Prices, insurance and minimum age to hire a car in Malta
Prices vary according to model class, between €14 (the cheapest price as far as our research shows) and €49 for a car like a Peugeot 206, Kia or Fiat. Of course in Malta cars like Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, or larger cars like a Van or Minibus are also available.
The longer you hire the care, the cheaper the price will be. Students are often granted discounts.
Attention: Cars are principally not hired to people under the age of 21. People between 21 and 25 years have to pay a bit more for the additional insurance. That’s normally around €5 excluding tax.
In case of an accident there is the excess payment of €350 (varies sometimes). Some car rental services require that you deposit this excess ratio in cash. We wouldn’t suggest this, because you can never be sure to get it back - some find ridiculous reasons to keep the money.
Also it is important to check the car before you hire it! Sometimes there are easily spottable damages, in that case report immediately to the car rental service before driving off.
In Malta driving is on the left side of the street - since Malta was a former colony of the British Empire.
Some streets are very narrow, unbelievable narrow. Sometimes even too narrow for some larger cars like a jeep! So be careful.

Ferry to and from Malta
One can reach Gozo easily from Malta with the ferry. There are two operating routes from Malta to Gozo. The first and most commonly used is from Cirkewwa (Malta) to Mgarr (Gozo) and the second is from Sa Maison (near Valletta/Malta) to Mgarr (Gozo). Both routes are operated by the enterprise: Gozo Channel Ltd. The routes operate once per hour and the crossing lasts only 20 - 30 minutes.
St. Thomas Bay
The St.Thomas Bay is on the outskirts of Marsascala. The bay is very large; however it only has a small sandy beach. Cliffs surround the majority of the bay. There are some cafes and Snack-bars beside the bay. The bay is used also by many Maltese Fishermen.
