SIXT Car Rental at Perth Airport

Perth Airport (PER) is one of the largest in Australia, and provides air transportation to approximately 14 million passengers per annum. The airport is located conveniently nearby to the Central Business District of Perth, and large roads lead up to the airport for the easiest access possible. A new intersection nearby has even been built. The Perth Airport car hire companies are part of the facilities available to arriving passengers, and include Sixt. Sixt is a favourite among many travelers around the world, always offering service of top quality, well maintained vehicles and reasonable car rental rates.

Perth Airport has shops, restaurants, banks, ATM's, currency exchange outlets, VIP lounges and all the other facilities one would expect to find at a large international and domestic airport. There are two terminal buildings for domestic operations, and one large building for international passengers, with a distance apart of about 11 km. Passengers can travel between the International and Domestic Terminals by free shuttle buses that operate twenty-four hours a day. However, passengers who have rented a car will often find the car rental counters in both sides of the airport for their convenience, and open at hours that are accommodating for the majority of arrival flights. The opening hours of Sixt are from 06:30 to 01:30 in the International Terminal and from 06:30 to 00:30 in the Domestic Terminal 3. There are no exception hours at this location, therefore, Sixt is available on Sundays and bank holidays as well.

Although Sixt is not open twenty-four hours a day, a key-box is available for return of the vehicle at any time. Passengers can also arrange for pick-up of the rental car out of opening hours for an additional charge. It is best to contact Sixt for further information regarding out-of-office hour collections and returns. The rental counters of Sixt are found on the ground floor (arrivals area) of the International Terminal (T1) and on the ground Floor (arrivals area as well) of the Domestic Terminal 3. In both terminals Sixt car rental services are operated from the Redspot counter, their Australian partner. Passengers will also find the vehicles convenient to reach, as they are in the airport car park that is nearby to the terminals.

Sixt has many years of experience in the car hire industry, and always strive to provide the best services to their customers. Their vehicles are of an excellent quality as well, and various makes and models are available. Drivers just 21 years of age or older can hire the Holden Barina or the Mitsubishi Lancer. The Holden Barina could have three-five doors, or just four doors, and is a vehicle with an automatic transmission. The Mitsubishi has an automatic transmission as well, and is a popular car for family rentals. It can seat five passengers and store two or three luggage items. Drivers younger than the age of 25 will pay higher rental rates for these vehicles than usual, for young drivers insurance, and may be required to take out other types of insurances as well. For all of Sixt’s vehicles as well, the driving license should have been held for at least a year in the renter’s country of residence prior to the rental date.

Other vehicles from Sixt Perth Airport are only available to renters who are 25 years of age or older. They include the Holden Epica, Holden Commodore, Hyundai iMax, Kia Carnival and the Holden Captiva. They are also all cars with automatic transmissions and space for five passengers, however, the Hyundai iMax and Kia Carnival are Vans ideal for up to eight passengers, three large and three small luggage items.

The Perth Airport car rental companies allow their customers to hire additional items of equipment, such as GPS units and child seats, and Sixt hand control equipment may be available to those with a disability and in need of a vehicle from Perth Airport. Hand controls are free of charge, but all other items will add an expense to the rental contract. Any item required is best to book in advance, as there is no guarantee that it will be available directly over the rental counters.

All primary renters and additional drivers must carry a driving license that is printed in English, or one with a translation, or an International Driving Permit. The IDP will help with translation of the original license, and should be carried with the local license as it is not valid on its own for the application of car rental. The primary renter should also be in possession of a major credit card, even if he/she would like to use a debit card for payment. The cards accepted at the airport include American Express, Diners Club, Mastercard and Visa, and only debit cards with the Mastercard or Visa logo may be produced.

From Perth Airport, one way hires are another useful service offered by Sixt. One way hires allow the renter to return their vehicle to a different location. Rented cars may usually be driven to all parts of Western Australia, but there could be restrictions regarding the travel into other regions. Vehicles are also not permitted on ferries.
