Agree the return process before departure day
Confirm the return address, inspection arrangements, fuel requirement and key handover. Check whether the selected return time falls outside the normal arrangement. A map destination alone does not explain where to leave the car or whether someone will receive the keys.

A situation worth thinking through
An early flight can require a return before the desk is staffed. Arrange that process in advance rather than leaving keys without instructions.
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.
