Renting a car is a necessity in Malta. It is a small island, but if you want to visit all spectacular places, go there by car, as buses do not go everywhere.

It was easy to navigate around malta, although indicators are not used as much as in the UK! Parking can be difficult but not impossible. Definitely improved our experience in malta by having a hire car.

We drove all around Malta and Gozo. The roads are very narrow and bumpy in places but we saw a lot of interesting historical and scenic places. So we enjoyed our trip and would recommend a visit to other people.
