Car Hire


Western Australia being such a large state, you will probably need a car to do your wind-surfari.

Bayswater Car Rental

(contact details)is one car hire company that is currently providing cheap, reliable cars. They seem to have a lions share of the car rental market, and can provide a small car for about $28 / day. They do have an extra surcharge for over the busy Christmas period. They do not supply roof racks however, but these can be supplied by Surf Sail Australia.

Ace Car Rentals

Ace Car Rentals have a large fleet, and include vans and utes. This is an excellent organisation. You can organise your rental before your trip, and pick the car up at the airport. It is an excellent service. You need to book ahead however.

Their web page is is here.

Perth Rent a Car

(contact details) also has cars for hire at slightly greater prices. They have a web page at this link.

Hertz Car Rentals

(contact details) also have vans to hire. The rates may not be as good as some of the other options, however the cars are sound, and the service good.

Camper Vans

Another option, that will also provide accommodation, is to hire a camper-van. There are 2 and 4 wheel drive camper-vans for hire in and around Perth.

Discover West Holidays have a page that details several camper van and four wheel drive options.

Some other possible companies are: (nb. I have not had dealings with these companies, but provide the links in case people want to chase them up.)

NOTE Note that it can be hazardous driving in the early morning and at dusk (and probably much of the night). The country roads can have Kangaroos on them. Some of these animals are quite large, and tend to jump out in front of passing vehicles. Hitting a 'roo can really mess your day.
