Top tips for hiring a car at Perth airport
Perth is the capital of Western Australia and has a wide array of white sandy beaches, beautiful architecture, opera houses and sweeping views of the city. Car hire at Perth Airport puts you in the perfect position to make your way around the city and neighbouring areas without having to rely on public transport routes or pay exorbitant fees on local travel through the use of taxis. You may want to consider an add-on of a GPS navigation system to make sure you don't get lost in Perth or Western Australia.
When opting for Perth Airport car hire, you will need to consider the cost of parking in Perth. Parking in Perth can be difficult to find and is often pricey, so we recommend making sure your hotel offers free, safe and secure parking to avoid any additional costs. As the majority of street parking is monitored through parking meters, be sure to check the maximum length of stay before parking. If you need to park for an extended period, multi-storey car parks are your best bet for value for money.
If you're hoping to return your car somewhere other than the airport, you may want to look at rental companies that have a terminal counter at the airport as well as an office or centre in town. You'll find several of these options at Perth Airport, including well-known companies like Budget, Europcar and Hertz. With the added convenience of separate offices, you may be able to return the car to a location other than the airport without incurring additional costs.
When flying out of Perth, your international flight will depart from Terminal 1 and you will need to return your vehicle to the return car park at the same terminal. The terminal is located a fair distance away from the car park, so we recommend dropping off your luggage at the terminal beforehand to avoid having to lug your suitcases from the car park to the airport building.

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.
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?
