Not too small... Not too big... Intermediate is the Goldilocks of rental cars. Hop behind the wheel and you'll soon find out why this is the most sought-after car rental category in Papua New Guinea. Smaller than a standard car, they're awesome for navigating the tight streets of Port Moresby and Lae. And while they may be a little smaller than some, you'll be bowled over by the amount of luggage you can squeeze into the trunk.It's always fun to get out of the city for a while, and if you do, get set to be richly rewarded. With mangroves, sandy shores, and valleys to take in, Papua New Guinea knows how to do an exciting day trip. A bigger vehicle like a four-wheel drive or an SUV will give you and the family more space and comfort for those long, scenic drives.
