36 Car Rental Brands at Malta International Airport (MLA)

All the rental companies are in one place, making it easy to find. The car condition was average, but the price was very affordable. The roads in Malta are in poor condition, so beginners should be cautious, especially when driving a right-hand drive car. Be extremely careful when using Google Maps in the city, as it's easy to take the wrong route.

The staff at the rental office clearly explained questions about car usage and the deposit. The card pre-authorization amount is slightly higher, which covers the deductible. Upon returning the vehicle, any outstanding toll fees or traffic violations will be deducted, and the remaining pre-authorization amount will be released after some time. Overall, the car's performance was sufficient for basic use. The pick-up and drop-off processes were quick and smooth, without any waiting. The rental prices were reasonable, and booking in advance made it more affordable. Highly recommended.

It was okay, but the car's condition was quite average. I guess it was because I rented it late, and it was probably the last automatic small car available. There were around 20 to 30 defects on the exterior.

Dear Sirs, they made an outrageous extortion of fines. We have not scratched the wheel cover - and all tires were black when the car was returned - so how come Surprice rent company sent us a picture where one wheel has now mark made with white chalk- pretending to be street paint - it is impossible to run into a curb and make this mark - to square. The wheel is always rotating so no such marks are possible - basic geometry. This is a simple false claim on car rental company side - and extortion of fines. (do they do it to every car that has not purchased overinflated insurance with Surprice rent?) And they charge 100 eur for a car wheel cover!!!! I will post proper opinions on several websites about this case. And Qeeq should look into this matter - if you are interested - we can send pictures - just to which email? Best regards, Rafal Golebiowski

Car quality - good. Inspection showed several scarves what is a downsize for a minicar with 21000km only. Manual transition is in poor condition. Rest is fine or perfect. Office - basic office, some staff roaming around. Up-sell is a must here so better be prepared for assertive approach. Apart from that no other comments. Costs - the rate was good so I chose them. They blocked EUR 1200 + EUR 150 for fines. Get it back within 72hrs after drop off. Inspection is quick but I left power charger in the car and they haven't replied. My bad.

My experience of car rental in Malta turned out OK. On collection of the car the rental company charged a location fee I was not aware of. The car itself was disappointing, very damaged inside and out. Seemed to be an old car, 65000 miles on the clock, not normally what you expect with rental cars. Other than that I had no problems with fuel or any other aspect of the rental, lots of reviews for this company in Malta were not very good, I did not have a problem. Qeeq got the location charge returned when I got back.

Good service but very confusing to find. They told us to go to the upper floor of the airport but their office wasn't there; upon calling them, we were told to wait at the taxi area to be picked up and driven to the actual location (some 10 minutes away by car). They were quick once we got there.

Tried to give us a smaller car than we had booked, after an already long wait. Then said they’d look for a bigger car - it took 45 mins to be confirmed they had one, then another 20 mins for it to be delivered. Got to the car park and there were lots of the vehicle type we had been allocated and we were given the oldest, most dilapidated car possible - high mileage, stained seats and interior, missing wing mirror cover, steering wheel was worn, poor fitting boot liner. It was a mess! We figured at least they wouldn’t notice any damage as there was no space left to damage! Wouldn’t book through them again.

Tried to sell us additional insurance at time of pickup. Tried to charge for damage already present at time of pickup.

The company is probably the biggest one in Malta, services were really good, they are really PRO in what they do. I definitely will use the company services in Malta or other countries once again.

Counter staff were very pleasant and helpful. The cars body work was in poor condition (scratches,dents, body trim missing). The service indicator on the dashboard was on. The cars running performance was very poor it had a problem with it. We didn’t report this until we dropped car off at end of our stay, because we were only staying for a few days and didn’t want this to have any impact on the time we had on the island.

Goldcar agents were very efficient and the check out of the car was quick and easy using their app solution to checking the car out rather than the paper form used by other hire companies.
