On average, car rentals at Perth Airport (PER) cost around AUD $124 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals available from AUD $26 per day.
Compare prices online before you land. Seeing all your options in one place is the easiest way to find a deal. You can compare different car types and pickup locations around the airport to find what works for your budget.
Look beyond the terminal. Companies a short, free shuttle ride away from Perth Airport can be a lot cheaper. You trade a few minutes of convenience for some serious savings.
Fill the tank yourself before returning. The car needs a full tank when you bring it back. Use a petrol station just outside the airport (like on Fauntleroy Ave) to avoid paying the rental company's higher refuelling fees.
Book ahead for school holidays. If you're visiting Perth during peak times like December-January or school holidays, booking your car early can lock in a much better rate. Last-minute prices can get pretty wild.

Local Driving Rules to Note:
Do I need to provide my flight number when booking an airport rental? Yes, providing your flight number is a good idea. Rental companies use that to get ready for your arrival and will usually hold your booking if your flight is delayed and the desk is still operating. If delays push your arrival past normal operating hours, you'll need a pre-arranged after-hours pickup (where offered) or collect the car the next morning.
How long does the pickup process take at Perth Airport? During quiet times, it's about 15-20 minutes. During peak times (those early morning or evening international arrivals), it can take 30-45 minutes. Having all your documents ready and being part of a rental loyalty programme can speed things up.
Can I pick up a car if my flight arrives after midnight? Most rental desks at Perth Airport close not long after the last scheduled flight arrival (around 11:00 PM). For midnight arrivals, you'll usually need to arrange accommodation and collect your car the next day, or pre-arrange a special after-hours pickup (limited availability and often at extra cost).
Are there any restrictions on where I can drive a car rented from Perth Airport? Standard rentals let you drive on all sealed roads in Western Australia. Driving on unsealed or gravel roads is usually restricted or prohibited by rental agreements, even for AWD/4WD vehicles. There are specific restrictions in remote areas and off-road destinations, so always check your rental agreement.
Is it better to book my Perth Airport car rental in advance or upon arrival? Advance booking is strongly recommended, especially during peak seasons (December-January, school holidays, major events). Last-minute airport rentals are usually 30-50% more expensive, with limited vehicle choice and a higher risk of sellouts during busy periods.
