Drifter meet and great airport

We used Drifter to collect us for the airport, the driver was waiting in arrivals and just a short walk to the car.
Also used them to drop us into Valetta, collect us on time from the hotel and was exactly where he said he would be when he picked us up
So good we used them to take us the the airport, was looking at a ‘ Bolt ‘ but with there dynamic pricing it was sometimes a lot more expensive

Drifter rip off scammer company

Booked a car with this rip of company at the desk within the hotel, we got the car that day.
It was the crappiest fiesta going, but still we took the car.
The paperwork was done and the guy just Said all you have to do now is sign this to say you have picked it up.
His phone was across the paperwork and he was just pointing to sign here, so yes I did, really I should have insisted on reading it first.
What they don’t tell you as they hide the paperwork is that your deposit of €100 euro, you don’t get back as there is a clause that you pay €23+ euros for them to give you your money back. This is hid from you and you don’t know about it till you are waiting for your money back.
Never would I rent from these people ever, I’d rather walk first.
Total scammers and con artists.
So if you’re thinking of renting from these scammers then think twice, as you will be ripped off.
When you contact by email you are ignored

GOZO private tour

We came from the UK and our tour representative recommended Drifter because we wanted a private tour with a car and driver according to our schedule to go to Gozo.Our tour representative rung Drifter on our behalf from our hotel DB Seabank resort and spa in Mellieha. We got the price of Eur 120.00 for minimum 4 hours where they pick us up from the hotel and drop us off. We only pay for the ferry per person.So we spoke to one of Drifters representative in the lobby of the hotel the next day , she confirmed verbally for a 5 hour trip of EUR 150.00 as she had to speak to her boss/ supervisor.The company had a power cut that day so were communicating via what’s app! Anyway we’re asked to book the next day just in case the weather changed. On the day of the booking the Drifter representative was advised that we had to make our own way to the ferry port Cirkewwa ,pay for the tickets and a Maltese driver will meet us on the other side at Gozo with our name. The driver will drop us off after 5 hours at the ferry port. Than she said we could book a taxi from the hotel to the ferry port for an extra 10EUROS for one way or may our own way. This was so frustrating as It took at least 4 hours of our holiday time within 2 days trying to book this trip . The booking changed!
Anyway we agreed to pay the extra 10 Euros for the taxi as it was taking too much time to drop us off at the ferry port Cirkewwa. On the Next day drifters driver came to pick us up for the whole trip.He got the original schedule of picking us up from the hotel and dropping us off after the tour. He showed us his schedule on the phone with 150 Euros.We went with him and he was exceptionally good at least he knew what he was doing!
The only other thing we were not happy about was that Drifter didn’t tell us that we had to pay for the car!
We gave our feedback to Drifters rep who took our booking but no response.
Overall the communication to book a simple trip with Drifter was very very unprofessional,time wastage and they ripped us off!
We would not recommend this company as management are not efficient.

I highly recommend Drifter Taxi in…

I highly recommend Drifter Taxi in Malta. They are always punctual, reliable, and extremely well-organized, making every journey smooth and stress-free. The drivers are professional, polite, and always appropriately dressed in shirts and ties, which reflects the high standards of the company. Their attention to detail and excellent organization truly stand out. Overall, an excellent service from start to finish!

Fantastic from Start to Finish

Arranged airport transfer through hotel. All communication prior to arrival was excellent. Our flight was late and they were monitoring the inbound flights so even though we were a hour late the driver was there in arrivals as they said in pre arrival email with a sign with my name on it.
Driver was lovely, polite and friendly. Really was a truly seamless experience - highly recommend to anyone visiting Malta.

Disorganised and disappointing

We did not have a good experience with Drifter on our first trip to Malta. We had booked a private car transfer through the Radisson Sands, expecting a smooth and professional service.

The representative first messaged to say he would be ten minutes late due to a traffic diversion. He eventually arrived about twenty-five minutes late, led us to a smart-looking van and loaded our bags. Just before leaving, he received a call from his office and argued loudly for several minutes. He then asked us to get out of the van, saying he had been assigned to another duty and would arrange a different car for us.

We were then made to walk a long way through the car park with our bags in the heat, almost back to where we had started, while he stayed on the phone. In the end, he put us in a Bolt taxi, which we could easily have booked ourselves.

We lost almost an hour because of poor organisation and this was not even peak season. A private transfer should remove hassle, not create it. We would not use Drifter again.

Unlawful retention of deposit

On a holiday in Malta we rented a car from Drifter Car Rentals Co. Ltd. In a parking lot someone must have hit one of our side mirrors, which caused minor damage. This was reported to Drifter, who then withdrew the approximately 1,000 euros in deposit. Subsequently we have asked many times for receipts for the work carried out, as we will need it for our insurance company. However, Drifter refuses to provide any. Perhaps because the small damage was much cheaper to repair - or perhaps it was fixed completely at no cost to Drifter.
I would strongly advise against using Drifter.
