About taxi services in Malta
Taxi services in Malta come in a few forms. White taxis wait at stands and at booths, including the airport, and charge by the meter or a fixed fare. Pre-booked cabs and minibuses are arranged by phone or app. Some operators also run school transport, transfers to the Ċirkewwa ferry and minibuses for weddings, events and tours.
Booking ahead matters most for early flights, late returns, groups with luggage, child seats and wheelchair users. Summer weekends and festa nights get busy. For a regular school run, ask about the route, pickup times and who will drive, since the same driver each day helps children settle.
Fares depend on distance, time of day, waiting time, the size of the vehicle, the number of passengers and their luggage, and whether you agree a fixed price in advance. For a minibus or a tour, ask for a price per trip rather than per person, and check whether waiting, extra stops and the return leg are included.

Good to know in Malta
- White taxis in Malta and Gozo are regulated by the Taxi Services Regulations (S.L. 499.59). A taxi, other than an electric mini cab, must be white when it is licensed, and nobody may drive a taxi without a taxi driver permit from the Authority for Transport in Malta, which is noted on the driver's licence. Source
- Each taxi is licensed for either Malta or Gozo and is used only on that island. Gozo taxis may also carry passengers directly between Gozo and Malta International Airport, or between Gozo and a hospital in Malta. Taxis licensed for Malta may not carry passengers between Malta and Gozo. Source
- The regulations set maximum fares for white taxis: fixed fares from listed departure points and metered fares elsewhere. Where a taxi booth operates, you buy a pre-paid fixed-fare ticket at the booth. At the end of a metered trip the driver must give you a fiscal receipt. Source
Questions
How much is a taxi from Malta airport?
It depends on where you are going, the time and the type of service. White taxis at the airport work from a booth with pre-paid fixed fares by destination, which the Taxi Services Regulations set as maximums. Pre-booked cabs and minibuses quote their own prices, which can change with demand, luggage and group size. Ask for the full price before you set off.
Can I get a taxi from the airport to Gozo?
Gozo-licensed white taxis may carry passengers directly between Gozo and Malta International Airport. Malta-licensed white taxis may not carry passengers between the two islands, so they can take you as far as the Ċirkewwa ferry. If you want one car door to door, book a Gozo taxi ahead and ask how the ferry crossing is handled in the fare.
Do taxis in Malta take credit cards?
Some do and some do not, so ask when you book or before you get in, especially late at night or for a long trip. At an airport or port booth you pay for the pre-paid ticket at the booth itself. Whichever way you pay, keep a receipt: after a metered white taxi trip, the driver must give you a fiscal receipt.
How do I check a taxi or cab is licensed?
A white taxi driver needs a taxi driver permit from Transport Malta, noted on their driving licence, and the car needs a taxi licence. For pre-booked cabs and minibuses, ask the operator about their licence and insurance, and check the car and driver match the booking when they arrive. Tminta does not check licences, so ask before you book.
