Before you book
- Cars in this class: Citroën C3, Peugeot 208, Hyundai i20, Opel Corsa. You book the class, not a named car. You will get one of these models or another car of the same size, never a smaller one, and you are told which car it is when you collect.
- You choose manual or automatic when you book, and the car you collect has that gearbox. Automatics in this class start at €6.80 a day.
- Licence held 2 years or more, minimum age 21. Drivers under 25 pay a young-driver fee, shown in your total.
- The hold needs a credit card in the main driver's name. Debit, prepaid and virtual cards are not accepted for it.
- Fuel is like for like. The level is recorded with you at pickup and the car comes back at the same level.
- Add your flight number at checkout so delays are tracked and your car is held.
- Pick-up and drop-off are both in Luqa. One-way returns are not available.
The economy car in Malta
A five-door supermini with five seats and a boot of about 300 litres, rated for two bags. It suits a couple with hold luggage or a family of three travelling light, and it still fits village streets and the seafront bays in Sliema and St Julian’s.
Distances are short: Malta is roughly 27 km end to end. A smaller car is cheaper to fuel and easier to park, and on this island those count for more than cabin space.
Will two large suitcases fit in an economy car?
Yes. The class is rated for two bags and the boot holds about 300 litres with every seat in use. A family of four with four suitcases needs the compact class or a compact SUV.
Economy or city car?
Economy has five seats and takes two bags; the city car has four and takes one. The city car is shorter and easier to park, and it suits two people with cabin bags.
Is the economy class available as an automatic?
Yes, the economy class comes as a manual or an automatic. Automatics in this class start at €6.80 a day.
