Essential Driver FAQs
What license do I need to rent and drive a car from Jacksons International Airport?
A valid full driver's license printed in English is accepted for stays up to 3 months. If your license is in any other language, you must present an International Driving Permit alongside your national driving license.
Are rental vehicles from Jacksons Airport allowed to travel on all PNG roads?
No. Rental vehicles rented in Port Moresby are usually geofenced to the National Capital District (NCD). Venturing outside NCD on the Magi Highway or Sogeri Road requires advance written authorization from the rental company, as Port Moresby is disconnected from the national Highlands Highway network.
What is the recommended vehicle type for driving around Port Moresby from Jacksons Airport?
A 4WD SUV with high ground clearance is strongly recommended. Urban and suburban roads frequently feature substantial potholes, unsealed stretches, and open drainage channels that can cause undercarriage damage to standard passenger sedans.
What security precautions should I take when leaving Jacksons International Airport in a rental car?
Keep all vehicle doors locked and windows fully closed at all times. Do not leave valuables visible on passenger seats. Avoid stopping for hitchhikers or street sellers at major intersections such as the Erima or 6 Mile roundabouts, and plan all movements in daylight hours.
Where is the best place to refuel my car before returning it to Jacksons International Airport?
The Puma Energy station on Morea-Tobo Road at the 7 Mile junction, less than 1 kilometer from the terminal entry gates, is the most reliable option for topping off your tank to avoid expensive refueling surcharges.
Are there road tolls between Jacksons Airport and downtown Port Moresby?
There are zero toll roads anywhere in Port Moresby or the wider Papua New Guinea highway system. All major arterial routes connecting the airport to Waigani, Boroko, and Downtown are toll-free public highways.
