Location information for Malta

Introduction

Malta is the largest island of the Maltese archipelago, which also consists of Gozo and the uninhabited Comino. Malta is full of history, but also offers sun, sea, beaches and excellent diving spots. The capital Valetta alone has more than 300 monuments and there are many other remnants of our forefathers on Malta, including the underground tomb (hypogeum) Hal Saflieni and the megalithic temples. Add to this the crystal clear waters of the sea and exciting nightlife of the tourist places and it will be clear that Malta offers something for everyone.

Population

On the two islands Malta and Gozo live about 400,000 people. The largest city is not Valletta, but Birkirka. Malta is one of the most densely populated countries in the world.

Location

The archipelago is located in the Mediterranean, more than ninety kilometers south of the Italian island of Sicily. The landscape is hilly and the highest point is the Ta’ Dmejrek (253m).

Economy

Malta has become a financial center, with many offices of offshore banks. There are several online gambling companies located on Malta. Furthermore, there are limestone mines in the archipelago and in Malta they manufacture electronics and clothing. Tourism is very important: the archipelago is visited by more than a million people annually. Recently, the country is trying to promote so-called medical tourism (people who are treated in Malta, because this treatment is much more expensive in their own country or because they are on a long waiting list).

Airports

The international airport is located eight kilometers south of the capital Valetta, near the town of Luqa. The airport is often referred to as Luqa Airport. Malta International Airport is easily accessible by rental car. From the city first follow the road to Marsa. After that, the route is clearly indicated on road signs.

Public Transport

Malta has good public transport. Buses to several sights depart almost without exception from Valletta. This means that there are no bus services between the attractions, but you will have to return to the city first. To circumvent this problem, you might consider renting a car.

Traffic and Parking

In recent years, the roads on Malta have improved a lot and a rental car is an ideal means of transport to visit the many attractions and beautiful beaches. Alongside a double yellow line it is not permitted to park. Alongside a single yellow line it is not allowed to park during certain hours (usually indicated on signs); you can stop here briefly. In so-called ‘Time Parking Zones’ you are only allowed to park for a specified period of time, in most cases not more than one hour.

Hotels

Malta has no shortage of hotels and accommodations. From cheap dorms for backpackers to five star hotels. In recent years, more hotels have been built in the more expensive categories. Tourists that can afford such a hotel room spend more money, thus argues Malta. In summer it is advisable to book your room well in advance.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is EasyTerra Car Hire the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).
