Live operational status (Malta Time)
✈️ 24/7 Flight Meet & Greet: Arriving late or early morning? Our airport desk team monitors flight numbers and provides round-the-clock key handover at Luqa arrivals. Bookings between 23:00 and 06:00 have a transparent €20 late-night handover fee.
Leaving Malta International Airport feeds you directly into the Luqa roundabout and the Kirkop/Marsa bypass. Remember that Malta drives on the left-hand side of the road. Maltese speed limits are generally 60–80 km/h on dual carriageways and 30–50 km/h in built-up areas. Take the first roundabout gently while you get used to the vehicle and island road markings.
When returning your car at the end of your rental, simply follow the overhead signs for "Car Rental Returns / Park East" as you approach the airport loop road. Park in our designated bay, hand back the keys to our counter team, and walk straight into departures.
