Providers can usually differ in their requirement of documents to successfully hire a vehicle in Western Australia, but you always have to show proof of your full and valid driving licence.

Should I hire a car in Western Australia?
Whilst there are public transport options available in Western Australia like buses, trains, and ferries, the most convenient and the easiest option is to rent a car. By renting a car you won’t be limited to visiting some of the top sights and attractions that Western Australia is gifted with by relying on public transport. Drivers will also find that attractions are not all located within close proximity so driving a car makes appreciating these attractions the best choice. Some of the top attractions include Kings Park and Botanic Garden, The Pinnacles Desert, Cable Beach, Lake Hillier, Karijini National Park, Busselton Getty, Cottesloe Beach, Perth Zoe, along with much more.
What is driving like in Western Australia?
Driving in Western Australia isn’t too different to drive in the UK. Those renting a car will need to drive on the left-hand side of the road and will have a wheel located on the right-hand side. Make sure to always give way to the right at roundabouts and proceed with caution. When driving in zones that have high levels of pedestrian activity then expect a speed limit of 40kmh (25mph) or in rural areas a maximum of 100kmh (62mph.) A passenger must always drive appropriately and drive at a speed that is appropriate with the road conditions as the limit of speed is not always signposted.
