Car rental at the Gudja Airport

Malta is a popular tourist destination all year round. The whole year round you can find cheap flights from all over the world. What language is spoken in Malta? Maltese and English are spoken on Malta. Where do I pick up my rental car at Malta Airport? First you go to the arrival hall at Gudja Airport and are then directed to a parking lot near the airport exit. Here you will find your previously booked rental car. As soon as you have arrived your rental car at the pick-up station, you should, in your own interest, carry out a technical and visual inspection. Test the functionality of all important control elements.

Where is the nearest gas station at Malta Airport? There is a petrol station on the airport site. From the exit of your pick-up station, turn right and you will see the station near the parking lot. For security reasons ask your car rental company for opening hours. In general, we recommend that you always opt for the best fuel regulation (full/full). You pick up your rental car with a full tank of fuel and return it as is. In any case, this results in a time and price advantage. 

As Malta has always had a certain strategic importance for the British Air Force, the RAF established a military airfield near Luqa during the Second World War. The British continued to use the airport after the war. Only after Malta became independent from the United Kingdom in 1974 did the airport between Gudja and Luqa pass completely to the local civilian authorities. However, they had already been allowed to share the airport with the local civilian authorities. In March 1958, the first terminal without car rental and hire cars was put into operation.

The construction of the second terminal was planned in 1987, and the construction work took five years and ended in 1992 with a ceremonial opening. The airport of Malta is designed for an annual capacity of five million passengers. As early as 2015, 4.6 million travellers arrived at or departed from Gudja. 3,800 employees ensure the smooth operation of the airport. Their employer is the operating company MIA (Malta International Airport).

Before you drive to the capital Valetta and to the hotel, you should internalize the basic traffic rules of the Republic of Malta. The most important first: on which side of Malta do you drive? On Malta, left-hand traffic is the rule. Malta has well-developed roads, which are ideal for exciting discovery tours. You reach the capital Valetta within five kilometers. Your rental car will bring you faster and cheaper than a cab to your accommodation and to the sights of the capital. In general, you can also go on a journey of discovery by cab, but this procedure makes your vacation in Malta considerably more expensive. Renting a car from us is not only cheaper than taking a cab, it also gives you a lot of freedom in organizing your trip.

You should definitely visit the northern island of Gozo. To do so, you drive with a rental car about 30 kilometers from Valetta to the village of Cirkewwa and take a ferry of the Gozo Channel Line from there. The island is much greener than the rest of Malta and offers many natural attractions. In any case, you will find a hotel of international standard at a reasonable price and can thus extend your visit to several days. Ideally the car rental company will give you a list of hotels for the whole of Malta. This gives you the flexibility to explore the country and in the evening you can choose a hotel where you like it best. The most beautiful sandy beach in Malta is about 20 kilometers from the airport Gudja Luqa MLA near the small town Melieha in the north. Sliema, Malta's largest city, offers you optimal shopping miles with international flair. A varied nightlife is offered to you in the settlement of St. Julian's, not far from Sliema. There are always several kilometers between all attractions and the respective hotel. For this reason, the intention to rent a car at a reasonable price in Malta is clearly superior to the cab approach.
