YLY Limited

YLY Limited is a chauffeur-driven car service for people who would rather be driven than drive. The vehicles are luxury electric cars, each supplied with a driver, and the service runs 24 hours a day, which suits early flights, late dinners and everything in between. The business is based in Gżira, the waterfront town between Sliema and Valletta.

On VisitMalta.co.uk the business appears in our directory of car hire in Malta. This page sets out what the service offers, how the trip levels differ and how to ask for a journey.

What YLY Limited offers

The core idea is simple: a quiet, comfortable electric car with a professional driver at the wheel. Rather than renting a car and handling Malta's narrow streets and parking yourself, you tell the business where you want to go and when, and a driver takes you there. That is especially handy for a first visit, when unfamiliar junctions, roundabouts and one-way lanes can make driving on the island tiring.

Its approach is personal. The emphasis is on building a direct relationship with each customer and on being reachable at any hour, rather than running a faceless booking system. If you are arriving on one of the evening services from the UK, our flights to Malta guide shows what to expect, and a driver who is available around the clock means the timing of your landing matters less.

Standard, Comfort and Premium trips

Trips are offered at three levels. Standard is the everyday choice for a reliable journey. Comfort is shaped around your own needs and preferences, so it suits passengers who want the ride adapted to them. Premium is built around punctuality, with a team of drivers working around the clock so that you arrive on time.

No prices are printed for these levels, so ask for a quote when you enquire and give as much detail as you can: the date, the pick-up time, where you are starting from and where you are going. If you are meeting a flight, add the flight details, and mention the number of passengers and how much luggage you are bringing, so the right car and driver can be arranged. Passengers can also pay by card in the car, which removes the need to carry cash for the fare, a small convenience when you have just landed and not yet changed any money.

Where the service fits into a Malta trip

A driver is useful in many parts of a holiday. A ride from the airport to a hotel in Sliema and the St Julian's area takes the stress out of the first evening, and an evening in the capital, covered in our Valletta guide, is easier when nobody has to find parking or watch the clock after dinner. For days out, our things to do in Malta page has plenty of ideas, and many of the best sights are far easier to reach with a driver who knows the roads.

If you prefer a guided day rather than a plain transfer, you could also look at A4 Malta DMC private tours and excursions, which is another local business in the directory. For help choosing where to base yourself, see our guide to where to stay in Malta, and check the Malta weather guide before you decide what to plan outdoors.

Getting in touch

YLY Limited has an address on Triq Luqa Briffa in Gżira and a second one in Naxxar, but because the service comes to you, most customers never need to visit it, and the whole exchange can happen before you travel. Send your trip details through the VisitMalta.co.uk enquiry form on this page and we will pass your message to the business, which will reply to you directly.
