It’s important to know about the types of roads you’ll be driving on so you can familiarise yourself with the rules of the road before you hire a car in Malta. There are no motorways in Malta, so the main roads in Malta are highways or dual carriageways. Driving takes place on the left-hand side of the road in right-hand drive cars, as in the UK, and you cannot overtake from the right.
Fortunately, there are no toll roads in Malta, so this is one less thing for you to worry about as you are navigating your way around the island. However, there are plenty of speed cameras around the island with different speed limits. Keep an eye out for warning signs about them. The way some of the routes are laid out in Malta means that trips can take longer than you think, so we advise planning ahead.
Renting an electric vehicle in Malta is positively encouraged, especially because of the high number of cars on the roads. (Most people over the age of 18 here own a car). EVs have some distinct advantages – they’re noiseless, pollution-free and often cost-effective to hire.
Public charging stations, home charging stations, and portable chargers are all available in Malta, with public charging stations found in parking lots and shopping malls. Charging is free and as part of the PORT-PVEV project, three solar charging stations were put in at Ċirkewwa Ferry Terminal, Ta'Xbiex Marina and Deep Water Quay Car Park in Valletta, providing another six charging stations to the national network.
Chargers are available all over the country, but here are a few quick locations near important landmarks and destinations where you can charge your electric car hire :

To hire a car with Hertz in Malta, you need a valid driver’s licence (held for at least a year), any required international driving permits, a valid passport/ID card (no photocopies), and a credit card in your name to cover the rental cost and pre-authorisation amount. If you booked with a different card, bring that one, too. All cards must be in the driver’s name.
Age requirements vary by country. Please check the Rental Qualifications during booking for specific details. At Hertz, we ask the driver’s age to determine if a young driver fee applies. In most cases, the driver must be at least 25 years old and have had their license for at least 1 year. Drivers under 25 usually incur an additional fee.
As per Hertz policy, the booking MUST be made under the name of the renter i.e. main driver who picks the car up with his/her own debit* or credit card, using a debit* or credit card in the renter's name. The same debit* or credit card MUST also be presented upon collection of the vehicle, as a guarantee. Hertz does NOT accept debit* or credit cards in a name other than the main driver's, even if accompanied by a "per procurement"/mandate document and personal documents of the debit or credit card holder. *HERTZ do NOT accept debit cards in every country. Please check Debit/prepaid Cards for details.
Hertz car rental rates exclude fuel. Cars are provided with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank, or a refuelling charge will apply. You can purchase fuel at rental, but no refund is given for unused fuel. Ask about our Fuel Purchase Option (FPO) when picking up the car.
For prepaid car hire bookings in Malta , you can cancel by midnight two days before the date of your scheduled pick-up date for a full refund. If you cancel after this time but before pick-up, your refund will depend on our Cancellation Policy. For "Pay at location" bookings, you can cancel any time before pick-up free of charge. However, no-shows without cancellation will incur a No Show/Lost Rental Fee.
