10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Malta

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting the vehicle type and desired features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for cost-effectiveness, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, especially during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy urban areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements before finalising your booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most favourable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are acceptable as well—just ensure that you return the car with an empty tank in this case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car from airports, but the added convenience may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should something unforeseen occur during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking through Expedia is a straightforward process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, search for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is essential for renting a car.

  • Head off to Havre for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. Roughly 137 kilometres from Malta, it's home to loads of amazing attractions, including Charles M. Russell Wildlife Refuge.

In most cases, you need to be 21 years of age and over in Malta. It should be noted that most companies will charge additional fees for young drivers. Read the fine print before you sign up, as rules may differ between rental car providers. Bear in mind that if you're planning to rent a specialty vehicle or a large car like a premium SUV, rules may require drivers to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Malta?

Where can I find a Malta car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Malta outlets will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll need to do some research. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Malta with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, be aware that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with your home. Please read the details before you book!
