Driving Tips for Perth
Your adventure begins with Perth car hire. Make sure everything goes to plan by following these tips:
- Speed limits: The general speed limit in the city is 50 km/h (31 mph), whilst on country roads and motorways, it’s 100 km/h (62 mph) and 110 km/h (68 mph) respectively. Around schools and hospitals, the speed limit drops to 40 km/h (25 mph).
- Parking: Perth has both free and paid parking throughout the city. The EasyPark App shows you the one-hour free parking zones across Perth, which is great if you're only looking for a one-hour parking slot.
- Rural roads: If you're using car rental in Perth to explore the nearby countryside, you should be aware that it can become rural very quickly. Keep in mind that petrol stations will be less frequent, so plan your journey accordingly to include a petrol station and travel with an empty petrol container.
- Weather: Western Australia can get extremely hot in the summer months, so it’s important you drive with the air conditioning on and stock up on water before longer journeys.
