On average, car rentals in Port Hedland cost around AUD $105.72 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals available from AUD $60.19 per day.
Dodge the airport fees. Picking up your car in Port Hedland town or South Hedland can be cheaper than grabbing it right at the airport terminal.
Book ahead for the busy season. If you're visiting between May and October, locking in your car a few weeks early can help you find a better deal.
Avoid the Monday/Friday rush. Port Hedland gets busy with mine workers travelling at the start and end of the week. A mid-week pickup can often mean a better price.
Staying a while? Look for weekly deals. Renting for five or more days often unlocks better daily rates, so it's worth comparing prices for a longer period.
