There’s nothing better after a long flight than breezing through baggage claim, hopping into a private vehicle, and having a friendly driver take you directly to your hotel. No other transfer option is as hassle-free, reliable and safe as a Malta Airport taxi. 

The moment you land at Malta International Airport (MLA), your Welcome driver will be waiting for you at the arrivals gate. Simply look for a sign with your name on it and head over to your driver so they can lead you to your vehicle and help you with your luggage. Are you worried about flight delays? Don’t be! All of our drivers receive instant updates on delayed flights, so they’ll be there no matter what time you land. 

Once you begin your transfer with our Malta Airport taxi, your driver will answer any questions you may have and share a few insider tips on things to see and do in the city.

The drive in a taxi from Malta Airport to Valetta, the capital city of Malta, takes around 15-20 minutes depending on traffic.

At the roundabout, they will take the first exit and stay on Vjal l-Avjazzjoni/Route 1. At the second roundabout, your driver will take the third exit onto Triq Il-Kunsill Tal-Ewropa/Route 1 and continue straight onto Triq Giuseppe Garibaldi/Route 1. They will then hang a right onto Route 6 until they reach the roundabout, where they will take the third exit onto Triq Girolamo Cassar. Then, at Auberge Castille, your driver will continue onto St Paul St before taking a left at Alf. Camilleri Store onto Archbishop St, and then finally a sharp right onto D’office Bistro onto St.Frederick. From here, your driver will use the local roads to reach your hotel.
