Yes — a VW Sharan or Ford Galaxy usually suits 5–7 travellers with around 4–5 medium bags, which is useful for a stay in St Julian’s or a self-drive to Mellieħa Bay. For a larger group heading to Gozo for a beach break, the extra space in a Seat Alhambra or Mercedes-Benz V-Class helps keep the trip more comfortable. Avis and Sixt both offer this class at Malta Airport, so you can match capacity to your plan rather than squeezing into two smaller cars.

Airport pickup is usually the better choice if you are continuing to Valletta, Sliema, or the Three Cities, because you avoid a separate transfer and can leave the terminal in one stop. From Malta Airport to Valletta is roughly 8 km, so collecting a VW Sharan or Mercedes-Benz V-Class there can save about 20–30 minutes compared with arranging a city handover. Hertz and Europcar both have airport desks, while city pickups can work if you are staying overnight in Sliema.

Malta’s roads are generally short and busy rather than mountainous, so a longer vehicle like a Seat Alhambra needs extra care on narrow streets in Mdina, Mellieħa, and parts of Valletta. There are no winter tyre issues for normal island driving, but parking and tight junctions near St George’s Bay or the Marsaxlokk waterfront can be easier with parking sensors. Buchbinder and Avis often list minivans with automatic transmission, which helps in stop-start traffic.

The VW Sharan and Ford Galaxy are the safest all-round choices for Malta because they balance cabin space with easy road manners on the route to Sliema or Bugibba. The Seat Alhambra is also a strong option if you want similar practicality, while the Mercedes-Benz V-Class is the premium pick for longer family transfers to Gozo ferry connections. Sixt and Hertz commonly rotate these models, so availability can change by day.

Cars-Scanner compares offers from Sixt, Hertz, Europcar, Avis, and local partners in one search, which often cuts the price by 15–30% versus booking with a single supplier directly. That matters on Malta Airport rentals where the same VW Sharan or Ford Galaxy can be priced very differently depending on pickup time and demand around Valletta or St Julian’s. In practice, you can sort by total cost and choose the best value instead of checking each desk one by one.
