Malta Airport to Sliema, St Julians, Gzira or Valletta: Private Cab Pickup

Summary

Private transfer from Malta Airport with easy pickup and local driver

You’ll step off your flight in Malta and spot your name right away—no lines or confusion. Your private cab takes you straight from arrivals to Sliema, St Julians, Gzira or Valletta with zero hassle. Friendly local drivers help with bags and share tips if you’re curious. It’s simple comfort after travel chaos—and that first breath of Maltese air stays with you.

What’s the experience like?

I didn’t expect to feel so relieved just seeing my name on a sign after that long flight into Malta. The arrivals hall was humming—families hugging, wheels clacking on the tiles—and there was our driver waiting near the HSBC ATM, like they said. He gave us a nod and a smile, not too formal but not rushed either. I remember thinking how nice it was not to have to haggle or explain where we were going (my Maltese is…well, let’s not talk about it).

The car was already cool inside—big relief after the warm air outside hit us. We loaded our bags (two big ones and our backpacks fit fine in the sedan), and as we pulled away from the airport I caught that first whiff of salt in the air. Our driver pointed out some things along the way—he told us which church had the best festas in summer, and I tried repeating one of the names back to him. He laughed, but in a friendly way. The drive itself to Sliema didn’t take long at all, maybe twenty minutes? It felt quick because we weren’t staring at Google Maps or trying to guess if we’d taken a wrong turn.

There’s something quiet about being driven through a new place right after landing—the sun was just starting to dip behind those limestone buildings, and for a second I forgot how tired I was. I watched people chatting outside little corner shops, scooters weaving past us. When we got dropped at our hotel, I realized we hadn’t really said much for the last part of the ride—just soaking it all in. Funny how sometimes you only notice those little silences later.
