Journey

12–20 min

It loses to the bus at every party size, by EUR 1.50 at eight. EUR 17 seats five; the sixth passenger lifts it to EUR 25.50, and eight TD4 tickets are EUR 24. Its case is the night, the bags and the door.

Buy the ticket at the booth, not from the driver. The regulation requires the pre-paid ticket where a booth operates and forbids the driver to take the hire without it; the fiscal receipt half is yours to keep.

EUR 17 is the legal maximum for the ticket to Valletta. If the booth quotes less, pay less; if a driver asks for more than the ticket, the regulation is on your side.

More than five passengers costs half as much again, EUR 25.50, and Transport Malta says the rule "applies only to taxi vehicles which may legally carry more than 6 people"; ask the booth for one. Two ordinary cars are EUR 34.

The fare is by locality, not by zone: Floriana and the Cruise Terminal are EUR 17 like Valletta, but Sliema is EUR 20, St Julian's EUR 21 and Msida EUR 19. Say the town, not "the center".

No authority publishes a taxi journey time. The 15 minutes here is the TD4's timetabled 11 to 17 over the same road; allow more at the morning peak.

Between 00:50 and 05:20 it is the only thing that leaves, at the same EUR 17: the table has no night rate.
