Can I hire a 4 WD in Lae?
As the roads are very rough and often little more than a bush track most, if not all, hire companies will have rugged vehicles for hire. I would not recommend using a 4WD offroad and alone as you are entering the unknown. If you do go it is wise to travel in a group with other people who know the area.

There is also Thrifty but I can not remember if they have a branch in Lae. Would you want to pick it up from Nadzab or will you have a lift from the airport to Lae itself.
Hertz don't mention 4WD but as mentioned above I would think they would have them. Avis mention a pick up service from Nadzab to Lae. Lae to Nadzab is about 45 kilometres.
