About Renting a Car at Perth Fremantle
Fremantle, affectionately known as 'Freo', sits 19 km southwest of Perth's city center on the Indian Ocean coast and offers six car rental companies for your hire vehicle. From here, the Rottnest Island ferry, historic prisons, and world-class beaches are all within reach. Fremantle is famous for its white limestone buildings, Fremantle Prison, and the vibrant South Terrace, known as the 'Cappuccino Strip'.
The harbor is the departure point for ferries to Rottnest Island (90 min), and Cottesloe Beach lies just 8 km north. Park at Kings Square or Victoria Quay for free or cheap parking near rental offices. Drive Stirling Highway north to reach Cottesloe (8 km, 12 min) and Scarborough Beach (25 km, 30 min).
