Popular Day Trips from Perth

One of the biggest perks of choosing car hire in Perth is the freedom to explore Western Australia at your own pace. Here are some classic drives:

  • Perth to Rottnest Island (via ferry from Fremantle) – Spot quokkas, swim in crystal waters, and cycle the island.
  • Perth to Pinnacles Desert (2 hours) – A unique landscape of limestone spires in Nambung National Park
  • Perth to Margaret River (3 hours) – WA’s most famous wine region, with beaches, caves, and surf breaks along the way.
  • Perth to Wave Rock (4 hours) – A striking natural rock formation shaped like a giant wave.
  • Perth to Kalbarri (6 hours) – A longer trip, but worth it for dramatic coastal cliffs and gorges.

Driving in Western Australia – What to Know

Hiring a car in Perth makes it easy to explore, but here are a few local tips before you hit the road:

  • Drive on the left – Same as the rest of Australia.
  • Distances can be long – WA is huge. Plan fuel stops and breaks for longer drives.
  • Speed limits vary – Usually 50 km/h in built-up areas and up to 110 km/h on highways. Always check local signage.
  • Toll-free roads – Unlike Sydney or Melbourne, Perth doesn’t have toll roads. Easy driving all the way.
  • Wildlife caution – Kangaroos are more active at dawn and dusk, especially outside the city. Take extra care on country roads.
