Port Moresby car hire

For driving within the Port Moresby city limits, a compact car is ideal. Not only is this a great way to get cheap car hire in Port Moresby, but it also makes parking and navigating traffic easy. If you need more space or will be travelling outside of the city limits, an SUV may be advisable. This will give you plenty of room for additional passengers and baggage, and you’ll have 4X4 capacity.

All throughout Papua New Guinea, you will find the speed limit is generally 60 km/h in built-up areas. This applies in Port Moresby, where the speed limit is 60 km/h unless otherwise signed. Once you’re outside the city limits, roads like Magi Highway generally have a speed limit of 75 km/h. However, hazards often arise unexpectedly, so you should always be prepared for the need to drop your speed and drive to the conditions.
