Hiring a van in Perth - useful information

Hiring a van is the quickest and easiest way to shift some furniture or help you move house. There are a couple of options for hiring a van in Perth: you can either go through a traditional rental car agency or a car sharing service like Uber Carshare.

Uber Carshare is a cheap and convenient option. You can book for as little as one hour or for as long as you need. Once you’ve signed up for free, it just takes a few minutes to find a van near you and book it through the app. There’s no paperwork and no need to head to the rental car depot during opening hours.

How much does it cost to hire a van in Perth?

Hiring a van from a traditional hire car company can get very expensive. You could be paying well over $150 a day by the time you include fuel and extra fees to reduce your cover excess. Rates for borrowing vans through Uber Carshare start at just $8 an hour or $45 a day, plus distance charges. You can reduce your excess to $500 for $1.50 an hour or $18 a day.

Do you need a special licence to drive a van in Perth?

You can drive a van on a normal Western Australia car licence, as long as it weighs less than 4.5 tonnes and has no more than 12 seats. This includes all standard moving vans, and all cars available for hire on Uber Carshare.
