All the car parks in the table belong to Malta Airport and are run by its subsidiary Airport Parking Ltd; the charges come from the parking page of the airport's website, where a calculator works out the bill for any stay. The tariff is built in time bands: once a stay exceeds 10 minutes, the price of the band reached applies in full. After the first 24 hours every additional day or part of a day is charged in full.

The daily charge adds up quickly. By the airport's rule, two days in the surface car parks or in Park East cost €25 plus €40, so €65, and a full week costs €25 plus six times €40, so €265; at SkyParks the extra day costs €50, and a week comes to €325. A car may stay for 30 days at most unless the operator has agreed to a longer stay in writing. The terms mention no advance booking, and the charge is the one displayed at the entrance and on the website.

Tips

Parking at Malta Airport: practical tips

Dropping off costs nothing at Malta Airport if it is quick. Drivers may pull up at the areas marked Passenger Drop-Off opposite arrivals and departures and stop for just long enough to unload bags, and the operator's table puts the drop-off point 90 metres from the check-in counters. Anyone who wants to walk a passenger into the terminal uses the main car park, where the first 10 minutes are free and an hour costs €2.50.

Meeting an arriving flight usually takes longer than 10 minutes, because passengers need time for baggage reclaim and, on flights from the United Kingdom, for passport control. Watch the arrivals board and enter the car park when the flight is shown as landed: up to an hour costs €2.50 and up to two hours €3.50. The speed limit inside the car parks is 10 km/h, cameras with number-plate recognition may be in use, and a clamped vehicle is released for a fee of €50. The parking office answers on +356 2369 6475.

Holidaymakers who collect a hire car at Malta Airport need no parking at all, and for a week on the island a taxi or transfer to the terminal usually costs far less than €265 of parking. This page names no private car parks near Malta Airport, because we could not verify any operator's prices at source. Drivers with reduced mobility find marked bays, which require a valid permit, and assistance call points in the car park tunnel and in the foyer of Park East.
