Essential info for your campervan rental Perth adventure
Western Australia is a vast, sparsely populated, and beautiful place—and its urban hub is Perth, a laidback and lovely city where you can get any motorhome road trip off to a great start. This is the most isolated city of its size on the planet. Perth’s location far from any other metropolis gives it a personality all its own and a fantastic worldly outlook.
Guide to driving a campervan in Perth
A safe and incident-free road trip is the best kind of road trip. And whether you’re driving in Australia for the first time or driving a campervan for the first time, it’s important to be prepared. To gain some confidence before you embark on your motorhome rental journey from Perth CBD, take a look at our driving tips and brush up on Western Australia's road rules.
- In Australia, all traffic drives on the left—and in the vast majority of vehicles, the driver sits on the right. For international visitors, this can take some getting used to. We recommend that you set aside some time before your departure to practice and get accustomed to driving on the left.
- The staff at the motorhome rentals Perth supplier depot will be your top source of information on your specific vehicle. Pay close attention to the orientation you are given, take notes, ask questions, and don’t hesitate to call or contact the depot with queries or issues while you are on the road.
- When heading into the more remote areas of Western Australia, stock your vehicle with plenty of food and water. You may pick up some groceries from Belmont Forum Shopping Centre. Also, make sure your method of communication is clear in case you become stranded and must wait for help. Take on fuel whenever you have the opportunity as towns can be few and far between.
- In non-urban areas, be aware of the possibility of animals such as kangaroos on the roads.
- The legal limit for blood alcohol concentration while driving is 0.05% in Western Australia, and this is strictly enforced. We highly recommend that you abstain from drinking alcohol entirely before you hit the road in your Perth motorhome hire.
What to see and do with a camper hire from Perth
To help you put together the perfect Perth motorhome rental itinerary, we’ve collected some destination ideas. Take a look and start your planning!
Explore Perth
Before you set off for other Western Australia destinations, make sure to spend some time exploring everything Perth has to offer. A great place to start is Kings Park and Botanic Garden, located on the bands of Swan River. This is a great spot for walking or cycling and will give you a different perspective of the city. After some exercise, you can take in some culture at the Art Gallery of Western Australia. The AGWA has a large selection of indigenous Australian art, as well as twentieth-century Australian and British paintings and sculptures. Lastly, let's not forget the beaches. There's Cottesloe Beach, Swanbourne Beach or Leighton Beach, all stretching along the West Coast of Perth.
Margaret River region
Take State Highway 1 south from Perth and turn off at Bunbury to discover Busselton, Margaret River, Augusta, and the wonderful surrounding region. This is wine country and also home to an array of State Forests and National Parks, so there is no end to places to camp. There are surf beaches, jaw-dropping limestone cliffs, sumptuous cellar doors, and myriad trails for walking or mountain biking. If you have time, you can also go to Avon Valley National Park so you can witness its white water-rapids and a stunning view of the sweeping Avon valley plains. Alternatively, you may also see incredible landscapes, world-class dining and wineries at Perth's Swan Valley, perfect for the whole family.
Esperance
The town called Esperance overlooks a lovely archipelago in the Great Australian Bight, and the area surrounding this beguiling town is packed with equally fantastic views and vistas. Kangaroos commonly lounge on the sands at nearby Lucky Bay, and Lake Hillier behind the town is famous for its puzzling pink hue. Cape Le Grand National Park is a fantastic place to enjoy the sandy beaches and granite outcrops that typify this part of the south coast. Esperance is the centre of an other-worldly part of Western Australia, and well worth a place on any road trip list.
Broome
Driving north along the coast from Perth to Broome would take a full 24 hours of driving if you did it in one go. Most Perth locals recommend you set aside at least a week to make this memorable campervan journey, because you’ll definitely want to stop and enjoy various spots along this jaw-dropping coastline. Kick it off by visiting the community of Benedictine monks at New Norcia. Spend a day or two at Monkey Mia and Shark Bay, feeding dolphins and taking in the spectacular Hamelin pools. Swim with whale sharks at Ningaloo Reef, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And in Broome, you can enjoy the tropical Aussie vibe of the city while riding a camel on the beach at sunset. What a ride!
The Outback
For an inland road trip, head east from Perth and drive as far as you wish to explore. The “Golden Outback” is full of exciting and diverse sights, and a trip from Perth to Kalgoorlie and back will allow you to take in a good amount of it: the famous Wave Rock formation, historical gold mining sites, lakes, wildlife, and vast open spaces. If you’re really up for an adventure, you may wish to seek a permit from Aboriginal landowners to travel on the Great Central Road all the way to Alice Springs. You may also want to consider a 4WD campervan hire for your outback journey!
