renting a car

hi
i'll be in samoa nxt wk and jus wanted to see if anyone has any suggestion and/or tips of any good car rental companies. lookin to rent for about 5 - 7 days, cheap, reasonable and good quality/condition.

any tips would be great.

There's many to choose from, but the problem is that I don't remember the names. Sorry about that, but I can tell you that in Apia you can get a car from 95 talas (4 days and more) and up to 120 talas. Upolu's companies (Apia) are ok. But I don't recommend PK renting on Sava'i because their car are wreck (the one we rented had 140,000 km, bad brakes and the "check engine" light on. And it's cheaper on Upolu anyway (150 talas per day in Sava'i). If you want to go to Sava'i you can bring your car to the ferry boat (I think it's 90 talas one way for the car).
