Helpfulness
Flights between Europe and Algeria are just TOO COMMON! book it online, go to an agency etc.etc. Contrary to popular belief, the national company, is nice. People are just so full of prejudice and never give things a chance.
Whose fault is it that there's always a few "redneck" passengers who are not used to planes and who will just sometimes make it an awful trip for every1 else!!!
A Montreal-Algiers direct flight is on its' way and should be available within a few months (late 2006?)
Otherwise the boat-ride from Spain or France to Algeria is also very convenient, pleasant, and very affordable.
When in Oran, like in all big cities, the best is to have your own transportation. Otherwise, like you would in most developing nations, hire a driver.
Taxis are just fine too, but the drivers can be very moody and random.. but still, not harmful!
Within in Algeria, there's plenty of flights between various cities and regions; all are affordable (in western, and even in local, standards). The train is just fine as well.

If you are trying to park, you will find a man (Old or Young) helping you do that. He will look after your car and expect a small sum in return, only about 10 or 20 dinars should do him.

It is a busy place with lots of cars, be careful driving. If you're from Rome, I think you'll be just fine... :-)
