Top tips for renting a car at Apia Faleolo airport
- One reason that so many travelers choose car rental at Apia Faleolo Airport is that there are few options to get from the airport to the center of Apia. While there are shuttle buses, taxis, and public transportation options, these all have drawbacks. Taxis can be quite expensive, shuttle buses can often be crowded, and public transportation can run on odd schedules and may not get you exactly to your destination.
- One of the nice features of car rental at Apia Faleolo Airport (APW) is that they offer rental services from around nine different companies that are a mix of local brands and larger global companies most people are familiar with. Each of the companies has a service counter near the baggage claim, so it is easy to get your keys and be on your way with your Apia Faleolo Airport car rental since all the cars sit right outside the terminal.
- When you are ready to return your car rental at Apia Faleolo Airport, park where you picked it up and bring your keys to the counter inside of the terminal building. While not all of the local companies will have staff outside in the parking areas, larger companies such as Avis and Budget will not only usually have staff in the lot ready to assist you, they have drop boxes where you can drop your keys and your contract and quickly be on your way.
- You should expect to spend some more time picking up your rental car at the start of busy travel periods, like at the beginning of weekends. You will also find an increase in traffic here during the holiday seasons of Christmas and New Years. Many tourists visit to enjoy the festive atmosphere and explore the beautiful Samoan culture. Samoa's Independence Day celebrations in June are a significant draw for visitors. Flag Day on April 17th is another important celebration in Samoa.

Pros:
The people at the office in Apia were pleasant and nice to work with.Cons:
There was no Budget office at the airport. There was no shuttle or driver to meet me and take me to their office which is in Apia about 40 minutes away. I ended up paying for a taxi just to go to Apia and get my rental car that was advertised as being available for pick up at the airport. If you rent with Budget, call their Apia office directly and arrange a pickup.10.0 Wonderful
