About half an hour from Perth, Fremantle is perfect for a quick evening escape. Whether it’s a walk by the ocean or dinner at a local spot, you don’t need a full-day car hire to enjoy it. A short-term hire gives you the freedom to go and return when you want, without the extra cost.
With your own vehicle, it’s easy to enjoy a meal at a riverside winery, take a drive along the harbour, or explore a historic site like Fremantle Prison, all without watching the clock or depending on rideshares.
Short-Term Rentals That Fit Your Plans
Compact cars and SUVs are usually the first choice for quick trips. Daily rates hover around $49. If you book early, especially for quieter months like July, prices can drop to about $29.97 per day. That’s well below the annual average and considerably less than the September peak of $44.21.
Car rental Perth is built for flexibility. Whether you need a car for a few hours or a weekend, the fleet is modern, well-maintained, and priced fairly.
What You’ll Need to Book
To keep things simple at pickup, bring:
- A valid international driver’s license or certified translation
- Your passport or national ID
- A credit card in your name (some bookings may require two)
Please note, we don’t accept debit or prepaid cards.
Easy Pickups and Returns
You can pick up your car in Perth or right in Fremantle’s city centre. We also have locations near Perth Airport. It’s a quick 45-minute drive between the airport and Fremantle. Most rental desks open early and stay open until late.
It’s a convenient option for spontaneous outings or evening plans.
Best Vehicles for Your Trip
Staying local? Go for a supermini or compact model. They’re easy to drive, great on fuel, and perfect for city streets.
For extended drives through WA’s scenic routes, you’ll want something with a bit more room. The Renault Koleos car rental is a frequent favourite, thanks to its blend of comfort, reliability, and versatility.
Stay Road-Ready in WA
In town, the speed limit is usually 50 km/h, while highways allow between 100 and 130 km/h. The legal alcohol limit for drivers is 0.05%. Fuel costs in WA sit at about $0.84 per litre on average, with some variation by location.
Extras You Might Not Expect
Even for one-day rentals, you may qualify for:
- Free upgrades to a higher car class
- Discounts for future bookings
- Loyalty program perks if you’re registered
Keep in mind, these offers can’t be combined.
Why Evening Rentals Work So Well
From heritage sites and ocean views to cozy cafés and local art, Fremantle has plenty to discover. A rental car gives you the flexibility to enjoy it all without the delays of public transport or the unpredictability of rideshare apps.
And that short drive from Perth? It’s a pleasant one, with plenty to see along the way. Your car’s ready when you are, and returning it is just as easy.
Final Word
You don’t always need a full day behind the wheel. Great evenings don’t need all-day plans. Whether it’s dinner in Fremantle or a quiet drive by the sea, our short-term rentals get you there without the fuss.
