10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Daru

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting the vehicle type and features that suit your needs. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, Expedia’s filters can help you discover the perfect option for your trip.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to reserve your car well ahead of your journey. By booking early, you’re more likely to secure lower prices and a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars typically have lower rental costs and are easier to maneuver and park in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles strike a good balance among affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be accessible. This also applies to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you need to return the car with a full tank to avoid extra fees. This is often the most advantageous option. Other companies may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel choices, which are acceptable as well—just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often incurs an additional fee, but the convenience might justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind in case of unforeseen events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to take long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s license is necessary to rent a car.

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Daru?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a smart choice for your Daru adventure. That's why we recommend choosing collision protection while organizing your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in Daru with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Papua New Guinea, then it's likely you'll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:
  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
