A pre-paid, fixed fare: buy the ticket at the airport booth and hand it to the driver. EUR 17 to Valletta, Floriana or the Cruise Terminal; EUR 19 Msida; EUR 20 Sliema, Gżira, Paceville, Swieqi, Ta' Xbiex; EUR 21 St Julian's and Pembroke; EUR 22 Rabat and Mdina; EUR 28 Buġibba and Qawra; EUR 33 Melliħa; EUR 37 Čirkewwa. For more than five passengers the fare rises 50% (a taxi seats up to eight); no night, Sunday or luggage surcharge, though EUR 4.50 extra applies on 25 December and 1 January. Without a booth the meter runs instead: EUR 3.50 to start, then EUR 2.50 for the first kilometer, EUR 1.60 to five, EUR 1.40 to ten, EUR 1.30 beyond; EUR 25 an hour waiting, EUR 4.20 an hour in traffic.

Worth knowing
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.
