Driving tips for Perth
A valid driver's license from your home country is required to rent a car. If your license is not in English, carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside it. Visitors from the US can drive in Western Australia with a valid US license for the duration of their stay.
Left-hand traffic
Australia drives on the left. Take extra care at intersections and roundabouts, especially in the first few days.
Speed limits
Speed limits are posted in km/h. Urban limits are typically 50 km/h, with highways ranging from 100 to 110 km/h. School zones are 40 km/h during school hours.
No toll roads
Perth has no toll roads, making it one of the most straightforward Australian cities to drive in.
Long distances
Western Australia is vast. Distances between towns can be significant — plan fuel stops carefully on regional drives, especially heading north or east. Always carry water and check road conditions before remote trips.
Wildlife
Kangaroos and other wildlife are active at dawn and dusk. Avoid driving in rural areas during these hours when possible.
Use the SIXT App for mobile check-in, digital contract signing, and to manage your booking on the go.
