KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in St. Julian's
- Car hire in St Julian’s gives you more flexibility to explore the island of Malta. Unlike other modes of transport, such as buses, you’ll be able to travel direct to your destination and come and go as you please. For example, you can drive to Mellieha in about 30min. This same journey via public transport takes closer to 40min and sometimes requires a change along the way.
- Luqa Malta Airport (MLA) is one of the closest airports to St Julian’s. With there being a large array of car hire companies to pick from, it’ll be easy to find the car of your dreams. Once you’ve collected your baggage and passed through security, you can find the agencies with ease. For example, Sicily By Car is located in the terminal, whilst Thrifty is a quick shuttle journey away. Once you have shown your identification and completed the necessary paperwork, your St Julian’s car hire provider will take you to your vehicle.
- Using a car hire in St Julian’s, you’ll see it’s a busy town on the island of Malta, which attracts tourists throughout the year. The driving style on the island tends to be relatively relaxed and considerate, which is ideal for those driving a hire car in a new environment. You should also regularly check your mirrors, so that you’re aware of your surroundings. This is due to the fact that there are lots of moped drivers in Malta, many of whom are tourists who may not follow the rules of the road.
- When driving a St Julian’s hire car, you will see that the island of Malta can get very busy, especially during the peak summer season when lots of tourists visit. Roads can get especially busy when ferries arrive at the port to drop off excited tourists. Therefore, if you prefer to drive on quieter roads, you should check the cruise arrival times. This way you can avoid the congestion from taxis that head to collect the new arrivals. One of the busiest roads is Motorway 1, which connected the town to the rest of the island. If you want a quieter alternative, you can try St George’s Road, which runs through the town.

Pros:
customer service at the avis hilton was very friendly and helpfulCons:
it was not very clear what the Allianz Insurance would cover, therefore I had to pay another 19€ a day for the Avis Car Insurance, what made the price per day very expensive compared to other offers. It would be nice to make clear what is covered in the Allianz Third Party Insurance...1First Car Rental
