Our fleet, your fleet
Pick the car that
fits the island.
Malta's roads are narrow, its villages older than most countries, and its coast worth the detour. We keep a fleet that suits all three.
Why choose us
Sixty years of
doing it properly.
Best rate, guaranteed
Unlimited mileage as standard, no credit-card fees, and no charge for a second driver. The price we quote is the price you pay.
A person, not a queue
John and the team answer the phone themselves — at the airport, on a Sunday, or when a battery goes flat in Mellieħa. Ninety per cent of our guests come back.
1966Since
Our story
It started with three cars.
John Refalo Snr founded Auto Rentals in 1966 with a fleet of three. Within a generation it had become the island's go-to name for hire and leasing, with more than two hundred cars on the road.
Today his son runs the company from the same corner of St Julian's — faster and more efficient, but with the same handshake behind it.
- Family-owned and independently run for three generations
- Every vehicle serviced, valeted and checked before handover
- Met personally at the airport, day or night

DetailsWhat they're saying
Guests who keep
coming back.
“Great service and great staff with lots of patience — no problems with the car at all, and they were kind enough to drop me off at my destination after I gave the car back. Totally satisfied.”
Footballer
“Excellent service. Met at the airport by Beatrice. John Jr and Snr are gentlemen. Car was in excellent condition. Met at the airport to return the car. All was perfect. Would highly recommend.”
Business figure
“Easy, swift and ready to assist. A really convenient, no-hassle car rental service. Whenever I had a problem it was handled immediately. I have used them multiple times for one-off trips and longer periods.”
Customer
“I just moved to Malta and was recommended by a colleague. They were extremely helpful, and when I didn't feel comfortable with the first car they changed it the next day for an even better one at no extra charge.”
Local Guide
“John and his team are very professional and extremely friendly. We hire here every year and have never had a problem. One year we had an empty battery — our own fault — and John was with us within minutes, no extra charge.”
Local Guide
“A genuine rental company. Made the whole experience really easy. Big thank you to John and Beatrice. Would highly recommend.”

The Maltese Islands
Ninety-three
kilometres
from Sicily.
Megalithic temples older than the pyramids, a subterranean hypogeum from 4000 BC, and a coastline of golden sand, red sand, blue lagoons and inland seas. Three hundred days of sun a year, and every one of them best seen from behind a wheel.
