Malta best rent-a-car offers
Bookingauto (Malta) strives to make your car rental experience as simple and convenient as possible. This also applies to the location of rental points. Our clients can pick up cars in the most popular places, whether it be the city centre, airport, or main railway station. The list of our pick-up locations is extensive, meaning that visitors who book cars with us in Malta can always collect them from the most suitable place.
What we can offer:
By contacting Bookingauto.com, customers can be sure that there is the right type of car waiting for them. For example, if one person or a small group of guests arrives in Malta, it makes sense for them to rent a Convertible Mercedes C cabrio from €65 per day. This presentable and comfortable car is offered for rent by EUROPCAR. When it comes to a family or a large company, the best choice may be a Minivan VW Transporter at a rate of €65 per day. Your trip will be pleasant and safe in this roomy car. For those who want some extra comfort and have the appropriate budget, SIXT is ready to offer a Business-class model - Jaguar XE. A budget transport option for a journey would be a Seat Ibiza car, compact but quite convenient, the rental of which would cost about €17 per day.
Select the exact date and time for picking up and returning the car:
If you want to save money, choose the same pick-up and return time. Car rental companies charge for a full day of rent, so if you rent a car for 25 hours, you pay for 48 hours (two full days), and 73 hours would be equivalent to four full days of rent.

The most popular cities and rental locations in Malta
The rental points are grouped into three main locations: city, airports, and railway stations. Therefore, it won’t be difficult for you to find an option that suits you. Important note: the number of cars offered and the rental price in different rental locations in Malta may differ. That is, car rental at the airport can be more expensive compared to the city centre. However, there is generally a larger choice of models at the airport. To pick the best option, you should study all of the offers, compare prices, and then make a decision.
Approximate daily prices in Malta
The highest demand for car rental in Malta occurs during the high tourist season - summer.
On average, the cost increases by 20-30% and the choice of available cars is also significantly reduced if you don’t book in advance.
For example, in July, the average price for the popular model Renault Talisman in Malta is €48 per day.
In autumn, the same car costs about €10 per day.
Highest summer price for convertibles. For example, a Mercedes C cabrio is offered at €65 per day.
Among the economy classes, the most popular model in Malta is the Seat Ibiza. The rental price for such a car starts from €17 per day from EUROPCAR.
Business class car rental in high season is also more expensive. For example, renting a Jaguar XE costs about €87 per day.
With the arrival of autumn, demand gradually decreases and this is reflected in costs. For example, a VW Tiguan at this time can be rented for just €39 per day.
It will also be easier to find unusual and exclusive car models. For example, by renting a BMW X6, you will experience real driving pleasure and enjoy a luxurious visit that will remain in your memory forever.
How to cancel a reservation without penalties
On our website, you can cancel or change your booking in Malta under certain terms.
The booking can be cancelled with a full refund at least 24 hours in advance (in some cases, 48 hours may be needed).
If cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice (or 48 hours in some cases), the administration fee will be deducted from the online payment amount but the rest of the money will be returned to your bank account.
Each vendor has a different cancellation policy and administration fee for different cars. Therefore, we recommend that you carefully read the cancellation policy before booking.
Note: you can only cancel or modify your order before the pick-up time!
These additional rules apply to all bookings:
If the online payment sum is less than the stated administration fee, there will be no refunds when cancelling your booking once the administration fee is applied.
If your booking is made less than 24 hours prior to the pick-up time (or 48 hours in some cases), a cancellation policy will be automatically applied to your booking.
Important information: To cancel a booking, please go to the “Manage My Booking” section – do not contact the rent-a-car company directly.
Insurance coverage cancellation policy:
If you purchased an additional insurance product with your car rental, the policy will be automatically ended when the booking is cancelled. To check if you are eligible for a refund, see the cancellation policy set out in the terms of your insurance product.
No-show at the rental location:
A “no-show” can mean that:
● You didn't inform the car rental company of your cancellation before your pick-up time.
● You failed to pick up your car in Malta at the arranged time and date.
● You failed to provide the documentation required to pick up the car.
● You failed to provide a credit card in the main driver’s name with enough available funds on it.
In the event of any of the above, no refunds can be made.
The car rental company reserves the right to refuse a car to any customer who fails to arrive on time with all of the necessary documentation and a credit card with enough available funds for the car's security deposit. In such cases, the customer will not be entitled to a refund.
