Getting around with hicabsMalta

To all you lovely holiday-makers that havejust stepped off the plane and are finding out how to get around in Malta, hereare a few useful tips to ensure that your stay in Malta is comfortable andconvenient, even when it comes to your transport requirements.

Following your airport to hotel transfer,the first thing that comes to your mind as you walk out of your hotel is"where do I go now?" and you start thinking of how you are going toget around and arrive back comfortablyto your hotel.  Well let us go throughthe various transport options available here in Malta:

1)     Public Transport (the bus) – the mainform of public transport that you canfind on the Maltese Islands are the buses. For both the local and the tourist,  the waiting times can be quite long with busstops that are not always comfortable or even sheltered from the sun. On themore popular routes the buses are often completely full, increasing yourwaiting time. This means that whilst the young and strong might cope andsomehow manage to pull it off, for the elderly and for families withpush-chairs, this could prove to be quite a problematic situation. Otherwise itis relatively cheap when compared to travelling alone in say a cab, and it is an option that is worthconsidering for the main destinations.  

2)     Private  and rental Cars – even though going out on your own private excursions might seemquite fun, you might find that it could prove to be quite difficult, mostespecially here. Even if we take out the horrible road conditions as well asthe erratic style of driving found in many Maltesedrivers, the narrow roads and the serious lack of parking in all maincentral areas will be unbearable. This however gives you more flexibility thatthe traditional bus, but is of course a more expensive option.

3)     Cab and taxi  – Whereas publictransport is crammed, and often has no A/C, private cars have those added luxuries but then again have their own issues,Cabs however provide all the pro’s without all the cons! It’s important to notethat cab companies may be a little pricey compared to the alternatives,especially when driving around a lot, however at the end of the day you getwhat you pay for. Cab companies offertrained professional chauffeurs that pickyou up from ANY location and stop you right at your door. They offer a diverserange of services from corporate accounts to privatetours (and excursions) as well as a friendly and safe environment. And atthe end of the day the prices for cabs and taxis on the whole island arerelatively cheap compared to most other EU countries, which will provide a morecost-efficient and safer service. Cab companies cater for all – whether pickingup a large bubbly family, or the single bachelor coming for the good nightlife.Always choose cabs that have tracked vehicles, with trained and smart drivers,for added safety, if they have online bookings and a 24/7 service, its even better.
