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?

Hiring a car for Gozo with Nova Drive costs the same as hiring it 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. Our cars 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 at Malta International Airport, Park East, 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, and every booking cancels free up to 48 hours before pickup.
