10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Perth

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for additional space, a convertible for enjoying the summer sun, or an economical car to save money, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary with demand, so it's advisable to reserve your car well before your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to secure lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to navigate and park in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. Those over 70 can also face similar restrictions. Always verify the age requirements before you book.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you need to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is usually the most advantageous option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which can also work, but ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience it offers may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards as a form of payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help protect you from unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind during your trip. It's simple to add car rental insurance when you book through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning on taking long road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Perth?
A thorough insurance policy is a great idea for your upcoming Perth getaway. That's why we recommend purchasing collision protection while booking your car rental with Expedia.

This might be included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in Perth with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Canada, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
