Driving tips for Perth and WA
Whilst city roads and motorways are comparatively wide in Perth, secondary roads outside of the city can skew narrow.
Traffic isn’t as bad here as it can be in some of Australia’s other major cities, but there is congestion during peak driving hours: avoid these times if you can.
If you’re heading out of the city in your Perth Airport car rental, it is strongly advised to avoid travel at dusk, dawn, and after dark hours. Once you get into rural areas, wildlife is most active at these low-visibility times.
Rural areas of WA have fewer service stations, and they often close earlier. Plan ahead to ensure your fuel tank is topped up enough to get you where you need to go.
