When you book car hire in Valletta, make sure you think about the type of driving you are most likely to be doing. If you plan to spend most of your time in town, a small compact vehicle is ideal for navigating tight city streets and for parking in crowded areas. Small vehicles are also fine for exploring further afield in Malta, as the distances between popular attractions are not too far and most of the roads are fairly well maintained. However, if you plan to mainly drive outside the city, a sporty coupe is also an excellent choice for speed and handling on quieter roads.

When you opt for car hire in Valletta, remember that speed limit signs will be displayed in kilometres per hour (kph) rather than in miles. The speed limit in built-up areas is 50 kph, while on rural roads, the speed limit sits at 80 kph. Speed cameras and licence plate recognition radars are in place throughout Malta and in Valletta city.
