Malta airport arrivals

:unsure OK this isn't groundbreakingly important just frustrating, but I move to Gozo on the 28th April with lots of luggage and the flights all arrive at midnight (well certainly from Manchester). I've arranged a hire car for the week but the desk doesn't open until 8am! I'm surprised that they don't have a facility to leave keys or at least arrange something in the airport so that travellers can collect as they arrive.

There must be other travelers like me arriving late and it's bound to get worse as the season starts, I considered checking into a hotel for 1 night but by the time I'd gone through all that hassle I'd be starting back out again.

I guess I'll just have to hang around for 8 hours for the desk to open and drink lots of coffee  :sleep

Move the collection point to Gozo  for the next day and get a taxi to Gozo from the airport.
