Visiting during the busy whale shark season (March-July)? Book your car months ahead to avoid peak prices. For travel during other times of the year, you have more flexibility.
Check prices for rentals located in Exmouth town, not just at the airport. An off-airport car can be cheaper, but you'll need to factor in the shuttle bus cost (about $40-50 per person) to see if it's a real saving.
A standard 2WD car is all you need for the main attractions like Turquoise Bay. Don't overspend on a 4WD, and a smaller car will use less of that pricey Exmouth fuel.
Always fill up the fuel tank yourself before you return the car. Choosing the prepaid fuel option at the rental counter is convenient but usually costs you more.
