Taking your rental to Gozo
The ferry between Malta and Gozo carries vehicles, so you can drive your rental straight onto the boat and off again on the other side. It is the easiest way to see Gozo properly, as buses there are infrequent and the best spots are spread out.
What does car hire for Gozo cost?
Booking a car for Gozo on Nova Drive costs the same as booking one for Malta: one all-in daily price with VAT, the airport fee, collision damage waiver, third-party cover and unlimited mileage included, and that mileage covers both islands. Cars booked here are allowed on the Gozo ferry and your cover stays valid on the crossing and on Gozo's roads, so one car handles the whole trip; you pay only the ferry's standard vehicle fare at the terminal. Collect in Luqa any day between 08:00 and 02:00, drive north to Ċirkewwa when you are ready, and roll on. Current from-prices per day for every class are below. Bookings are paid in full online when you book and are non-refundable once paid.
