Question 1

Do I need a driving licence to ride a quad in Malta and Gozo?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a quad (ATV) in Malta and Gozo requires a category B driving licence (car licence). For scooters up to 50cc a category AM licence is sufficient. For larger scooters and motorcycles you need category A. Always check the conditions with the specific rental before booking.

Question 2

How much does it cost to rent a car in Malta and Gozo?

Accepted Answer

Car rental in Gozo starts from €20–35/day for a small car (Fiat 500, Panda) up to €50–80/day for an SUV or van. Prices on Malta are similar or slightly higher. Worth comparing — on https://maltazar.pl we list vehicle rental operators on both islands. In peak season (July–August) prices rise 20–40%. Book at least a week in advance.

Question 3

Is a quad or a car better for exploring Malta and Gozo?

Accepted Answer

Depends on your personality! A quad gives more freedom and excitement — you can stop anywhere, take a dirt track, feel the island. A car is more comfortable in hot weather, for transporting luggage, and for families with children. Compromise: a buggy — a roof to shield you from the sun and an open cabin for adventure.

Question 4

Is insurance included in the vehicle rental price in Malta?

Accepted Answer

Basic insurance (Third Party Liability) is mandatory and included in the price. CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) often has to be added separately — €5–15/day. Read the contract carefully: the excess (deductible) on a collision can be €500–1,000. We recommend paying for full CDW plus excess waiver.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

In Gozo — most rental shops are concentrated in Marsalforn, Victoria, and Mġarr (near the ferry port). In Malta — Sliema, St. Julian's, and around Valletta. On https://maltazar.pl you'll find trusted vehicle rental operators on both islands with prices, reviews, and contact details. Filter by vehicle type and location.
