Book your car early. Seriously. The fleet in Ceduna is tiny, so booking 1-3 months ahead is a must. This is extra important for travel during the popular May to October whale season.
Stick with a standard 2WD car. It’s all you need for the sealed highways like the Eyre Highway across the Nullarbor, and it will save you money.
Compare a round-trip vs. a one-way rental. Dropping the car off in another town usually adds a fee. A return trip to Ceduna might work out cheaper if your plans are flexible.
Check for unlimited kilometres. You'll be driving huge distances out here. Some deals have daily limits, so lock in a plan with unlimited KMs to avoid extra charges.
