Reduce unfamiliar decisions

Ask about the lighting controls at handover and save the accommodation’s vehicle entrance details. Keep the first route straightforward and avoid adding sightseeing detours if you are fatigued. If you need to change navigation or examine instructions, stop in a suitable safe place first.

PLANNING EXAMPLE

A situation worth thinking through

An arrival at night may make a direct journey to the accommodation more practical than visiting several stops immediately.

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.

Should I learn the light controls while driving?

No. Familiarise yourself with them while the vehicle is safely parked.
