Booking through MaltaBest

What booking with us actually changes
Everything shown up front
The daily rate, the cover, the excess, the deposit and the pickup point are all set out on the booking before you confirm it.
The price is the price
From €6 a day with comprehensive insurance and unlimited mileage included. The total shown before you pay is the amount charged on Stripe's secure page, so there's no gap between the quote and the bill.
The excess is published
€1,800 to €4,000 by class on Essential, none on Zero Excess Protection (a €300 deposit is still held) — on the site, before you book, rather than explained to you at a counter with a queue behind you.
One team for your booking
Questions and change requests all go to one booking team: reply to your confirmation email or call.
In fairness to comparison sites
Comparison sites are genuinely useful. They show you the range in a market you don't know, and for a destination you've never visited that's worth something. Plenty of people shortlist on one and then book on a site they found through it, which is a perfectly sensible way to do it.
What a listing built from a feed often can't show is the fine print: the excess, the deposit and what the cover leaves out. When those only surface at the counter, you're the one sorting them out with a queue behind you.
Booking on MaltaBest puts the deposit, the excess, the cover and the pickup in front of you before you confirm, rather than promising a cheaper headline. Ours happens to be competitive anyway, but the argument stands either way.
Booking through MaltaBest: common questions
- What is MaltaBest?
- MaltaBest is an intermediary booking platform for car hire in Malta and Gozo. Before you confirm, the booking shows the daily rate, the cover, the excess, the deposit and the pickup point, so you know what's included and what's held.
- Is the price I see the price I pay?
- You see the full price up front, from €6 a day with insurance and unlimited mileage already in it, and the figure you see is the figure you pay, in full by card when you book, so there's no gap between the two.
- What happens if my flight is delayed?
- Tell us the flight number when you book and it goes on your booking, so the flight is tracked and the car is held if you land late.
- What if I need to change or cancel?
- You deal with our booking team. Bookings are non-refundable, so there's no refund if you cancel, shorten the rental or don't collect the car. To change the dates, the class or the driver, reply to your confirmation email or call us. Changes are subject to availability and may change the price, but a change is a conversation, not a claim against a voucher.
