Car rental is one of the most requested services in the tourism sector, but, especially for those who find themselves renting a car for the first time, it is not always easy to understand which decisions to make to contain costs or, simply, to avoid unpleasant surprises.
The information contained in this article will allow you not only to save, but above all to gain awareness and spend your holidays carefree.
1. Credit card
When renting a car, the first thing you need to know is that you must have a credit card in the main driver's name as a guarantee for the rental.
2. Book in advance
Rates vary continuously, sometimes even within the same day. The ideal time to book with us is approximately 3-4 months before you collect your car.
Apart from the economic convenience, consider that car availability may run out quickly especially in high season and grabbing the right vehicle for your needs in time can only be the best choice.

3. Delays and extra days
Remember that a delay of more than an hour compared to the expected return triggers the charge of an extra day of rental. Similarly, during the booking phase: a hypothetical booking with a collection at 6.00 pm and return at 7:00 pm the following day will be counted by our systems as two days of rental. It is up to you to organise yourself so as not to stumble upon these borderline cases.
4. Cross border information
Our vehicles can be driven only in Malta; customers fully acknowledge that the vehicle must be returned to Malta airport location. One-way rentals also with;zo are not available therefore customers will be considered solely responsible to pay for all the expenses to recover the car.
It is strictly forbidden to drive the vehicles in a country other than Malta and;zo Island.
In case of theft and/or accident and/or damage of any kind occurred in the above mentioned non authorised
countries, the driver will be held totally responsible for any event even if he has undersigned the Car Protection Plus and/or Pai Plus or Super Gold Protection clauses and is obliged to hand out a written and detailed report regarding the event anyway.
5. Choose a cover to eliminate or reduce your damage/theft penalty
I am a cautious driver, why should I choose extra cover? The question is legitimate, the covers certainly involve an additional cost compared to a simple rental.
However, our optional coverages are a way to protect you from eventualities that, otherwise, would remain at your expense. In the event of damage, in the event of taking out our coverage, you can rely on the fact that your liability has been reduced or entirely eliminated.
Among other things, choosing this option reduces the amount of the security deposit, consequently, a high amount will not be blocked on your credit card.
We invite you to carefully read the details of our additional coverages to peacefully evaluate the cost/benefit ratio. It is priceless to prevent unpleasant setbacks and guarantee you a;od vacation.
