The West is Best Seen with a Reliable Car Rental in Perth

See the best of the west at your own pace, in comfort

Perth is the capital of Western Australia, and is the only capital city that lies on the western coastline. Western Australia is the largest state, geographically speaking, in Australia. 

The city is nestled on the Swan River which flows back to the Indian ocean. Perth is home to some of the most spectacular beaches in Australia, and to stars like the late but much loved Heath Ledger. Consequently, it supports a strong music and performing arts scene. Others stars like Ilsa Fisher and the band Eskimo Joe have all started their craft in the west. 

Just because it's far removed from Australia's other major cities doesn't mean Perth shouldn't make your list of destinations.

Things to remember when booking a car hire

1. Book well in advance. Booking your car hire as soon as you know you will need one means you get the lowest rates available, and a larger range of vehicles to choose from. They say that the early bird gets the worm, and that is particularly true of car rental deals. If you are in a hurry and need a car right away, we also have last minute car hire deals to accommodate your needs.  

2. Know your contract conditions. Because of Western Australia's vastness, you may have some restrictions on where you can drive your hire car. It always pays to plan ahead if you are going to take a day trip somewhere. Consult your rental car company or read the terms and conditions to avoid breaching your contract and possibly incurring extra charges. 

3. Enjoy yourself. With the savings you are making of both money and time by comparing rates and booking your car rental with us, you can afford to immerse yourself into all that Perth has to offer. Whether it's hitting the tracks, taking a cruise, or sampling the culture of the area; Perth and the rest of Western Australia is easily accessible if you have a hire car at your disposal.

Best places to visit with a hire car in Perth

Day trips are always a popular and enjoyable option for travellers hiring a rental vehicle in Perth. A short one-hour drive to the hills area will reward visitors with waterfalls and rock formations at John Forrest National Park. The Bibbulmun Tracks are another popular destination and start just thirty minutes south of Perth. A full or half day walk is possible with time to spare for dinner and a drink back in Perth itself.

Locals insist that all visitors should find time to see Rottnest Island. It's only a thirty minute ferry ride from Fremantle and the island is absolutely amazing. While on Rottness Island you can meet an interesting little local called a Quokka. You will easily see that this little macropod is a relation of the Kangaroo and Wallaby. Rottnest boasts some of the most spectacular beaches you'll find anywhere in Australia, as well as amazing holiday accommodation. Your rental car will have to stay on the mainland as you are not permitted to take hire cars across bodies of water, however, bike hire is a popular way to get around the island.
