All our car rental rates include fire and third party liability insurance. In Malta, all our rates also provide collision coverage. Specific insurance information for your reservation will be printed on your confirmation voucher.

The following guidelines apply to rentals commencing in Malta.

Required Coverage
In Malta Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) is mandatory. CDW reduces the deductible (responsibility of the client) to US$500. Third party liability insurance is included in case of damage or injury to people or property outside of the rental car.

Optional Coverage
Theft protection, if purchased at the rental counter, costs approximately US$7 - US$9 per day. Theft protection reduces the deductible in case of theft to zero. Personal Accident Insurance (PAI) is available at the rental counter for approximately US$8 per day. Super CDW may be offered locally to reduce the deductible as low as zero.
