Renting a little runaround in Malta

MrSnake
Alright folks, I'm jetting off to Malta for a bit of sun and history, and I've heard the buses there are a proper pain once you wander off the main drag. Thinking of picking up a tiny motor to zip around the island, but I'm clueless about what side of the road they even drive on. Any tips for sorting this without a fuss?

They drive on the left over there, same as the UK, so take it handy on the first few roundabouts, the rental clutch will take a beating if you are not used to it. The best play is to rent a car in Malta side directly from the airport, just pick the smallest hatchback you can find because the coastal roads are narrow as anything and parking in Valletta or Mdina is an absolute game of Tetris with the walls. You can compare what is available and lock in the price here https://getrentacar.com/en-US/malta .

Do not leave the motor parked in the midday sun without one of those windscreen shades. The steering wheel turns into a branding iron within ten minutes, and good luck holding it on the way to the Blue Grotto.
