Private driver vs taxi vs bus in Malta
Malta is small, but traffic, limited parking and infrequent buses to places like Dingli Cliffs or the Blue Grotto can eat into your day. A private driver is not a taxi: the same driver stays with you, waits at every stop and adapts the plan as you go.

FAQ
Private driver Malta: frequently asked questions
Last reviewed by the A4 Malta team
How much does a private driver cost in Malta?
Hourly private driver hire in Malta starts from €45 per hour, priced per vehicle rather than per person. The total depends on the number of hours, the vehicle and the route - send us your plan on WhatsApp for a fixed quote.
Is the price per person or per car?
Per vehicle. The price covers your whole group, which is why a private driver is often better value than shared tours for families and groups of 4 or more.
Does the driver stay with us all day?
Yes. Your driver stays with you for the full booking, waits while you visit each place, and drives you to the next stop whenever you are ready. You can change the plan during the day.
Can I choose my own itinerary?
Absolutely. Our North and South routes are suggestions only. Tell us what you like - history, beaches, food, photography or Game of Thrones filming locations - and your driver will plan the day around you.
Is a private driver the same as a tour guide in Malta?
No. Our drivers are licensed and know the island well, but only Malta Tourism Authority licensed tourist guides can give guided tours inside sites such as St John's Co-Cathedral or the temples. We can add a licensed guide to your day for an additional fee.
Can a private driver take us to Gozo?
Yes. Your driver takes the car on the Gozo Channel ferry from Ċirkewwa to Mġarr, so you stay in the same comfortable vehicle all day. Popular stops include the Ġgantija Temples, the Citadel in Victoria, Dwejra, Ramla Bay and Xlendi.
Can I book a private driver for a Malta airport transfer?
Yes. We offer fixed-price door-to-door transfers from Malta International Airport (MLA) to any hotel or apartment. Your driver tracks your flight and waits in arrivals with a name sign. See our airport transfer page for prices.
Do you pick up from Valletta Cruise Port?
Yes. Your driver meets you at the Valletta Cruise Port terminal, plans the day around your time in port and guarantees your return to the ship. See our cruise shore excursions page for suggested itineraries.
What vehicles are available?
Our fleet includes an Executive BMW 5 Series (up to 4 passengers), Mercedes-Benz E-Class (up to 4 passengers), an Executive SUV (up to 5 passengers) and minivans (up to 7-9 passengers). All vehicles are air-conditioned and regularly serviced.
What is your cancellation policy?
You can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before your pickup time.
