Perth Airport – Best Independent Car Hire Companies

Updated: January 2011



If you are hiring a car for 3 or more days, you can find better deals than the Big Boys (Avis, Hertz, Budget, Thrifty or Europcar) with one of the following independent companies. Bayswater Car Rental in particular offers outstanding value for renters who want reduced liabilities. Below are their summaries and key highlights but always ensure you check their precise current terms and conditions before booking.

Bayswater Car Rental… a.k.a. No Birds Go To Site

Our #1 pick. Toyota Corolla Hatch & Sedan only. Excess reduction included free. Unlimited km’s

They only carry automatic Toyota Corolla hatches (compact) and sedans (mid-sized) but on those, you’ll find unbeatable prices for rentals 3 days or longer. Their Perth airport depot is located off-site at Bayswater so you’ll have to take a taxi which will cost you approximately A$15 to get there (or back). Yet even after incorporating this extra A$30 charge, they still offer the best value, including an already reduced standard Collision Damage Liability of only A$300 (the Big Boys have a standard CDL of A$2750-3300 and will charge you a whopping A$25-27/day to lower it to A$330).

They also provide the option of returning the car to the airport though at an extra A$50 charge. If you only need a small or mid-sized car, look no further. Note that you can only pickup your car during their opening times: Mon-Fri 8am-6pm, Sat 8am-noon, closed Sundays and public holidays.

Bargain Wheels Go To Site

For SUVs, can be cheaper than Big Boys. Only 120km/day

For SUVs/4WDs, give Bargain Wheels (a car hire comparison engine) a check. They are offered by DriveWest Car Rentals with a standard inclusion of only 120km/day (28 cents/extra km) but if that’s all you need, it might save you some dollars as compared to the Big Boys of Avis, Budget, Hertz, Europcar or Thrifty.

The exact rental details can vary so read the Supplier and Rental Information provided on Bargain Wheels for each car hire option to ensure you fully understand the terms and conditions.
