KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Luqa
- A car hire in Luqa not only gives you the freedom to explore this beautiful old town on your own terms, the rest of the island of Malta is easily accessible too. Take in historic monuments like the Parish Church of St. Andrew, the Tal-Ftajjar Chapel and the Dejma Cross before venturing further afield. The historic capital of Mdina can be reached in under 20min by car, and you can get a glimpse into the pre-historic past at the Tarxien Temples, which are only 7min away, or take the family to the Malta National Aquarium and pack up the car for a day of relaxation under the sun at Golden Bay.
- Luqa is situated only 1.5 km (less than 1 mile) away from the island’s only airport – Malta International. There, you’ll find a wide selection of top car hire companies to choose from, including Budget, Avis, Europcar, Sixt, and Hertz. The car hire desks are located in the Welcomer’s Hall. They’ll have you behind the wheel of your Luqa car hire in no time. Take the Vjal I-Avjazzjoni west and you be in the centre of Luca in 5min. When it comes to dropping off the vehicle, simply park up and leave the keys in the deposit box next to the desks.
- As an old town, the streets in Luqa can be particularly narrow and, as such, require a little extra attention when driving. Roads are generally well-maintained and easy to navigate, although you may find adding a sat-nav to your car hire in Luqa helpful if you’re not familiar with the area. Driving is on the left side of the road in Malta, so you won’t have to worry about transitioning to the other side. Still, it’s important to be mindful of other drivers and pedestrians.
- Being so close to the airport, Luqa is liable to heavy amounts of traffic passing through in the height of the tourist season. Local rush hour traffic usually occurs on Mon-Fri between 07:00-09:00 and 17:00-18:30, so it’s better to avoid main roads during these periods and consider alternative routes to your destination. It may take longer, but you’ll avoid the hassle. It’ll come as no surprise that Malta is also very hot, so a car with air-conditioning is essential - make sure to always carry water in your Luqa car hire.

Pros:
NothingCons:
Showed up in Malta airport and the local firm (Aquarius) that Payless outsourced to no longer did business with them so we were forced to pay an inflated price at the last minute. Not to mention that Aquarius didn't keep cars at the airport. Strongly suggest you rent from one of the big rental companies that have a desk and cars at the airport (Budget, Sixt, Eurocar, Avis, Goldcar, Hertz, etc)Avis

Pros:
The car itself was fine. Staff were terrible.Cons:
1. DO NOT BUY the Kayak insurance. When we arrived we assured them that we had comprehensive insurance. But they refused to accept it without putting a 10K hold on our card. Who is going to accept it. Another 236 euros on our way, we got the car etc. We returned early due to COVID. We asked the person if she could prorate our money - or at least the insurance she had made us buy. She flat out refused saying it was part of the contact. Luckily it looked like Hertz the company did the right thing and refunded our credit card, but the people at Hertz in Malta airport have a seriously bad attitude which is too bad because the rest of the Maltese people were delightful.2.0 Poor
Sep 2016
Pros:
Not much...Cons:
They mandated a $1000 hold on my credit card for declining their insurance, which was a complete surprise to me. Also, when we turned the car in, they peeled the Hertz sticker off the car, and parked it another company's lot ("Gold?"). All in all, a shady (dodgy), unpleasant experience.U-Save

Pros:
Easy to get to and drop offCons:
1. Oh, do you want to put a €2,500 security deposit on your credit card which we'll remove in 35-40 days, or pay €30/day for all-inclusive insurance and only a €250 security deposit which we'll remove after 5-7 days? (and why is a deposit needed if the insurance is truly all-inclusive?) 2) Wanted a Nissan, got a crappy Peugeot with horrible ergonomics,warning lights that stayed on and a semi-functional fuel gauge. 3) After filling up the car the fuel gauge didn't budge, and I'm not sure if I convinced they guy that I had truly filled the car up or not since the gauge was still much lower than full. Any additional charges on my card will definitely be contested (and thank God my CC company always backs me up)3 locations in Luqa
