Get around Gozo
The bus system is possibly even more antiquated than on Malta proper, with plenty of the same quaint 50's style buses to take you around at a leisurely pace. All buses depart from the bus terminal in Victoria/Rabat and go to most villages around the island. Be very sure to check the timetable to make sure you can get back when you want to, as sometimes buses will go from Victoria and not make a return trip. A bus fare is a mere €0.48 one way, though you may also be charged the same amount for your bags.
The taxi drivers are unscrupulous, and will try to charge the unsuspecting tourist as much as they can. There is an approximate price list posted at the taxi stand at the boat dock, and another at the bus terminal in Victoria. Don't accept a price that is unreasonably higher than the suggested price. If you end up taking more than one or two taxis a day you are better off hiring a car.
A car is probably the best option if one has a busy schedule. If not, hitchiking is a nice way to get around.
Even on foot many of the distances are negligible and most of the roads are fairly quiet and pleasant to walk along. There is also a footpath network, though the paths require good shoes and a good map (they are not always very clear on the ground).
By car
If you need flexibility and speed in getting around, your best option is to hire a car. (try TRAC +35699826339 or Mayjo car rentals ). You need to be over 21 years old and hold a valid driving license. It's fine to travel to the mainland Malta with his hired car.
By taxi
You will find white taxis also on the island of Gozo however these tend to be more expensive. It is suggested to prebook your taxi or airport transfer with a local company.
