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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for warm weather, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your trip.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are more likely to lock in lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically have lower rental costs and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years old may encounter higher deposits or daily charges, and some vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might be unavailable. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which can also be acceptable; just remember to return the vehicle empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help prevent unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking through Expedia is simple and straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, search for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to avoid extra 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 Sim?
A thorough insurance plan is a great idea for your Sim adventure. That's why we suggest choosing collision protection while organizing your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
Can I drive in Sim with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Papua New Guinea, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may 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 getting behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental car.
