It is recommended to choose a small sedan or hatchback car for driving in Apia as they are easy to maneuver in the city's narrow and congested roads. Additionally, compact cars have better fuel efficiency, which would be more cost-effective given the high fuel prices in Samoa. If you will be driving outside the city, particularly in mountainous areas, it is recommended to rent a 4WD vehicle. The terrain in the rural areas around Apia can be rugged, unpaved, and may require greater ground clearance than is offered by a small sedan or hatchback.
The speed limits in Apia are generally set at 40 km/h (25 mph) in urban areas and built-up zones. On open roads outside of urban areas, the speed limit typically increases to 56 km/h (35 mph) or 72 km/h (45 mph), depending on the specific road conditions and signage. However, it is important to note that speed limits can vary in Samoa, and it is vital to adhere to the posted signs and local regulations.

Pros:
The people at the office in Apia were pleasant and nice to work with.Cons:
There was no Budget office at the airport. There was no shuttle or driver to meet me and take me to their office which is in Apia about 40 minutes away. I ended up paying for a taxi just to go to Apia and get my rental car that was advertised as being available for pick up at the airport. If you rent with Budget, call their Apia office directly and arrange a pickup.10.0 Wonderful
