Malta Airport to Valletta: €17 Taxi, €3 Bus or Transfer

Valletta is about 7 km north of Malta International Airport; the transfer quote gave 11 minutes by car, longer at rush hour. The TD4 airport bus also continues to the Gozo fast ferry terminal in Valletta.

Taxi

Airport taxis charge a fixed fare per car instead of running the meter: €17 to Valletta and €17 to Floriana, just outside the city gate. You pay at the taxi booth in the arrivals hall or book through the Malta Taxi app. The airport adds an administrative fee it does not specify, and the fare list it published has since been taken down, so confirm the price at the booth.

Bus TD4

The Airport Direct route TD4 runs to Valletta and on to the Gozo fast ferry terminal every 30 minutes, for €3 per person, paid on board in cash or by contactless card. It is the cheapest way in, and the simplest if you are heading straight for the fast ferry to Gozo.

Ride-hailing

Bolt, Uber and eCabs also operate, with prices that change with demand; their drivers collect passengers in the airport's main outdoor car park, not at the arrivals rank. See our Malta Airport taxi guide for the fixed fares to every town.

Taxi or transfer?

For Valletta the fixed taxi fare is the cheaper car: a pre-booked transfer was quoted at €26 for a sedan. Book the transfer if you want the car confirmed in advance with a driver meeting your flight; otherwise the taxi booth or the TD4 bus will do.
