About Renting a Car at Center
Luqa city center is only 2 km from Malta Airport and is a convenient alternative for picking up a rental car without the airport's high fees. From here you can reach Valletta in 10 minutes and the fishing village of Marsaxlokk in approximately 15 minutes to the south. Luqa is a dense residential area with one of Malta's oldest churches, St Andrew's Parish Church, which dominates the village center.
The town borders Gudja and Mqabba and is a natural hub for southern Malta. Rent a car in Luqa city center instead of directly at the airport to save up to 15–20% on rental fees. Fill up at the petrol station on Hal Far Road before returning the car.
Parking in the center is free but limited during daytime. How do I get from the airport to the rental company in Luqa city center? It's approximately 2 km and easy to take a taxi or bus line 72 from the airport terminal to Luqa center in under 10 minutes.
What type of car is recommended for driving in Luqa? A compact car works well for the narrow streets of Luqa center, but choose a mid-size vehicle if you're planning longer trips around Malta. Are there parking options near the rental company in Luqa?
Yes, there's street parking around the village center, but on weekdays it can be tight around the church and square.
