KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Exmouth
Exmouth is surrounded by national parks, beaches and the beauty of the Australian outback. However, it is also a tiny town in a vast region, meaning these attractions are all greatly spread out. Finding cheap car hire in Exmouth is a great way to see everything you want to see in your own time and in your own way. It also gives you the opportunity to take short scenic road trips, like the 150 km trek between Exmouth and Coral Bay, or explore even longer stretches, such as the 1,242 km of coastal road that connects Exmouth and Perth.
Exmouth has one airport, Learmonth Airport (LEA), which is located on the RAAF base. All commercial flights arrive at the Qantas terminal, and you will find car hire desks in the arrivals hall. The Exmouth car hire kiosks are usually staffed to meet the incoming flights, but this isn’t always the case, so it’s a good idea to book the car you wish to hire in advance. This will also give you a better chance of getting the vehicle type you want.
There are some dirt roads in the region, like those that lead out to Cape Range National Park, and most car hire companies in Exmouth forbid vehicles to be taken on unsealed roads. So, it’s important to check the exclusions with your car hire company and plan your trips carefully. If you're visiting Exmouth between February and May, it's important to note that this is when the region experiences most of its annual rainfall, so there can be some flooding, even on the highways.
As a small and remote town, Exmouth rarely presents much of a problem with traffic. However, its remoteness means once you venture out of town into the national park, you’ll often find yourself without reception. For this reason, it’s important to travel with plenty of supplies, emergency provisions and hardcopy or offline maps. If you’re planning on taking long road trips, like the 638 km inland drive from Exmouth to Karijini, a satellite phone may even be advisable.
If you want to take advantage of the diving and snorkelling opportunities, it may be an idea to hire a car. You’ll have easy access to sites such as Turquoise Bay, which is around a 45min drive away. Cheap car hire in Exmouth gives you the freedom to explore Cape Range National Park surrounding Exmouth, and in under an hour, you can reach Yardie Creek; here, you may see some of the regional wildlife, including red kangaroos, echidnas and various birds and reptiles.
Exmouth is a rather remote town in Western Australia, so if you have arranged to hire an electric vehicle, be sure to take note of the charging stations available. While the number of charging stations is increasing, it is worth looking at one of the EV charging sites such as Plugshare to check the availability. You may not have mobile phone signal everywhere, so prior planning is necessary. There is a charging point at RAC Exmouth Cape Holiday Park and the next one is roughly 1h 30min away at Ningaloo Reef Resort.
If you are thinking of getting an Exmouth hire car, it is advisable to avoid driving at dawn or dusk in the area due to animals that venture into the road. Look out for signs indicating where there may be animals on or near the roadsides, including cattle and wild animals, and be sure to slow down as you pass through these areas. If you are driving too fast in poor light, you may not be able to stop in time to avoid animals on the road.

FAQs about hiring a car in Exmouth
What type of car is recommended for driving in Exmouth?
Compact cars are ideal for getting around Exmouth and out to the main attractions. Though there are many great four-wheel driving opportunities in the region, most Exmouth car hire companies exclude such activities, so hiring an SUV isn’t generally necessary unless you require the extra room.
