Things to do and places to see in Western Australia

From the remote gorges of Karijini to the turquoise bays of Esperance, Western Australia is made for the open road. It’s the kind of state where the detours are half the adventure, and city driving gives way to wild landscapes within hours. Pick up your hire car from Perth Airport and explore both north and south: Rottnest Island, Wave Rock and the Swan Valley vineyards are just the beginning.

Margaret River

Karijini National Park

Tucked in the Pilbara region, Karijini is known for its deep red gorges, ancient rock pools and secluded waterfalls. Come prepared for hikes — Hancock Gorge and Weano Gorge are unmissable. Located over 13 hours from Perth, it’s a must-see destination for those chasing a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

Margaret River

An easy three-hour drive south of Perth, Margaret River is all about world-class surf, cellar doors and towering forests. Expect winding coastal drives, limestone caves, and quiet picnic spots. A car rental makes it easy to jump between beaches and wineries on your own schedule.

Kalbarri National Park

Set along the Murchison River, Kalbarri blends rugged sea cliffs with arched rock formations like Nature’s Window. It’s a must-stop on the Coral Coast drive, with parking available at major trailheads. Hiring a car gives you the flexibility to explore on your own schedule, without relying on organised tours.

Top tips for renting a car in Western Australia


From city errands to outback adventures, having a car in WA makes every journey easier. These handy tips are here to help you navigate the landscape, avoid road trip hiccups, and make the most of your time behind the wheel.


What documents and paperwork do you need to rent a car in Western Australia?


To rent a car on Turo in Australia, you must create a Turo account, have a valid driver’s license, get approved to drive on Turo, and be 21 years old or older.


When you’re booking your first trip, you’ll go through a quick approval process by entering your driver’s license and some other information. In most cases, you’ll get approved immediately, and you’ll be set for all future road trips, day trips, and business trips.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Western Australia?


Driving in WA is straightforward, but the distances are no joke. Keep your fuel tank topped up when heading to remote towns, and always take water on longer drives. Around Perth, major roads like Mitchell Freeway and Tonkin Highway see congestion from 7:00–9:00 AM and 4:00–6:00 PM on weekdays. Outside the city, you’ll often go stretches without seeing another vehicle, so check your car’s condition before setting off.


Speed limits are clearly signed but vary depending on where you are. In built-up areas, the default limit is 50 km/h unless signed otherwise, while highways and open roads can reach up to 110 km/h. Watch for wildlife at dusk, especially in regional WA, where kangaroos and emus are common near road edges. During summer (December to February), extreme heat can affect road surfaces and your car’s performance, so plan accordingly.


Driving in Western Australia also means long stretches of single-lane roads, especially when heading up north toward Broome or Exmouth. Be patient with road trains — they can reach up to 50 metres in length. You’ll find plenty of rest stops along the way, and most towns offer well-maintained car hire locations, so you’ll stay covered no matter how far you roam.


Are there toll roads in Western Australia?


There are no toll roads in WA. You won’t encounter any tolls in or around Perth, including on the major roads leading to Perth Airport and WA’s southern or northern regions.


Do I need to hire a car in Western Australia?


To explore WA properly, a car isn’t just helpful– it’s essential. With world-class coastlines, ancient gorges and sleepy inland towns scattered across vast terrain, public transport won’t get you far. From the Coral Coast to Kalgoorlie, Karijini to Albany, having a set of wheels lets you chase the adventure wherever it leads. Booking on Turo offers flexible options, better availability and other vehicles to compare at prices that suit every itinerary.
