Malta's wonderful geographical position in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea makes it one of the most alluring European countries to visit. Its capital, Valletta, was built to an innovative grid system by the Knights of St John in a truly sensational seaside location. The old walled town boasts a harmonious ensemble of 16th- and 17th-century townhouses crowned by the city's impressive cathedral which is particularly notable for its lavish interior. Take a few minutes to view Caravaggio's Beheading of John the Baptist in the Oratory, the largest and most striking masterpiece he ever produced. Valletta is also home to some first-rate museums, such as the National Museum of Archaeology and the National Museum of Fine Arts. Small and manageable, the island is the ideal place for an exciting motoring holiday with your car hire in Malta. Tourist highlights away from the capital include the medieval hilltop town of Mdina in the centre of the island (along with the neighbouring town of Rabat) and the Neolithic site of Hal Saflieni Hypogeum, a fascinating UNESCO World Heritage Site. For some relaxing beach time once all the city sightseeing is done, head for St Paul's Bay just 10 miles north-west of Valletta or Malta's two beautiful sister islands, Gozo and Comino.

" 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. "

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. :) "

" 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 "
