KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Apia

  • Renting cheap car rentals in Apia allows visitors to move around the city with ease and convenience. Apia has limited public transport options, and taxis can be expensive. Having Apia car rentals allows visitors the freedom and flexibility to visit sights in and around Apia on their own terms. This is particularly helpful for visitors who have a tight schedule or want to explore multiple locations in a day. Some of the places that are worth visiting in and around Apia and are more accessible if you have a car include the Papaseea Sliding Rocks, Sopoaga Water Falls, and Piula Cave Pool. These locations are not easily accessible by foot or public transport.
  • The Apia Faleolo Airport (APW) is located approximately 18 miles west of Apia. It takes roughly 30 minutes to drive from the airport to downtown Apia. When getting Apia car rentals at the Apia Faleolo Airport, it is important to have a valid driver's license and a credit card. Also, you must be at least 21 years old to enjoy a car rental in Apia. Rental car offices can be found in the arrivals hall of the airport terminal. It is recommended to book a rental car in advance, as availability may be limited.
  • Driving cheap car rentals in Apia can be quite different from driving in other parts of the world. Most rental cars offered in Apia are right-hand drive, which can take some getting used to. There are many pedestrians and cyclists in Apia, and they are a common sight on the roads. Drivers should be patient and give these people the right of way when necessary. Additionally, there are many cars and trucks on the roads in Apia, but the most common form of transport is the bus. Visitors may also see motorcycles and scooters on the roads as well.

Rush hour in Apia is generally between 7:30 am to 9:30 am and 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm. Another thing to note is that road conditions in Samoa can be variable, with some roads being in poor condition and others being well-maintained.

The staff was accommodating when we didn't have the cash to pay up front they allowed me to take the car and pay the next day. Even though they allowed me this I think their customer service could be improved by working with a simple smile
