Rent A Quad Bike

People often want to do different things when they are away on holiday. Things they would not normally do in the humdrum of everyday life back home. Things like parachuting and bungee-jumping! But what if you’re afraid of heights? Well, there are always the safer options of water-skiing and coastal diving. But what if you’re afraid of depths too?

If you’re not keen on heights or depths but are OK with widths then you could do much worse than rent a quad bike. Then again, it’s a blast even if you don’t have issues with any kind of dimensions because this is an activity ideally suited to the Maltese Islands.

These remarkable machines are a brilliant way of getting around, touring the beaches, exploring the island and joining in the general traffic without feeling confined to the restricted suffocating insides of a car. That’s a massive plus in the hot summer months.

Quads are also much safer than bikes and much more difficult to fall off. (Although, from personal experience I can tell you that if you’re exceptionally stupid and generally arse around on them enough then you can manage to turn them over. This does cause the engine to stall but if you’re quick then the rest of the group don’t see you putting it back on its wheels and you get away with it!)

Renting a quad bike in Malta is easy and makes a lot of sense - especially considering the way some of the roads are stuffed full of traffic and smattered with pot-holes. You won’t even notice these with your giant chunky tyres!  

Additionally, the freedom offered by a quad bike allows you to visit some of those nicely tucked away places that are not accessible to bigger vehicles or tour buses. They’re also much easier to park than a car cos you can drive them straight into a space at right angles to the kerb!

Quad bikes can be rented at very cheap rates from all the major holiday areas in Malta and Gozo, and people seem to have grown used to their drilling sound as they politely, sometimes wryly, make way for you to go through. You will need to wear a safety helmet because unlike some countries, this is a legal requirement in Malta.

If you fancy some serious off-road quad action then you can rent a quad bike through our sister site Something Different or even arrange for a guided quad tour on Gozo. Details of the quad options are available on the link below.
