KAYAK’s top tips for hiring 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 hire 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 hire 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 petrol in the tank, as petrol stations can get scarce when leaving any urban setting.

FAQs about hiring 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. Metered on-street parking is an option, but keep coins ready as many meter machines to not take credit cards and don’t even give change. Additionally, street parking is usually restricted to a maximum of two hours. Parking lots (called “car parks” in Australia) and garages are an alternative where cars can be parked longer, but they are usually quite expensive (up to AUD$5 per hour, which is about $3.60).
How much does it cost to hire a car in Perth?
On average a car hire in Perth costs R694 per day.
Which car hire agencies are at Perth airport (PER)?
Really great service and receptionist were so welcoming. Bonus point they pick and drop you off at the airport for your flight

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.
