Public Service Garage Reform

The Authority for Transport in Malta regulates the registration and licensing of garage hire (chauffeur-driven) vehicles, vehicles for hire or lease, and operators of such vehicles under one licensing regime termed the Public Service Garage (PSG) Permit System.

Therefore, these regulations set forth the aim to streamline and raise the standards and regulation of this sector to the level of other passenger transport sectors that have already been reformed by the Authority and which are regularly updated. In order to properly achieve these aims, it is strongly felt that the regulation of chauffeur-driven services should be separated from that of vehicle rental and leasing (self drive) services.
