Private transfers across Malta
Malta is small — nowhere on the main island is more than 45 minutes from the airport — but small does not mean simple. Valletta's streets are largely closed to traffic, Sliema and St Julian's are a maze of one-ways, and a Gozo hotel means a ferry crossing that has to be timed rather than hoped for.
Most Maltese bookings are hotel arrivals in Sliema and St Julian's, cruise-terminal transfers at the Valletta Grand Harbour, and Gozo runs where the driver takes you to Ċirkewwa, onto the ferry and through to the hotel on the other side as one continuous booking.
Drivers are locally licensed, English-speaking (English is an official language here) and drive air-conditioned saloons, vans and minibuses sized for real holiday luggage.
Gozo through-transfers
Airport to Ċirkewwa, across on the ferry and on to your Gozo hotel as a single booked journey.
Valletta & Grand Harbour
Cruise-terminal transfers and drop-offs at the closest permitted point to your Valletta address.
Whole-island coverage
Sliema, St Julian's, Mellieħa, Marsaskala, Mdina and the south — every address, one fixed fare.
Short hops, fair prices
Malta is compact, so our fares are too — no artificial minimum for a 20-minute run.

Malta airport transfer vs bus, taxi and rideshare
Malta airport to Sliema or St Julian's is the benchmark route for most visitors.
| Option | Typical price | Journey time | What to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer (Bacharide) | Fixed, from €32 per vehicle | 20–30 min direct | Meet & greet, flight tracked, free waiting, drop-off as close to your door as the street allows. |
| Airport taxi (fixed-zone) | €20–30 by published zone | 20–30 min + queue | Malta's zone system is honest and posted at the rank, but there is no flight tracking and no waiting. |
| Public bus (X1–X4, TD2) | €2–3 per person | 40–70 min | Excellent value and frequent, but slow, crowded in summer, and hard work with suitcases. |
| Bolt / eCabs | €15–28 app priced | 20–30 min | Widely used locally and usually cheap, though availability thins at very early and very late hours. |

Malta transfer FAQs
How much is a transfer from Malta airport to Sliema or St Julian's?
Private transfers start at around €32 for a sedan and are fixed for the whole vehicle, so a family of four pays the same as a solo traveller. Vans and minibuses are priced at booking.
Can you take me to Gozo?
Yes. We drive you to Ċirkewwa, cross on the ferry and continue to your Gozo address as one booking. The ferry charge is shown transparently in your quote.
How long does the transfer take in Malta?
Nowhere on the main island is more than about 45 minutes from Luqa. Sliema and St Julian's are 20–30 minutes, Valletta about 20, Mellieħa 35–45 and Ċirkewwa around 45.
Do you serve the Valletta cruise terminal?
Yes — Grand Harbour pickups and drop-offs are timed to your sailing, with the driver meeting you at the terminal with a name board.
Is the driver's waiting time charged if my flight is late?
No. We track your flight number and adjust the pickup automatically, with free waiting time after landing included in every fare.

Yes, free of charge and in the correct group for your child. Request them at booking so they are fitted before you land.
