Auto-Union, Hertz and Malta are some of the best-known providers in the city. Use them as a starting point to compare offers.
The coverage Auto-Union or another company includes with your Sliema car hire can differ, so always check the small print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will apply a surcharge for it.
Consider booking a one-way home. You might be able to land a good deal if the provider needs to shift vehicles between branches. Discover the best available rates by selecting 'Return car to a different location.'
Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your ride with a full tank, so you pay only for what you use. You won't get hit with overpriced refueling charges either.
