From its transport roots in 1926 to the acquisition of the Hertz Rent-a-Car franchise in Malta in 1961, mobility has remained an important part of United Group’s development.

Today, Hertz continues that role through rent-a-car and leasing services, supported by one of the largest fleets on the island and serving both individual customers visiting Malta and corporate customers across the local market.
