David was communicative, pickup and drop off was easy with clear instructions, car drove well, overall very satisfied with our experience. Great cost friendly alternative to bigger car rental companies with a lot more flexibility, but come with the right expectations (i.e. don't expect a squeaky clean car)

Ford MUSTANG 2016

Had an absolute blast with this Mustang 🔥 Easily one of the highlights of my trip. The car itself was unreal — clean, powerful, and just a dream to drive around for a few days. You can tell it’s been really well looked after. But what really made the whole experience was the owner. Super easy to deal with, great communication the whole way through, and just an all-round top guy. Made everything smooth from pickup to drop-off. Would 100% rent again without even thinking twice. If you’re on the fence — just book it, you won’t regret it. Thanks Corey!

Mr. John upgraded my rental car free of charge, which let me experience the charm of a GT for the first time. This Mustang made my Great Ocean Road trip incredibly enjoyable. Meanwhile, Mr. John thoughtfully prepared an umbrella and water in the car. I will definitely rent a car from him again when I come to Melbourne next time.

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.

Fremantle day trips: Explore Perth

Once you're done exploring the hippie port town of Fremantle, many more day trips ranging from cruisy wine tours to island adventures await you around Perth.

Margaret River

As the home to several world-renowned and boutique vineyards, Margaret River is a premier destination for wine tasting and luxury dining. Just outside the wineries, you'll also find plenty of outdoor adventure. Go deep underground to explore the mystical limestone caves, carefully traverse the magnificent rock formations that line the coast, or paddle out on your surfboard to hit the morning Indian Ocean swells.

Rottnest Island

As one the few places where you can take a coveted Quokka selfie (even celebrities like Lalisa and Chris Hemsworth have taken their shot), Rottnest Island is an iconic West Australian destination filled with adventure and relaxation. In this car-free zone, you can pedal your way through the island on rented bikes (or take the local bus) as you take in the stunning scenery. Pristine beaches and relaxing water activities await you at its many calm bay areas.

Swan Valley

Take a wine tour through Swan Valley and indulge in a leisurely tasting overlooking the vineyards while enjoying gourmet meals prepared with the finest local ingredients. Just beyond the valley, you can also meet some native animals at the Caversham Wildlife Park or go for a stroll at the beautiful Bells Rapids.

Do I need my own insurance?

No, you don’t need personal insurance coverage to book a car on Turo.

What protection plan options are available on Turo in Fremantle?

When booking a car in Australia, you’ll also choose between the Premier (if available), Standard, and Minimum protection plans. Each plan includes varying limits on financial responsibility for damage to a host’s vehicle. All trips include up to $20,000,000 (per event) in legal liability protection. Legal liability protection protects against damage to other people’s property and death or bodily injury (where the legal liability is not covered or capable of being covered by any statutory or compulsory scheme) as a result of an accident involving the vehicle. All protection is provided by Turo Travels Mutual.*

How can I get unlimited kilometre car hire during my trip from Fremantle?

Some hosts offer car hire with unlimited KMs; others set a daily distance limit. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

What payment methods does Turo accept?

Turo accepts most credit cards issued by major financial institutions, including American Express and Discover cards, as well as debit cards with a Visa or Mastercard logo that are linked to a checking account.

What are the cleaning and safety policies on Turo?

Under the enhanced cleaning policy, hosts are required to clean and disinfect their vehicles thoroughly before every trip, so you can feel safe and comfortable behind the wheel. Turo hosts have access to training materials on enhanced safety measures and cleaning practices to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 or other viruses.

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.

How much does it cost to hire a car in Fremantle? 

The cost of hiring a car in Fremantle and nearby areas depends on several factors. This includes car type, booking length, extras, and any delivery options selected. For cheap car rental in Fremantle, look out for discounts on longer-duration bookings and early bookings.

Can I book a long term car rental in Fremantle?

Yes, many Turo hosts offer long-term car rental in Fremantle ranging from a few weeks to even months.

Can you hire a car on your Ps in Fremantle? 

No, you can't hire a car on your Ps in Fremantle. 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 Fremantle? 

The minimum age to rent a car in Fremantle 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.

Do I need an international driving permit to drive in Fremantle?

If you're visiting from overseas, you can drive on your overseas licence in Fremantle (and the rest of WA) for 3 months as long as it is current. However, if your driver's licence is not written in English, you will either need to produce an English translation of it or have an international driving permit.
