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.

Mdina - the old capital
Mdina is the old capital city of Malta and lies on the south-western part of the island. You could say only a little bit in the outback. Beside it is Rabat. The population of Mdina is around 400 people. It is quite impossible that the population can increase, because the whole city resembles more a castle or fort then a city. The city lies 190mtrs above sea level (that’s quite high for Maltese landscape) and is surrounded with slopes on three sides. The city has almost the form of a square and is very strong fortified.
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.
Plaza Shopping Mall
The Plaza Shopping Mall lies in the centre of Sliema and is similar to Bay Street in Paceville, however the flair is much different. The reason for this difference is probably that BayStreet is influenced very strongly by the nearby entertainment centre and nightlife of Paceville.
