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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilise Expedia's filters to help you identify the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary according to demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars are typically more economical to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements before making your booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals follow a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in this case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You will often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but it may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only 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 unexpected occur during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on long road trips, seek rentals offering unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home. Please read the details before booking!
