The foundation of Zarb Coaches, or Zarb Garage as most customers know us, were laid in the late 1940s.
It was in 1947 that the founder, Mr Joseph Zarb acquired the first coach after a long service in the transportation of merchandise.
His son Carmelo took over and continued to expand the company by acquiring more Coaches which also required an increase in the work force and has put the company’s name on the map. The demand for private Vehicle hire kept rising and adding the growth of the tourism sector required new and innovative ideas. The fleet grew to more than 20 vehicles made up of coaches, minibuses and Chauffeur driven cars.
At the age of 16 Carmelo’s son Manuel, started working in the garage, at the age of 18 he started to drive minibuses and later he became a coach driver. In 2001 taking over from his father he incorporated the company, to the name of Zarb Coaches Ltd. 2016 saw Manuel Zarb becoming the sole owner and Managing Director of the company. His vision was to create a company that would cater for all the requirements of private transportation, adding new luxury coaches, minibuses and chauffeur driven cars to the existing fleet, thus increasing the reach to all sectors. In 2017 a new company Sharing Holidays Ltd. was introduced and has already started to spread its roots in the tourism sector.
Presently the fourth generation of Zarb, Manuel’s son, Frederick in the role of director is continuing to build the company’s reputation as the leading provider of chauffeur-driven services. Looking forward to future challenges that such sector brings
