Frequently asked questions

MLA → St Julian's: common questions before booking

Straight answers to the most frequent questions when travellers compare transport options between Malta Airport and St Julian's.

How long does it really take from Malta Airport to St Julian's?

Most of the time the transfer takes between 20 and 30 minutes from the moment you leave the arrivals area until the vehicle drops you off in front of your accommodation. In the early hours of the morning it is usually a little faster, and at peak times it may take a few extra minutes due to traffic near the nightlife area.

What is the approximate price of a private MLA → St Julian's transfer?

The price depends on the type of vehicle, the season, the time of day and the extras selected. As a guideline, a private car for 1–3 passengers usually starts at around 32–40 €, while a minivan for 4–7 passengers starts at 45–60 €. In the booking form you will always see the fixed amount before confirming.

What is the difference between taking an airport taxi and booking a private transfer to St Julian's?

The airport taxi runs on a meter or official fares and usually involves queuing at the taxi rank. The private transfer is booked before you travel, has a fixed price per journey, includes meet & greet at arrivals and uses your flight number to adjust the pick-up time. For families, groups and late-night arrivals it is usually a more comfortable and predictable option.

What happens if my flight is delayed or lands earlier than scheduled?

During the booking you provide your flight number. The provider monitors the actual arrival time and adjusts the driver's schedule within a reasonable margin. This way the vehicle is coordinated with the time you actually come out of the terminal, without any surcharge for small timetable changes.

Can I book only the arrival transfer or also the return St Julian's → MLA?

You can book just the arrival transfer or both arrival and return. Securing the return transfer as well guarantees vehicle availability on your departure day and a pick-up time tailored to your flight schedule and the advance time recommended by the airline.

What if my hotel in St Julian's is on a very busy street or has limited access?

In areas with restricted traffic or narrow streets, the driver will drop you off at the closest permitted point, usually a loading/unloading bay or an accessible corner. Many accommodations provide specific directions that are passed on to the driver to make arrival easier.

Group transfer, event or special trip to St Julian's?

OUR CUSTOMER OPINION

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!

We arrived by train to Granada and we wanted to go to Jaén and they drove us in time and safely. I will use them again. Congratulations on your work.

We booked a tour to visit Toledo and Segovia, and honestly, the service was phenomenal. The driver was pleasant and the customer service was exceptional. We requested a two-hour extension and there was no problem at all; they were quick to make the change. Definitely a company we would use again.

Fantastic transfer from Milan Malpensa airport to Tasch. We wanted to go to Zermatt and they informed us that it is not possible and gave us the instructions to arrive there.
(12/19/2025) Emily Russell
We booked the transfer from Heathrow airport to Covent Garden and the driver was in the hall waiting for us. We booked a standard car but we were picked up in a Mercedes gamut car, with no additional cost! It was such a good transfer, we will book again with them when we come to the UK.

Thank you once again for your efficiency and customer service. Our pickup at Barcelona Airport by Jorge was seamless. Jorge also drove us on our Barcelona tour the following day. He was funny, kind and very attentive to us as well as a great driver. The next day he was again our driver to the cruise port. We enjoyed him so much.
