M1cha3la Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Hey, So as I am sure you all know (as i talk about it none stop) is we are coming to Perth in September :jiggy: I am trying to figure out transport. We are going to hire a car but we land at stupid o'clock so the car hire places are not open (according to online), from what I can find anyway. We are going to have to book in a hotel for that night as our apartment wont check us in at that time. I don't like the look or price of the hotels near the airport, there is nothing on site anyway, so I am thinking of booking the Ambassador Hotel on Adelaide Terrace as its near our apartment (not walkable though, but close for a cheap taxi i hope) and Perth Airport offers that shuttle bus ($15) each. Does that sound like a good plan? Has anyone used the shuttle? Part of me wants to book a taxi as I will not be in the mood at stupid o'clock, but I guess a taxi will cost a bomb at stupid o'clock :twitcy: Next step would be to find car hire in the city centre then, does that cost more than airport hire? I have looked and am looking on the internet, but as ever my lovely Poms advise would be appreciated :wubclub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob dc Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Can't help with shuttle, guess taxi would be $60 plus Bayswater car rental usually give the best deals, loads of people on here have used them and they have a branch at 160 Adelaide Terrace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayinperth Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 some hire car companies give you a key at the airport through lost property. When we went to Cairns, we arrived at 4am, so car company hadn't opened yet. So they charged "out-hour" rate (about $20) then told us that we needed to go to lost property and get the key. (it seems an usual method for the company, the guy at lost property knew exactly what happened) Not sure all companies/airports do the same tho. We used "apex" btw, it was a great rate If you could book out-business hour pick up, it would be an option for you to hire a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERYSTORMY Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Was at Perth airport last night at 1am and all of the big companies desks were open - hertz and things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1cha3la Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Thanks VS :wubclub: thats good to know :cute: We land at that time, so guess I need to allow an hour to get cases and through customs. Hertz website says its open to 1:30am, but I imagine we can not be the only people on our flight who need to hire a car, so I am trying not to stress too much. Will drop Hertz an email during the week to see what they say :cute: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
