Malta is one of the jewels in the Mediterranean's crown, an enchanting place glowing with scenic, palm-tree fringed landscapes dotted with pretty villages, peaceful seaside resorts and an abundance of natural attractions. The small town of Luqa is situated conveniently close to Malta International Airport and provides quick and easy access to most of the island's top tourist sights, including the capital, Valletta, just a few miles away. With a surface area of just 122 square-miles, the island is a road-tripper's dream come true with an excellent network of roads offering good access to all the main points of interest. The fact that Malta has been inhabited for almost eight thousand years means that there are many interesting archaeological sights to explore, with the Greeks, Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Romans all having left their indellible mark. With its lavishly-decorated cathedral and stately 18th-century Magisterial Palace (now housing the Natural History Museum), the magnificent medieval hilltop town of Mdina is an absolute must for visitors, while the Roman villa at nearby Rabat features some of the finest 1st-century BC mosaics in the world. Dating back to 4000 BC and well worth a visit, the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum is an enormous subterranean structure and a fascinating UNESCO World Heritage Site. Spend a fun few hours with the kids exploring Popeye's village in Mellieha, which was used as the main set for the 1980 Hollywood blockbuster Popeye starring Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall. And for sheer natural beauty, you cannot miss the famous Blue Grotto equally memorable for the approach along a winding road on a cliff high above the Mediterranean. Blessed with some of the most spectacular seascapes in the whole of the Mediterranean, the neighbouring island of Gozo further enhances the excitement of renting a car in Luqa.

" Overall very pleased with the booking, collection and return process "
" Booked a car for 6 days in January from Malta International Airport. Good price and rental terms clearly stated on collection voucher. Speedy process at airport counter. Had to note and take photos of any pre-existing damage to car and if found submit online, which we did. Car was fine and in good condition. On return a Europcar representative was in the rental return area, who checked and confirmed no damage and full tank of petrol. Make sure to get this noted and signed on rental document. Our held deposit was cancelled and no subsequent unforseen charges made. Happy to recommend and use again. "

" It was really good.. The booking was nice and easy. "
" The experience was pretty good. The only thing I wasn't completely happy with was the £885 deposit that is blocked from your credit card straight away when you take the car but it can be up to 4 weeks to unblock it, leaving without money for a month. A part of that the whole experience was really good. :) "

" No complaints, although we were lucky to get to the counter at a fairly quiet time. Many others who were also on our flight would have had quite a long wait as there was only one staff member on the desk. Another staff member would have been useful to get through the queue quicker. "

" car ok had a few bits of damage on collecting "
" I will read the small print very carefully before hiring a car again to be hit with paying for a full tank of petrol on pick & knowing we do very few miles it became very expensive with the new idea return it empty it was still on the full when returned so that was another 60 euros in sixt pocket because it would only cost about 20 max to fill to the brim again & charge next customer 60 euros "
