It is a terrible feeling arriving to a foreign country, not knowing  what is what!

When you arrive in Malta from the airport or sea port you will find taxi stands or a taxi bay. The local taxis are painted all white with taxi and their code number on the side of the doors of the passenger and drivers side.

Taxi fares range in price to different locations, but all local "public white taxis" should charge you with the standard rate. Private sector taxis may differ in price so fish around and find the best bargin you can.

Taxis are only recommend at night and when arriving and departing the island, as there is the local bus which is cheaper and more efficient.
