Car Hire Perth
from $24* per day

The cost of renting a car in Perth depends on the vehicle type, rental duration, and time of year. At Ace Rent A Car, car hire starts from just $24 per day, with airport car hire specials from $39 per day. Our standard rates include the daily vehicle rate, vehicle registration recovery fee, administration fee, and 10% GST, so there are no hidden surprises at the counter.

Ace Rent A Car has been providing value-for-money car rental in Perth for more than 30 years, with three convenient locations across the city: Redcliffe (near Perth Airport), Victoria Park, and Mandurah. We offer competitive prices, no hidden fees, low damage excess, no credit card fees, and complimentary airport transfers — all of which keep the total cost lower than the big-name rental brands.

Smaller, locally owned rental companies are typically more affordable than the major international chains because they have lower overheads, especially when located just outside airport precincts. Ace Rent A Car’s rates are some of the cheapest in the industry, and we welcome comparisons with our competitors. In the event that you find a lower price for the same model of vehicle, we’ll try to match it or beat it wherever possible.

Mid-week pick-ups (Tuesday and Wednesday) are generally cheaper than Friday or Sunday pick-ups because demand is lower. Booking ahead also helps lock in the best rate — at Ace Rent A Car, quotes are valid for 48 hours and the rate is not guaranteed until you have confirmed your booking, so it pays to confirm early once you’ve found a good price.

Watch out for hidden fees, surprise credit card surcharges, high damage excess, and inflated airport pick-up rates. Also avoid skipping the fine print — make sure you understand the fuel policy, kilometre limits, and additional driver charges before signing. At Ace Rent A Car, we pride ourselves on no hidden fees, no credit card fees, low damage excess and unbeatable prices in Perth, so what you see is what you pay.

Average daily rates in Perth typically range from $40–$80 for a small or medium car, with SUVs, utes, vans and minibuses costing more. Ace Rent A Car sits at the lower end of that range, with car hire from $24 per day. As part of your daily rate, every car rental includes 100 km per day. Every additional km is charged at $0.30, and unlimited km is available as an optional upgrade for hires of 3 days or more.

Picking up your rental car just outside the airport precinct is almost always cheaper than collecting from inside the terminal. Hiring a car at the airport is always more expensive, primarily due to higher costs of operating out of an airport and competing with bigger companies, which can drive prices sky high. Ace Rent A Car’s Redcliffe branch at 17 Ross Dr, Perth Airport WA 6105, is a 9-minute drive from the International and Domestic terminals, with a complimentary 24/7 shuttle service and airport car hire specials from $39 per day.

Tuesdays and Wednesdays tend to be the cheapest days to pick up a rental, while weekends and public holidays are typically the most expensive. Booking outside school holidays and peak tourist seasons (December–January and Easter in Perth) will also help you secure a better rate.

Book directly with the rental company rather than through a third-party site to get the best rate, transparency, and customer service. At Ace Rent A Car, you can get an online quote by completing the booking form on our website, or call our friendly reservations team on 08 9472 4222 to arrange the entire quote for you over the phone. You’ll need a valid driver’s licence and credit card to make a booking.

For the best price and selection, book at least 2–4 weeks in advance, and even earlier (1–2 months) for peak periods like Christmas, school holidays, and Easter. Booking ahead gives you access to the best vehicle range and lowest rates before they sell out. Ace Rent A Car offers flexibility too — you can make changes to your existing booking (subject to availability) at no additional cost right up until the day of collection, and there’s no cancellation fee if you cancel at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled pick-up date.
