SIXT services in Malta

Malta offers a mixture of country terrain and city streets, and you'll find our models tailored towards this. You can get a compact city car in which to explore the narrow streets of the old towns, an MPV or 4x4 to venture into the countryside, a luxury saloon, or even a sports car or convertible to cruise the island in style. Bookable extras include sat nav, as well as child seats. Larger groups can even hire a minibus. When you hire a car in Malta you have a wide choice of hire periods too, from a weekend rental, or weekly rental, to longer-term car hire.
Best places to visit in Malta

Best places to visit in Malta

  • Valletta: The entire city is a World Heritage Site, dating back to the 16th century. It's a veritable treasure trove of baroque architecture, and you'll find yourself transported into Mediterranean history here. Visit the Barrakka Gardens for wonderful panoramic vistas of the Grand Harbour. Visit in February to experience the three-day traditional Maltese Carnival hosted in the city each year.
  • St. Paul's Bay: A mere 10 miles in your hire car from Valletta, this is the coastal jewel of Malta, with its crystal clear waters and warm sandy beaches – a wonderful contrast with the pebble beaches we're used to in the UK. Here are also plenty of historical attractions, as well as Golden Bay, St, Paul's Island and the beautiful Wardija Ridge.
  • Sliema: This is the main resort city in Malta, so if you're looking for the full experience, take a drive here - it's only about three miles from Valletta. Boat trips around the harbour are very popular, or you can drive to the Independence Garden or take in the De Redin Tower, a sentinel dating from the 17th century. And when the sun goes down there's a vibrant nightlife scene to enjoy.
