.

What Should First-Time Renters Know About Fueling Up in Malta?
Familiarize yourself with your rental's fuel policy, typically 'Full-to-Full.' Malta's gas stations offer unleaded and diesel fuel, with most being self-service and accepting credit cards. However, it's wise to carry some cash, especially for stations in more remote areas. Always confirm the correct fuel type for your vehicle before pumping to avoid any issues upon return.

Malta Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and rental FAQ for US travelers exploring Malta from Luqa

Can I drive in Malta with my US driver's license, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
You'll need BOTH your US driver's license AND an International Driving Permit (IDP) to rent and drive a car in Malta. The IDP acts as a translation and is mandatory for non-EU citizens. You can get an IDP through AAA in the US before departure. Also critical: Malta drives on the LEFT side of the road—a major adjustment for American drivers—so extra caution is needed at junctions and roundabouts.
I'm 23. Will I face a 'young driver surcharge' when renting in Malta, and how much will it cost?
Yes, expect a young driver surcharge if you're under 25. Most Malta rental companies charge an additional €25-€35 per day for drivers aged 21-24. Some premium vehicles have higher age thresholds (25+). There are no senior driver fees in Malta—drivers over 70 can rent with a valid license. Always check the exact age policy before booking, as policies vary by rental company.
What should I know about Maltese traffic rules that are different from the US?
Three critical differences: (1) LEFT-hand driving is mandatory—overtake on the right, not the left. (2) Roundabouts are everywhere and drivers already inside have priority—yield before entering. (3) Speed limits are in km/h: 80 km/h on open roads, 50 km/h in towns, 30 km/h in residential zones. Speed cameras are active, and fines are automatically deducted from your rental agreement.
How expensive is parking in Malta, especially near Valletta?
Parking is limited and pricey in Valletta and Sliema. Street parking costs €1-€2 per hour in busy areas, while parking garages charge €15-€25 per day. During summer tourist season (June-August), expect full lots by 10 AM at popular spots. Consider booking accommodation with free parking if you're road-tripping the island, as Luqa airport itself has short-term parking at €2.50 per hour.
What's the fuel situation? Should I return the car with a full tank?
Unleaded petrol (95 and 98) and diesel are widely available at Eni, Mellima, and other stations—most rental cars run on petrol. Malta is small (approx. 27 km long), so a full tank typically lasts your entire trip. Most rental companies operate on a full-to-full policy: you'll get a full tank and must return it full to avoid refueling charges at €1.80-€2.20 per liter. Book a compact car—roads are narrow and parking spaces are tiny.
Are there any seasonal driving hazards I should prepare for when visiting Malta?
Summer brings intense heat (30-40°C) that can cause tire pressure issues—check pressure monthly. AC is essential, not optional. Winter (December-February) sees heavy rain that makes roads slippery, especially in Mgarr and northern regions. Flash flooding can occur on low-lying roads. Malta has no snow or ice concerns, but wind is constant—high-profile vehicles can be buffeted. Rain makes painted road markings extremely slick; maintain extra following distance.
