Landing at Malta International Airport is the start of your island holiday – warm air, sunshine, and the sea just a short drive away. With Malta Airport car rental from RentGo Malta, you can pick up your car soon after arrival and continue straight to your hotel, apartment, or resort.
Selected offers include no credit card options, low deposit choices, and flexible payment methods such as cash or debit card on arrival, depending on the supplier, car category, and rental dates. This makes airport car rental in Malta easier for travellers who do not want a large card hold during their holiday.
When you leave arrivals, your car can be waiting at the airport car park or at a nearby meeting point. After a quick document check, vehicle walk-around, and rental form, you can drive towards Valletta, Sliema, St Julian’s, Mellieħa, Bugibba, Qawra, or the Gozo ferry.
Why Choose Malta Airport Car Rental with RentGo Malta?
- No credit card options: selected cars can be booked with cash or debit card payment on arrival. You still need a valid ID and driving licence, but a classic credit card is not always required.
- Low, transparent deposits: suitable offers clearly show the deposit or excess before booking, so there are no surprise card holds at the counter.
- Terminal pickup: meet the representative in the arrival hall or at a clearly marked point in the airport car park.
- Local cars, local knowledge: partners know Maltese roads, traffic patterns, fuel stations, and the best routes to popular resorts.
- Good choice of vehicles: choose from compact cars, automatic cars, family cars, and small SUVs for trips around Malta and Gozo.
- All-island freedom: drive to Valletta, Mellieħa, St Paul’s Bay, Sliema, St Julian’s, Marsaxlokk, Golden Bay, or the Gozo ferry at your own pace.
For many guests, this airport rental setup is more comfortable than traditional car hire. You manage your budget with cash or debit where available, keep your main credit card free for hotels and restaurants, and still enjoy a professionally organised car rental service in Malta.

- Northern beaches and resorts: drive to Mellieħa, Golden Bay, Għajn Tuffieħa, Bugibba, Qawra, and St Paul’s Bay.
