KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Perth
Whether you want to explore the greenery of the many surrounding national parks in Perth, visit the beach, or discover the many hidden gems of the city, with a rental car you can conveniently get to all your dream destinations. While public transport works fine inside the city, any areas outside the center like the Perth Hills or Margaret River, which is 167 miles south of Perth, need to be reached by car.
Start your time in Perth by renting a car directly at Perth Airport. Regardless of which terminal travelers arrive in, car rental service desks can be found in all of them. The companies found here include Avis, Budget, and Hertz, and are located past the Baggage Claim area and arrivals hall.
The most notable difference when driving in Australia compared to most other countries in the world, is that here you drive on the left side of the road. Simply follow cars when you are new to this; getting the hang of it will only be a matter of a short time. Also note that speeding cameras are very common all around Australia, so adhering to the given speed limits is important.
Road conditions can vary from region to region and, even though Perth generally has well-maintained roads, conditions outside the city in particular can worsen, so make sure insurance is taken care of and get informed on whether car underside coverage is included. Also, when driving outside of the city, check whether there is enough gas in the tank, as gas stations can get scarce when leaving any urban setting.
Understanding the major local roads and traffic rules in Perth will make your drive within the city and its environs stress-free. Among them, the Great National Highway is the longest road linked to major roads in Perth, such as Roe Highway and Reid Highway. Avoid driving along Kwinana Freeway and Mitchell Freeway during rush hour to avoid getting stuck in traffic for long hours. St Georges Terrace is the main street in Perth and is lined with some of Perth’s most iconic architectural attractions, including skyscrapers and heritage buildings. Just off the Mitchell Freeway, along Wellington Street, you can find your way to King Street, one of Perth’s popular shopping districts, where you can get more cheap car rentals in Perth.
Once you hire a car from any rental location in Perth, you can easily drive along the many scenic routes because it’s not as congested as major cities like Melbourne and Sydney. From Perth, you can drive for about 2 hours to Pinnacles, which is in Nambung National Park, where you can enjoy panoramic ocean views or go scuba diving, kite surfing, or fishing at Cervantes, near the park. You can go on an even longer drive on the Kwinana Freeway to Augusta and head to Yalgorup National Park, or south on Forrest Highway to pass by the Preston beaches. Other attractions along this route are the Dolphin Discovery Centre and Bunbury, and farther to the Jewel Cave and Ngari Capes Marine Park in Augusta.
If you’re driving an electric car from Perth car rentals, you can find EV-charging points distributed all over Perth, some in shopping centers, car parks, and restaurants. There are four EV-charging stations in Central Perth found at the Citiplace Community Centre Parking Lot, the City of Perth Parking Lot along Pier Street, the City of Perth State Library, and the Perth Cultural Centre. There is a free EV-charging station located at His Majesty's Carpark along Murray Street.

FAQs about renting a car in Perth
What type of car is recommended for driving in Perth?
As parking can difficult in Perth, opting for a compact car is advisable. Choosing a 4-wheel-drive car can also bear advantages when planning trips out of the city. As drivers sit on the right-hand side, the gear shift has to be used with the left hand, so drivers who are not used to that should go for an automatic car.
What’s the speed limit in Perth?
Speed limits in Australia are given in kilometers per hour. Unless posted otherwise, regulations are 40 km/h (24 mph) in school zones, 50 km/h (31 mph) in residential areas, 70-80 km/h (43-49 mph) in two-lane country roads, and 100-110 km/h (62-68 mph) on freeways and bush roads. Note that posted signs are on the left side of the road rather than the right.
Where are the best places to park in Perth?
Street parking in Perth can be tricky and on the expensive side, so, if possible, opt for accommodation with a parking space included.

What road should I be extra careful on in Perth?
Australia is known for its wildlife population in unrestricted areas. New Lord Street near Whiteman Park has been labeled “a death trap,” as kangaroos stray onto roads, causing accidents. Avoid as much as possible driving along these routes at night. Opt for roads with kangaroo-crossing signs on the road, such as State Highway 1.
I was not fully aware or properly notified when making the booking that we would be allocated an all-electric vehicle. In the end it was fine, but traveling long distances in the outback can be challenging with this type of vehicle. Customer should be better notified when they make these selections or when such cars are allocated to them.
ordered a "Luxury SUV" though Europcar received the order as a "standard". they eventually honored the original order, but it took quite a bit of effort and management overrides.
Like, nothing. They ask me to move to other rental site because they don't have the car, and I must spent $40 to Uber since they won't help me with anything.

I left my bag in the car on return. Bag was found and returned but I had over $400 stolen. Police report made. Does not reflect well on their staff
You cancelled our booking that we'd made a few months before. So, no it wasn't that great. Sorry, but you didn't even say why properly?
