Perth Motorhome Rental & Campervan Hire

RV Rentals & Campervan Hire in Perth, Western Australia

Perth is the capital of the state of Western Australia, set apart from the rest of the country by the vast stretches of desert, national parks and cattle stations (farms), known as Australia’s “Golden Outback”, surrounding the city.  You can go online and reserve your Perth motorhome rental or campervan hire before you travel; then pick up the keys from your motorhome rental, campervan hire or recreational vehicle (RV) branch.

For tourists hankering for a road trip with regular city breaks, New South Wales boasts the comparatively close proximity of Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Victoria and Adelaide, all hanging out in Australia’s in Southern Eastern corner. Often overlooked is Perth, literally on the other side of the country, and relatively cut-off on the west coast.

This is a good thing for real, no nonsense travellers seeking some glorious isolated coastline action on the world heritage coastal drive to the Ningaloo Reef, a chance to see the Pinnacles en route to Cervantes in Namburg National park, or the ancient river gorges of Kalbarri National Park, to name but a tiny few, then Perth is your city.

It’s not just paradise for nature and animal lovers (local residents include ‘roos, monkeys, dolphins, whale sharks…) head to Fremantle for cafes, bars, galleries and proper city buzz that never disappoints, but it’s that decadent beach lifestyle that has tempted many a tourist (even the odd, hard-bitten traveller) into abandoning well-intentioned trips to the desert in favour of spectacular ocean views with a tasty BBQ and a few ice-cold beers… Save that for when you get back, it’s time to get out there.

Perth featured strongly in the Australian Gold Rush in the 19th century; becoming a centre for people moving across the country from the more populated east in search of their fortune.
