Good to know

  • Rental age requirements aren't the same everywhere. Providers can set their own policies, and if you're under the minimum age, you could pay extra and face some limits. Check the rules for the supplier you choose before booking your rental in Malta.

  • Travelling with kids? Car seat regulations differ from place to place, and the correct setup may depend on their height, weight and age. Make sure you add the right one to your Luqa car rental booking.

  • You'll be asked for a few things when collecting your rental car: a valid driver's licence, extra photo ID, and a credit card that can cover the security deposit. Debit cards aren't widely accepted. Your booking will flag any other must-haves.

  • If it's your first time driving in Malta, don't forget that traffic here keeps to the left side of the road.

  • Follow the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 45kph in urban areas and 70kph or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.

  • You'll be using the euro (EUR) for all your purchases and expenses throughout your trip. You may find it handy to carry a mix of cash and cards to cover you in every situation.
