  • If you’re new to the roads in Western Australia, you should be aware of the gridlock that can happen during peak hours. Between 7 am and 9 am and 4 pm and 6 pm, the roads can be packed with vehicles and pedestrians. Try your best to avoid driving along Bussel Highway and State Route 20 during these peak hours to get the most out of your travel experience. You can take the Bunbury Ring Road carriageway reduces travel time for motorists along the Forrest Highway to the Bussell Highway by around 15 minutes.

It is also helpful to have your own car when making trips between where you’re staying and the city's beautiful beaches for a swim.

Additionally, while cyclists can ride on footpaths in Western Australia, pedestrians have right of way over cyclists on footpaths and cyclists have right of way over cars on roads.
  • During summer, it is important to be aware of any bushfire warnings and be prepared to limit driving or drive cautiously, as smoke from nearby fires may impede visibility. Western Australia can experience extreme weather conditions, so check weather updates to see if you need to be prepared for intense heat, rain or wind.

Gravel roads are often used outside of cities; when driving on gravel, be sure to slow down when turning and avoid braking suddenly.

The Staff member who rented us the car should be fired, absolutely appalled at his customer service. He treated my wife with such disrespect and malice that I will never rent here again
