Driving Tips for a Smooth Journey in Malta

1. Drive on the Left

  • Vehicles in Malta drive on the left-hand side of the road. Familiarize yourself with roundabout navigation and priority rules.

2. Be Cautious on Narrow Roads

  • Many streets, particularly in villages and historic areas like Mdina, are narrow. Drive carefully and consider renting a compact car for easier navigation.

3. Parking Solutions

  • Valletta and Sliema have limited parking options. Use park-and-ride facilities or pre-book parking in high-demand areas.

4. Toll-Free Driving

  • Malta has no toll roads, making it affordable and easy to explore the island by car.

Best Time to Visit Malta

Peak Seasons

Why Rhino Car Hire Stands Out in Malta
