Getting Around by Road
Traffic drives on the right. There are more than 150km (93 miles) of paved roads and 200km (125 miles) of unpaved or secondary roads throughout the islands.
Bus: A local service operates between the airport and the centre of Pago Pago. The Aiga bus operates an inexpensive but unscheduled service between Fagatogo and outlying villages. These buses are quaint and are often an experience in themselves, usually lively and decked out in stereo or video systems.
Taxi: Plentiful; the government-fixed fares are displayed in all taxis.
Car hire: Available; local companies impose a minimum age of 21 for drivers.
Documentation: An International Driving Permit or valid national driving licence will be accepted.
