Perth Car Hire
Perth is the capital of Western Australia and is interestingly one of the world’s most isolated cities. The sea meets the land in Perth’s harbour, called Freemantle. Perth has miles of clean and untouched beaches to offer lovers of the outdoors and a friendly entertaining city to keep the urban dwellers and younger generations coming back time and time again. Perth’s main airport processes over 11 million passengers a year making it extremely busy considering the city only contains 1.5 million permanent residents. The domestic terminal is also almost 10 kilometers from the international terminal making the taxi and public transport waits extremely stressful when in a rush. Avoid the stress and strain of waiting around on someone else by booking a hire car in advance online and picking it up on arrival from one of the on-site outlets.
Jump in your rental car and hurry along to drop of your bags at your accommodation of choice and start enjoying your trip! Perth is famous for it’s wineries and iconic entertainment district and harbour, Freemantle, often referred to as ‘Freo’ by locals. Book winery tour and tasting, visit some of Freemantle’s popular bars and cafes for a drink and a bit to eat or head off to the beach to catch some rays and earn yourself a well-deserved tan on your trip down-under.
A great spot to catch a magnificent view of the city is King’s Park, south-west of the city centre. Bring a picnic and witness Australia’s wonderful indigenous wildlife as you relax with friends and family (or on your own!) for a pleasant day in the park. If you prefer to keep a barrier between yourself and the wildlife, head to the Perth Zoo which is a great family activity featuring many of the expected things to do at a good zoo like animal petting and hand-feeding. Take some of your holiday cash along and get some photos with the animals so you’ll never forget your trip far west.
Remember when traveling to another city to research in advance and ask locals about any changes or differences in road rules and etiquettes. If you are traveling overseas, ensure you have organised all the necessary legal requirements to drive in another country. Australia is also subject to high levels of UV due to a hole in the Ozone layer in the southern hemisphere, so while tanning is fun and looks great, be sure to use plenty of sunscreen and wear a hat when possible.
