# Car rental on Apia, Samoa Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / American Samoa
jigjager 15:38 UTC 06 Jul 2015 | Wanting to rent a car for the day while on Apia, Samoa. Is that available? Will be there Oct 22, 2015. |
smandkjc 23:35 UTC 08 Jul 2015 | I am sure a rental will be available but in the past we have just negotiated a rate and hired a taxi for the day so the driver can look after our stuff without worry. | 1

We stayed at the Insel Somethingorother. Can't remember exactly. It wasn't a problem for them to find a car on short notice. Great way to see Upolu-you can easily get around the whole island Ina day. We broke it up into two, coming back to Apia at the end of each. Don't miss the To Sua Ocean trench! | 2
jigjager 23:16 UTC 11 Jul 2015 | Thank you. We are arriving from cruise ship for the day. I have located rental for the day. Your comment confirmed that car rental is for us. I appreciate your suggestion of To Sua Ocean Trench. | 3
atlasandboots 12:10 UTC 13 Jul 2015 | Hi, You're going to love Samoa! To Sua is beautiful. If you have time, try to get to Sopoaga Waterfall viewpoint which is really pretty. Also, we loved the Robert Louis Stevenson museum and short hike up to Mount Vaea. I'm not sure if you'll be able to fit it in with just a day on shore but worth a look if you have some time. Oh, and if you like Indian food, Tifaimoana a few minutes from central Apia is dee-licious. Have fun! Kia, Atlas & Boots | 4
atlasandboots 10:18 UTC 28 Jul 2015 | Hi, We used Blue Pacific when we were in Apia – they were really good. On Savai'i we also rented a car from the Jet Over hotel. Both were very reliable and reasonably priced. For more information about what to see and do check out our Samoa destination guide. Have a great time – we loved Samoa! Peter atlasandboots.com | 5
