Top tips for hiring a car in Fremantle
With great road conditions and wide streets, Fremantle is a great place to get around by car. However, you do need to take note of some key tips for a safe and pleasant journey.
Perth 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 Fremantle.
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 Perth's 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 when you're in rural areas that may have wildlife crossings.
Road conditions: Roads in Fremantle and the Perth metropolitan area are usually sealed and in good condition. However, if you venture out to more rural parts of WA, expect gravel or dirt roads if you're off the main roads. This is especially common along the smaller roads leading to natural attractions.
Fremantle's rush hour and busiest roads
Fremantle is a bustling suburb that attracts lots of tourists and locals alike. The weekends and holiday periods are particularly busy. So you can expect congestion on main roads leading into town like Ord Street, Canning Highway, High Street, Parry Street, and Hampton Road. Give yourself extra time when entering and leaving the suburb during these periods.
Are there toll roads around Fremantle?
There are no toll roads around Fremantle or in the rest of WA.
Parking in Fremantle
Parking can be extremely limited in Fremantle during the peak period. If you're unable to find street-side parking, you can try parking garages like the FOMO car park and Paddy Troy Mall Parking.
If you're heading there on weekdays or when it's not the holiday season, you should be able to find parking along the street. But remember to read the parking signs along the road carefully when using lots along the street as many are for short-term periods.
Petrol stations and EV chargers in Fremantle
There are eight petrol stations within the suburb of Fremantle, so you won't have to worry about finding one near you. There are also five EV chargers around the area which you can find on Plugshare.
Do I need to hire a car in Fremantle?
The best way to explore Fremantle is by car as you'll be able to visit attractions at your own pace without having to worry about catching public transport or expensive rideshare costs.
