Frequently asked questions

Malta airport transfers: common questions before booking

Is the transfer from Malta Airport private or shared?

All our Malta airport transfers are private: the vehicle is booked exclusively for your group. Journeys are not shared with other passengers and you go directly from the airport to your accommodation with no intermediate stops.

What happens if my flight to Malta is delayed?

We monitor the flight number to check the actual arrival time. If there are early or late arrivals, we adjust the pickup at no extra cost within a reasonable margin. Your driver will be waiting for you at the arrivals terminal even if the plane doesn’t land at the scheduled time.

Can I book child seats for my transfer in Malta?

Yes. We have approved child seats and boosters for all ages. You just need to indicate the number and approximate age of the children during the booking so that the vehicle is prepared with the right equipment.

How far in advance should I book my transfer in Malta?

It is advisable to book as soon as you have your flights confirmed, especially in high season. Even so, we usually have last-minute Malta airport transfers available, especially for sedans and minivans, as long as there are vehicles free at the desired time.

Are the drivers authorised to operate transfers in Malta?

We work only with our authorised and licensed drivers to operate private passenger transport in Malta. All vehicles have valid insurance and undergo the necessary inspections to operate with total safety.

You can pay by credit or debit card during the online booking and, in some cases, by bank transfer. On the form you will always see the available payment options before confirming your transfer.

How much luggage can I take on my transfer in Malta?

The luggage limit depends on the type of vehicle you choose. As a reference, cars accept 2–3 large suitcases, minivans up to 7–8 and minibuses and coaches can carry bulky luggage. Always indicate the number and size of suitcases so we can assign the right vehicle.

Can I book only the inbound journey or also the return transfer to Malta Airport?

You can book only the arrival transfer or a round-trip service. Booking both journeys at once allows you to schedule pickup from your accommodation on the day of your return and secure availability at the times that suit you best.

Is it possible to modify or cancel my transfer booking in Malta?

Yes. For most services you can modify or cancel free of charge up to 48 h before the pickup time. If you need to change time, flight or address, just contact our support team indicating your booking reference and we will let you know whether the change can be made or not.

OUR CUSTOMER OPINION

Excellent transfer from Porto Airport to Tui. The driver was already waiting for us when we arrived, so we didn’t have to wait at all. Very professional service and a comfortable, smooth journey. Highly recommended.

Fantastic transfer from Bilbao airport to San Sebastián. The driving was perfect and very polite driver.
(02/25/2026) Dean Smith
Fantastic transfer from the airport to our villa in Torrevieja. The driver was waiting for us despite the late arrival of our flight to the airport, very comprehensive. I will book the transfer back with them.
(02/23/2026) Kathy Connery
Very good service and attention. Due to the windstorm, our flight had problems arriving in Alicante, but they adapted to our flight delay at all times and were patient while we went through customs. In addition, although there was strong wind, the driver was careful to take us to Denia safely and without complications.
(02/13/2026) Cas Flannigan
After what happened on the train, we were afraid we wouldn't be able to get to Madrid to catch our flight back to Dallas, and it was a great help to have recommendations on timetables and vehicles to get there, taking into account all the luggage we were carrying. We will definitely be counting on you for our next holiday in Spain.
(02/11/2026) Rose Wilson
Fantastic service in Berlin. The driver drove us around the city to visit the most important places and he was so helpful, showing us the most important and telling us where we can stop for lunch during the tour.
(02/04/2026) Dominic Harley
Excellent service in Paris. They picked us up at the terminal with a sign, as promised, and were easy to spot when we left the airport hall, in my case Charles de Gaulle.

A few days later, they took us to Disneyland Paris. The journey went very smoothly and the driver offered to give us directions to other places to visit during our stay.
(01/26/2026) Joe M Miller
We booked a tour to visit the tulip fields and windmills of Amsterdam, and honestly, we couldn't have made a better choice. Pieter, our driver, also acted as our guide, even though he didn't have to, and took us on a route that made the day even more beautiful. My congratulations on such excellent service.
(01/17/2026) Terri Simmons
We travelled to Ljubljana and the driver waited for us, even though our flight was delayed by an hour, patiently until we could collect our luggage and meet him. He also told us about places we could visit in the area and helped us with our luggage.
We also made the return journey, in this case leaving from Trieste airport.
Booking with Zonetransfers was a great decision, and we will definitely use them again.
(01/09/2026) Daniel W.
Such an amazing transfer, excelent driver, good car. She was waiting for me in the airport when the flight arrived, in fact, she also texted me to inform that she was the driver and the exact location where she was waiting for me. Luxury service at economic price!
