The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Perth are: Hyundai Santa Fe, Jeep Wrangler, Suzuki Jimny, Nissan Patrol, Toyota Hilux, Kia Sportage and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Australia ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Australia are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
Trying to hide from the road patrol is simply useless. The police will find it simple to catch up even with the fastest violator. The reason is all the police cars (including the unmarked ones) are equipped with very powerful engines. Moreover, all road police offices are drivers of the highest class.
The police are allowed to stop vehicles for no apparent reason. Most probably, in this case a driver will be required to take the test that shows the content of alcohol in the blood. It is not recommended to reject to take the test as it will be inevitably followed by the heaviest penalty - a fine of up to $3,300 and the driving license suspension for 3-5 years. The imprisonment for 18-24 months can be imposed as an additional penalty.
The same penalties are imposed for drivers who do not provide help in the event of an accident. Even if a driver has not been directly involved in the accident, and was a mere witness, he must call the police and the ambulance.
