Count bags before comparing categories
List the large cases, cabin bags and bulky items travelling from the airport. Ask about a suitable category with all passenger seats in use. If the advertised vehicle is an example model, obtain confirmation of the category’s practical luggage suitability rather than depending on a particular boot shape.

A situation worth thinking through
Four passengers with four large cases may need a different category from four passengers on a weekend trip with small bags.
Airport collection: the wider picture
Prepare for the handover as well as the flight. Drive Cars Malta uses Park East Car Park at Malta Airport. Your reservation confirms the exact collection arrangements; a flight arrival time alone does not establish when you will reach the vehicle.
Build the pickup around the time you expect to finish baggage collection, then check what happens if your flight changes. Keep the reservation reference and contact number available offline. At handover, take time to understand the car, record its condition and confirm where it must be returned. Opening arrangements, waiting periods and charges must be checked against your selected booking rather than assumed from airport operating hours.

Not necessarily. Ask about the actual seating and luggage configuration instead of relying on the category name.
