Can I request or hire a FT Driver in PNG?

Hi folks...

I may be relocating to POM for a contract but I have a question re: Transport please...

I had some work done on my back (disc) and I prefer not to be driving if at all possible for 3-6 months.
I'm not crippled or anything,, but its recommended I not drive so...

Can (in special cases) someone exist without a car/driver in PNG?
Is it no big deal because the blue-chip firms provide packages which include a driver anyways?
Could an expat exist (recreationally/weekends) without driving (e.g. use friends/taxis/etc)?
If based downtown in CBD/long hours would it make a difference (little time to travel etc) ?

Cheers for any insight you can give me...

PS / FYI
>> I've heard many of car-jacking and holdup stories. (seen similar in Africa etc)
(I know of course it would be far far better to just have a 2nd hand car to be low-key etc) relocation

>> the package for this contract would be the upper end of the scale I imagine
