KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Sliema

  • Renting cheap car rentals in Sliema can provide visitors with several advantages. One of the main benefits is the flexibility and convenience a rental car offers. While public transportation in Sliema is reliable, having Sliema car rentals allows you to easily navigate the island at your own pace, without being restricted by bus or ferry schedules. With a car, you can comfortably explore the beautiful surrounding areas of Sliema, such as St. Julian's, Valletta, Mdina, and Gozo.
  • The distance from Luqa Malta Airport (MLA) to Sliema is approximately seven miles or around 20-25 minutes on the road, depending on traffic conditions. When renting Sliema car rentals at Luqa Malta Airport, it’s important to have a valid driver's license and an international driving permit; one or the other will likely be required, so inquire about this beforehand if you can. The car-rental offices are located in a dedicated building across from the airport's multi-level parking garage. This building is accessible on foot from the Arrivals zone of Terminal 1, as well as via shuttle bus from Terminal 2.
  • Driving in cheap car rentals in Sliema might sometimes be intimidating for tourists and foreigners due to the narrow roads, steep hills, and heavy traffic. If you visit Sliema, you should be aware of the unique road signs, such as "zona pedonale" (pedestrian-only zone) and "residents only" zone signs. The driving etiquette in Sliema can be described as a combination of relaxed and edgy. Drivers are often calm, but sometimes will be aggressive. While most drivers follow the law, it’s not uncommon to encounter drivers who become impatient and do things like tailgating or cutting in front of other drivers.
  • Rush hour in Sliema can be especially challenging, and it’s busier during peak tourist seasons and summer months. Traffic congestion is not unheard of in the city center, especially on Tower Road and Triq It-Torri Road going toward Tigne Point. Additionally, driving cheap car rentals in Sliema during the morning and evening rush (between 7:30 am and 9:30 am and from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm) on weekdays could be difficult due to increased traffic on the roads. Rainy conditions can make driving on the narrow roads more difficult. It’s important to be cautious when driving on wet roads, as they can become slippery.

    When renting a car to drive in Sliema, we would recommend a small car, like a compact or sub-compact vehicle.

For example, residential areas often have a speed limit of 30 km/h (18 mph) to prioritize pedestrian safety, while school zones will likely also have a speed limit of 30 km/h (18 mph) for the same reason.

3.6 Poor

Sep 2016

KAYAK

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.

5.2 Fair

Apr 2016

KAYAK

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,
