A perfect Gozo day trip by hire car
A realistic one-day Gozo loop with your Malta hire car: ferry timing, a route from Victoria to Dwejra and Ramla Bay, and parking notes at every stop.
Things to do by car
Malta and Gozo are small, but the good bits are spread out. With your own car, and unlimited km to burn, you can string them together your way, at your own pace. Here are the routes and day plans we would give a friend.
A holiday here works best when you are not tied to a bus timetable. A morning at the Ġgantija temples on Gozo, an afternoon on a quiet northern beach, then dinner in a fishing village: that is an easy day with a car, and a very long one without. The guides below map out realistic days, with honest drive times and where to park at each stop.
If you are still deciding whether to hire at all, start with our practical guide to renting a car in Malta: it explains the pay-on-delivery model and what every price includes. When you are ready, browse the full fleet and rates, or go straight to automatic car hire if you would rather skip the gearstick.
