• Expect a one-way taxi ride to cost ~A$25 between the domestic terminal and the city, ~A$30 for the international terminal
• The Perth Airport City Shuttle takes you to/from several Perth locations near various accommodation and services all flight times. It costs A$15 one-way/A$25 return (domestic) and A$20 one-way/A$30 return (international) for 1 person, getting cheaper for more people. Pre-booking is possible
• Further afield shuttles are also available to/from Fremantle and Scarborough

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. 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$24-26.40/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 larger cars, can be cheaper than Big Boys. Either 120km/day or unlimited

For larger sizes like Standard Toyota Camry and above that Bayswater does not carry, give Bargain Wheels a check. Their standard inclusion is only 120km/day (23 cents/extra km) but keep a lookout particularly for specials where they include unlimited km’s in their quoted price. It can 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.

For car hires under 3 days or standard-sized cars and larger, you’ll find the Big Boys of Avis, Hertz, Budget, Thrifty and Europcar offer decent prices (read more on comparing these companies here). For longer rentals or smaller cars, we strongly recommend having a look at the best two independent companies serving the Perth city, particularly Bayswater Car Rental. As always, while we provide the key highlights, do ensure you find out their latest terms and conditions.

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

Best value. Toyota Corolla Hatch & Sedan only. Excess reduction included free. Unlimited km’s

The clear winner for best value and lowest prices, this is the company to go for if you’re happy with a Toyota Corolla hatch (compact) or sedan (mid-sized). Not only are their 3 day or more car hires with unlimited km’s cheaper than anyone else, but they also come with a reduced Collision Damage Liability of only A$300. All other companies have a CDL commonly around A$2750 and then charge you between A$12-26/day extra to drop it down.

Besides their Perth city depot, they have two others – one just to the west of the city in Subiaco and another further out in south-west Fremantle. Note that you can only pickup your car during their opening times: Mon-Fri 8am-6pm, Sat 8am-noon, Sun 9am-11:30am (Perth depot only), closed on public holidays. Excellent value.

Bargain Wheels Go To Site

Check for standard-sized cars and larger. Either 120km/day or unlimited

If the cars offered by Bayswater are too small, Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz or Thrifty are hard to beat. However, Bargain Wheels can sometimes bag you lower prices especially when there are offers extending the typical 120km/day inclusion to unlimited km’s. Naturally if 120km/day is adequate for you, all the more you should check their rates.

We do suggest you compare the Big Boys’ prices to the ones you find here since if the savings are marginal, you may want to stick with the known brands instead.

Each booking has links to Supplier and Rental information. Be sure to go through them so you can ascertain what value you are really getting from their prices.

The smaller independent companies can be cheaper (especially for airport car rentals) but either way, you should get the best price offered by Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, and Thrifty to use as a benchmark.

After finding the lowest prices here, remember to check all the car hire coupons we’ve compiled to see if you can bag yourself further bonuses and discounts. Then after booking, be sure to apply our tips for saving $100s on car hire insurance by bypassing the car hire companies.
