St Julian’s & Sliema
Car hire from our desk in St Julian’s
A car hire desk you can walk into, on Fraxxnu Street in St Julian’s. Come in, ask your questions face to face, and drive away from the door.
A lot of car hire in Malta happens through a website or an airport counter. Ours also happens across a desk. Princess Garage is at 70 Sharay, Fraxxnu Street, St Julian's, and the people behind it own the cars. You can come in before you decide, sit down with the dates, and leave with a written quote or the keys.
The firm has been in the family since 1945. In 1950 the garage stood on Prince of Wales Road in Sliema; today the same family runs the desk in St Julian’s. The family story has the photographs.
From here the rest of the island is a drive away. If you are new to driving on the left, our first-timer’s guide covers the roundabouts and lane habits, and the road trip ideas plan the first day out.

How hiring in person works
-
Talk to a person
The people at the desk own the cars, and they speak Maltese, English and Italian. Ask what each class is like, or how the deposit works, before you commit to anything: nothing is booked until you say yes in writing.
-
Collect and return at the same door
Pick the car up at the desk and bring it back here at the end of the hire. If you are staying nearby, you can walk over for the keys.
-
What to bring
A full driving licence held for at least two years, your passport or ID card, and a credit card in the main driver’s name for the refundable deposit. You pay when the keys are handed over.
