The nearest city of comparable size is thousands of kilometres east, which means the roads leaving town lead to vineyards, empty beaches, national parks and, eventually, the deserts and reefs of the north. Western Australia is also warm, dry and sunny for most of the year, which makes it a natural choice for a summer escape from a Northern Hemisphere winter.<\/p>\n<p>We live in Rovaniemi, so for us this is a planning exercise, not a travel diary. We have read the live listings, the route descriptions and the price study on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.campervanplanet.com\/perth-campervan-hire?currency=EUR&#038;sid=joonaheinone&#038;utm_source=joonaheinone&#038;utm_medium=affiliate&#038;utm_content=blog-perth-campervan-hire-margaret-river-pinnacles-wine-country-road-trip\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">CampervanPlanet Perth page<\/a>, and here is the trip we would take.<\/p><div class=\"htf-tldr\"><div class=\"htf-tldr-label\">Short Answer<\/div><p>CampervanPlanet&#8217;s booking engine (October 2026, cheapest vehicle, 7 nights) showed Perth campervans from <strong>A$115 a day for 10 November 2026, A$110 for 9 March 2027 and A$81 for 8 June 2027<\/strong>.

The page says eight companies have live prices from Perth, and the accompanying price study, which looked at 542 live prices from nine companies, found that a day from Perth typically costs about A$216, against A$197 from Sydney. That is a useful reminder that Western Australia can cost a little more than the east coast.<\/p>\n<p>The reason to pay it is distance and quiet. In the south-west, you can be in wine country in under three hours. Head north, and the roads open into the Coral Coast, where Ningaloo Reef is one of the few places in the world where you can swim with whale sharks from the shore. If you are curious about the far north of the state, our <a href=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/travel-tips\/perth-to-broome-campervan-road-trip-coral-coast-western-australia\/\">Perth to Broome road trip<\/a> goes into detail, and <a href=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/campervan-rental\/\">our campervan rental guide<\/a> explains the basics of how rentals work.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Three_routes_from_Perth\"><\/span>Three routes from Perth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Perth page maps three itineraries, from short to epic.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Perth_to_Margaret_River_and_wine_country\"><\/span>Perth to Margaret River and wine country<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The easiest and most popular trip. The drive south is about three hours to Margaret River, with detours through Bunbury and the Busselton jetty, one of the longest wooden jetties in the world. Margaret River combines wineries, craft breweries, limestone caves, surf breaks and tall forests of karri trees. Allow three to five days, longer if you love food and wine.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Perth_to_the_Pinnacles_and_the_Turquoise_Coast\"><\/span>Perth to the Pinnacles and the Turquoise Coast<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A route north along the coast to Nambung National Park, where thousands of limestone spires rise from yellow sand. The Pinnacles are best at sunrise or sunset, when the light is soft and the crowds thinner. Lancelin, with its white sand dunes, is a good stop on the way. This works as a two-to-three day loop.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Perth_to_the_Coral_Coast_and_Ningaloo_Reef\"><\/span>Perth to the Coral Coast and Ningaloo Reef<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The long one, over 1,200 km each way. It leads to Shark Bay, Monkey Mia and Exmouth, with Ningaloo Reef at the end. You need at least ten days for the round trip, plus more for the best swimming. Distances between services are large, and the heat in summer can be fierce, so plan carefully. Many travellers do this trip as a one-way hire. For vehicles that can go further off the sealed road, see our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/destinations\/4wd-camper-hire-perth-coral-coast-shark-bay-dirk-hartog\/\">4WD camper hire in Perth<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prices_and_seasons\"><\/span>Prices and seasons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The numbers above are for the cheapest vehicle on a seven-night rental, and come from the CampervanPlanet booking engine in October 2026. The order surprises some people: A$81 a day for a June 2027 pick-up is lower than for the November or March dates. That is the shape of the Western Australian market. Winter, from June to August, is cooler and wetter in the south-west, but also much quieter and cheaper. Summer, from December to February, is hot, dry and busy.<\/p>\n<p>Typical rates on the page are around A$210 a day in autumn and A$217 in spring for a standard hire, and the cheapest vehicles start from about A$93 a day. The price study also notes that, for two people and before excess cover and extras, the cheapest typical rental it found from Perth was at around A$141 a day. The real total is always higher once you add insurance, one-way fees and extras.<\/p>\n<p>To see the exact price for your dates, search on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.campervanplanet.com\/perth-campervan-hire?currency=EUR&#038;sid=joonaheinone&#038;utm_source=joonaheinone&#038;utm_medium=affiliate&#038;utm_content=blog-perth-campervan-hire-margaret-river-pinnacles-wine-country-road-trip\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">Perth page<\/a>, and use code HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY20 for \u20ac20 off at checkout.<\/p>\n<!-- HTF-CVP-V1 -->\n<div style=\"margin:26px 0;border:1px solid #E5E3DE;border-left:4px solid #C8A45A;border-radius:10px;padding:16px 20px;background:#F8F7F4;\"><p style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;color:#2C2A26;\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Our campervan tip:<\/strong> prices for the same van vary a lot between rental brands.

