Don't go with Bayswater to rent a car. We were out in Perth in May and were advised to stay clear of them. The cost of hiring a car may seem appealing but the owner of the company has been to court many times. He does not have the adequate insurance to cover you and you end up paying much much more to hire your car than they advertise.
We were shown newspaper cuttings to support this for every time he has appeared in court and the amount of times he has been prosecuted. We hired a car from a family run business called Drivewest car rental (based in Scarborough). They were excellent. |

Re:car rental
Dave&Mel,
If you make a reservation at Drivewest before 30/6/03 don't forget to quote the winter special (20% discount) if your rental period commences prior to 31/8/03. I have just sent an email to Drivewest because I had some questions before we decide where to book.

Re: Perth Arrival
Hi Martin
Sent you a pm quite a few days ago just wondering whether you could give me a bit more info on Somerlie web links etc. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks Di Originally posted by MartyO Hi there We were out in Perth about 18 months ago and all these areas are nice. We had a good look around the show homes in Currambine - different from here in UK as a number of different builders have show homes next to each other rather that one volume housebuilder, so you can easily walk from house to house and compare. I understand that most of the land blocks are gone in these areas if you were intending building your own. A new area of land release is planned at a new suburb called Somerlie. As far as I am aware the Mitchell Freeway and rail line will be extended north beyond Joondalup so this suburb will also be very handy for the CBD. I have a web link explaining this if anyone is interested? As you say Mindarie and Hilarys are very nice but more pricey. Nothing like sitting outside in the pub at Hilarys in the sun watching the world go by!! Cheers Martin |

Re: Perth Arrival
Thanks Martin
I have emailed sales for some more info. It looks like it could be a nice development and very close to the beach. I'm just wondering what kind of prices they will be asking for the land. My initial thoughts are that it could be quite pricey Thanks once again Diane Originally posted by MartyO Diane Sent you a pm Cheers Martin |
Perth Newcomers

Seema like a lot of newcomers to Perth in the near future. Wonder if there is any kind of newcomers "club" (god I hate that word) or bar where everyone could meet up. My husband (no kids) and I will arrive there Septemberish all things going well. Keep in touch!! Good luck with all the emigration arrangements Tracy:) |
Re: Perth Newcomers
Hi Tracy
Don't know if you already know about the Poms in Perth web site which is pretty good for Perth related issues and getting to know others heading for Perth. A meet was recently arranged in Kings Park in Perth and I kow they intend arranging others. Current thread on this can be found at http://www.pomsinperth.com/discussio...opic.php?t=220 Hope this helps. Martin |
Re: Perth Arrival
Originally posted by suz Hi Dave and Mel Lucky you, we are hoping to go Oct/Nov 2003. Somebody gave me a web address the other day , thought it might come in handy- www.pomsinperth.com apparantly they are 2 family's who have done the immigration bit to Perth in 2000 and they now own 3/4 houses just north of city centre, which they rent out fully kitted out for people like us awaiting our household stuff!!! they also pick you up from the airport. They decided to set this up because they got so ripped off themselves when arriving and did not know anyone to help with info etc.. so free advice as well, I've looked at their web site and I would certainly give them a go,they may even be able to help you in the suburbs question. Hope all goes well, Happy travelling. Suz Thanks for the web site. Found it very informative. Put it in my favourites. Sue |
When Tony went over in January of this year, he hired a car with City car rentals. www.citycar.com.au
He arranged for the car to be left for him at the airport. Inside was a map. The car was in good condition, and all he had to do was leave it at the airport as he had found it. The price for hire was one of the best, and couldn't fault them at all. He booked it over the internet. Hope this may be of some use. Sue |
