Things to do in Malta by car
Malta and Gozo are small, but the good bits are spread out. With your own car you can string them together your way, at your own pace. Here are the routes and day plans we point our own customers to.
A holiday here works best when you are not tied to a bus timetable. A morning at the Ġgantija temples on Gozo, an afternoon on a quiet northern beach, then dinner in a fishing village: that is an easy day with a car, and a long one without. Our guides below map out realistic days, with honest drive times and where to park at each stop.
If you are still deciding whether to hire at all, start with our practical guide to renting a car in Malta. When you are ready, browse the full fleet and rates or ask about the 7-seater if you are travelling as a group.
