30mins and 3phone calls waiting to pick up booked vehicle.
Pros: Received standard upgrade as only a handful of cars in lot.
Cons: Waited after a long haul flight to pick up a vehicle that had been booked. Called multiple numbers on the service desk who tried to track down the service rep. Dude rolled in smelling like cigarettes like he had just arrived from a big night out (it was 12pm on a Sunday). Meanwhile all other rental service desks are open and professional watching us. Vehicle still had empty bottles in it from the last customer.

Book Direct
Pros: I love to the car I got. It was perfect for my needs and served me well during a 3 Week Rd. trip in Western Australia. Hertz did right by me.
Cons: there was some small damage to the car, and because my insurance is through a third-party, now I have a hassle on my hands. I think it's worth it to book directly considering how much the coverage costs and is at this point totally wasted money. If the third-party insurance actually comes through and pays for what they should pay for, I will feel differently. But for now I wish that I just booked directly through Hertz.

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.
- 25% of our users found a car hire in Perth for $24 or less
- Book your car hire in Perth at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Off-airport car hire locations in Perth are around 19% cheaper than airport locations on average

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.
How are gas prices in Perth?
Petrol prices in Perth vary and are usually more expensive on weekends and public holidays. The average price is around AUD$1.50 per liter ($1.09 per ¼ gallon, or $4.36 per gallon). The metro area in Perth usually features the cheapest petrol stations, with prices increasing further out of the city. Also bear in mind that petrol stations become less frequent once out on the rural roads, so refueling beforehand is important.
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).
