Kalgoorlie Airport (KGI)

If you're flying into Kalgoorlie Airport (also known as Kalgoorlie Boulder Airport, one of the busiest regional airports in Australia), you might find it most convenient to pick up your car rental there. No need to struggle with luggage or pay for the extra expense of taxis and buses. Arrange to have your Turo host meet you at the terminal building or the short stay car park (which is free for up to 24 hours).

If you choose this option, you'll also be able to skip the queues of the Kalgoorlie car rental counter and the headaches of a traditional Kalgoorlie car rental, and quickly make your way out of the airport terminal building so you can start enjoying your stay.

Once behind the wheel of your hire car, take the short 7-minute drive into town and begin your adventure in the Goldfields.

You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.