They are common along the coast and in the wine region, and in school holidays and over Christmas they need booking in advance.<\/p>\n<p>Freedom camping is possible in some places, but councils set their own rules and many have banned it in popular towns. Signs matter, and fines are real. Self-contained vehicles are often treated differently from non-self-contained ones, so check what your campervan is certified for. We recommend using the local council websites, or the CampervanPlanet page for Western Australia, to check the current rules before you drive.<\/p>\n<p>A few practical notes for the outback and the long coast:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fuel:<\/strong> fill up whenever you can once you are north of Geraldton, since stations may be hundreds of kilometres apart.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water:<\/strong> carry more than you think you will need, and check the status of roadhouses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wildlife:<\/strong> kangaroos are most active at dawn and dusk, and the sensible advice is to avoid driving then.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heat:<\/strong> in summer, the north can exceed 40 \u00b0C, so plan driving for early morning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"s5\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Driving_in_Western_Australia\"><\/span>Driving in Western Australia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Australia drives on the left. Western Australian roads are long, straight and often empty, which makes driving easy and tiring in equal measure. Take breaks, share the driving, and don&#8217;t underestimate the distances. Speed limits on highways are generally 100 to 110 km\/h, with lower limits in towns and for towing or large vehicles. Road trains, which are very long trucks, are common in the north, and overtaking them takes time and space.<\/p>\n<p>If you are used to driving on the right, take it slowly for the first day. The airport pick-up gives you a quiet first stretch, and the first night in a holiday park near the coast is a good way to settle in.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s6\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_go\"><\/span>When to go<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Spring (September to November) is wildflower season, with comfortable weather and good prices. Summer is the high season for beaches, but can be hot. Autumn (March to May) is a very good compromise, with stable weather and falling prices. Winter is the whale-watching season in the south-west and the best time to visit the north, where the dry season is warm and sunny. That is why the cheapest prices in the south-west happen when the north is at its best.<\/p>\n<!-- HTF-CVP-V1 -->\n<div style=\"margin:34px 0;background:linear-gradient(150deg,#2D5A3D 0%,#1a3d28 100%);border-radius:16px;padding:30px 28px;color:#fff;text-align:center;\"><div style=\"font-size:12px;letter-spacing:2px;text-transform:uppercase;color:#E8D5A0;font-weight:700;margin-bottom:8px;\">Ready for the open road?<\/div><h3 style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-size:24px;color:#fff;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Book_your_Perth_campervan\"><\/span>Book your Perth campervan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p style=\"margin:0 auto 18px;max-width:520px;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.6;color:rgba(255,255,255,.85);\">Compare prices across 160+ campervan and motorhome rental brands, get a free 1GB eSIM with every booking \u2014 and <strong>\u20ac20 off with code HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY20<\/strong>.<\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.campervanplanet.com\/perth-campervan-hire?currency=EUR&#038;sid=joonaheinone&#038;utm_source=joonaheinone&#038;utm_medium=affiliate&#038;utm_content=blog-perth-campervan-hire-margaret-river-pinnacles-wine-country-road-trip\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#C8A45A;color:#1A1917;text-decoration:none;font-weight:800;font-size:15px;padding:14px 30px;border-radius:12px;\">Check prices &amp; availability \u2192<\/a><div style=\"font-size:11px;color:rgba(255,255,255,.6);margin-top:12px;\">Affiliate link \u2014 same price for you, small commission for us.<\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 id=\"faq\" style=\"padding-left:0;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<details><summary>How much does campervan hire in Perth cost?<\/summary>\n<p>CampervanPlanet&#8217;s October 2026 search showed the cheapest 7-night vehicle from A$115 a day for 10 November 2026, A$110 for 9 March 2027 and A$81 for 8 June 2027.
