Top tips for hiring a car in Margaret River


With well-maintained, wide roads, it's great to get around Margaret River by car. However, you should take note of some key tips for a safe and pleasant journey.


Margaret River road rules and driving conditions


Driving side: Like the rest of Australia, you'll be driving on the left-hand side of the road in Perth and Margaret River.

BAC limit: WA follows a strict blood alcohol content (BAC) limit of 0.05 for fully licensed drivers.

Child car seats: Children under seven years of age must be secured in a properly fastened and adjusted child restraint or booster seat.

Speed limit: Speed limits on WA roads are clearly signposted. In areas without signs, the default speed limit is 50 km/h in built-up zones and 110 km/h in rural zones. You should adjust your speed to suit different road conditions and weather, especially in rural areas with wildlife crossings.

Road conditions: Main roads in Margaret River are usually sealed and in good condition. However, you might find compacted gravel or dirt roads on some of the smaller roads. It's also especially common on the roads leading to natural attractions.


Are there toll roads in Margaret River?


There are no toll roads around Margaret River or in the rest of WA.


Petrol stations and EV chargers in Margaret River


There are ample petrol stations around the Margaret River region. You'll find several within town areas (like Margaret River, Busselton, and Dunsborough) and along main roads like Bussell Highway. EV chargers are also easy to find within the town areas.


Do I need to rent a car in Margaret River?


It's best to hire a car if you want to explore Margaret River and surrounding areas. This way, you can visit attractions at your own pace without having to worry about catching public transport or expensive rideshare costs. As this is a regional area in Western Australia, public transport may not be as reliable as well.

Is Turo a rental car company?

No. Unlike rental car companies, Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where you can book directly from trusted local car owners in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Turo does not own any vehicles — Turo hosts share their own personal cars and set their own prices, discounts, vehicle availability, and delivery options.

Is there a fee to add additional drivers to my trip?

There is no fee or additional charge for adding a driver to your trip on Turo. Only the guest who booked the trip can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add any additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests in Australia can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s licence and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

Can I book a long term car hire in Margaret River?

Yes, many Turo hosts offer long-term car rental deals in Margaret River and Perth ranging from a few weeks to even months.

Can you hire a car on your Ps in Margaret River? 

No, you can't hire a car on your Ps in Margaret River. To hire a car on Turo, you must have a valid full licence - no provisional or conditional licences are accepted.

Do I need to be a certain age to hire a car in Margaret River? 

The minimum age to rent a car in Margaret River on Turo is 21 years of age, with all drivers under 25 years old being subjected to an extra cost of $15/day (a.k.a the Young Driver Surcharge). Plus, if you're looking to hire certain vehicle classes, you must be 25 or older to book a Deluxe Class vehicle, and 30 or older to book a Super Deluxe Class vehicle.
