Use the right entrance

Ask your accommodation for parking and unloading directions, which may differ from its postal entrance. Have a way to view the essential address if mobile data is unavailable. If the supplied car’s phone connection is unfamiliar, ask about it before setting off rather than troubleshooting while moving.

PLANNING EXAMPLE

A situation worth thinking through

A hotel’s map pin may point to reception while its garage is accessed from another road.

Driving and parking: the wider picture

Prepare for the actual vehicle and journey before leaving the handover point. Transport Malta’s current road guidance is the authoritative starting point for local driving information.

Set up navigation while safely parked and follow the road signs and conditions you encounter. A navigation suggestion is not permission to enter a restricted street or park somewhere prohibited. Rental vehicle use, authorised drivers and incident reporting remain governed by your agreement. For unfamiliar controls, ask the handover representative or consult the actual vehicle instructions; do not experiment while driving.
