Car Rental, Driving and Parking in Luqa

Always drive on the left when hiring a car on the island of Malta and do be patient with local Maltese drivers, who tend to be fairly laid back. Many of the roads around Luqa and throughout Malta can become rather narrow and often feature potholes. Be especially careful of large potholes, as some people choose to drive on the other side of the road to avoid them.

Hire cars can be easily spotted by their number plates, so do make sure that you avoid leaving valuables on show. Plenty of car parks are available all over Malta, together with places along many of the streets. However, some areas are restricted, so be sure to check signposts and parking fees carefully before leaving your car.
