KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Msida

  • Car hire in Msida, Malta, provides the freedom to visit various attractions within a time and schedule of your preference. With a hired vehicle, you can set and customise your itinerary to suit your preferences and visit locations at your pace. Unlike public transport options with fixed schedules, a hire car will enable you to explore the city without relying on schedules. With a hire car, you can also access various parts of the city that are not so accessible by public transport. You can drive to attractions, including Ta'Xbiex Waterfront, Manoel Island, Griza Promenade, Marsamxett Harbor and Pieta Creek.
  • Luqa Malta International Airport (MLA) serves Msida and has onsite car hire companies, including Avis and Budget. The car hire companies at Malta Airport are located in the Arrivals area of the terminal building, just past the luggage claim and customs areas. The hiring agencies are conveniently located close to each other, so you won't have trouble finding the counters. Ensure you have all the documents required for successfully completing the hiring process. The companies for car hire in Msida have their car parks outside the airport's terminal, where you can pick up your hire car after completing the hiring process.
  • Msida has designated crossings and footpaths for pedestrians. However, especially near the city centre, be cautious and look for pedestrians, as they may cross without warning. The city also has narrow streets; therefore, ensure you exercise patience and drive moderately, especially in low-visibility areas. Msida has an extensive public transport network, and many residents and tourists use buses for transit. Be cautious of the buses and their frequent stops, as they may unexpectedly enter and exit traffic. Exercise caution when driving near buses.
  • Using car hire in Msida, you’ll find the city experiences rush hours between 07:30 and 09:00 and from 16:30 to 18:30. Avoid the main routes, including Triq Gort, Triq D'Argens and Triq Tal-Balal, which may experience heavier traffic during the rush hours. Msida experiences mild winters from December to February and hot summer seasons. While winter may not have heavy snowfall, rainfall may affect road conditions and make roads wet and slippery, making driving difficult. Consider hiring a vehicle with appropriate tyres, good visibility, high ground clearance and stability for safe and easy manoeuvring of the roads during rainfall.
