KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Sliema

  • If you plan on using a car hire in Silema, you will be giving yourself the extra freedom to explore the city and the rest of the island of Malta. By using a car hire in Silema, you can choose where you go, when you go, and for how long you stay, without having to worry about the schedules for public transport. It is also easier for transporting your luggage to and from the airport and your accommodation. With a Silema car hire, you can visit the nearby beaches and towns at your own leisure.
  • Malta International Airport is the closest airport to Silema, and you will find a variety of established car hire companies available to choose from. Some of the more popular car hire companies available at the airport are Surprice Car Rental, Sixt, Hertz, Rhodium, and Malta First Car Hire. You can follow the signs to the car hire area of the airport, which is inside the main terminal building and beside the baggage reclaim area in Arrivals.
  • In Silema, you will need to drive on the left-hand side of the road, and you cannot turn left at a red light unless you have a filter light giving you clear permission to do so. Be careful as you drive around Silema, as pedestrians are prone to jaywalking, and even if they cross the road illegally, you will have a responsibility of care for their health and safety as you are behind the wheel of a vehicle.
  • The weather in Malta is generally the typical warm Mediterranean climate, and so we recommend that you check your vehicle before driving it to make sure that it is in the best conditions possible to give you full control. We recommend checking the tyre pressure and the coolant level so as to avoid any problems while out on the road. We also recommend avoiding the town centre as this is the area of Silema that has the most traffic, particularly during rush hour, which is before and after the traditional office hours.
  • Book your car hire in Sliema at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:

Nice little automatic car.

Cons:

Key was broken and hard to use. When I went to pickup there was a sign 'back in 5 mins.' 30 mins later someone showed up. Drop off was impossible. They said I could park it anywhere near the rental oication but finding a parking place took forever! On top of all of this someone, Kayak or Hertz, unclear, messed up my reservation. I booked for a Sat but it apparently got entered into the system as Sunday so I almost wasn't able to get a car at all.

Cons:

This is a small local Hertz office, where it seems the client always comes last. They where upset because we didn't come at the exact time of our reservation, didn't want to accept some of our credit cards, and where generally very disrespectful towards us. They also don't have their own parking spaces, and expect you to find a place in the street (in a very congested part of the city) when dropping the car off, The car was clean and in good condition. But be ward of a very poor costumer service,
