Here at Aries Car Rental, we know that we often get international visitors who wish to get car hire with an overseas licence. In most cases, we will be able to accommodate those requests but you will be under the same rules that our native drivers are. Here at Aries Car Rental, you must be 21 years old to rent a car and you must have had an overseas driver’s licence for at least 2 years before you are eligible to rent one of our vehicles. You will be prohibited from hiring a car from Aries Car Rental if your licence has been suspended, probationary or cancelled as a way to ensure that everyone is safe on the roads.

We are proud to rent to those with an overseas licence and you will be eligible to rent from our fleet in most cases. We know that it can sometimes be difficult to find car hire with an overseas licence in Perth but we will do our best to accommodate those needs for a car when you are visiting from an international destination. Contact us if you have any questions and we will be happy to help when it comes to using an overseas licence for car hire.
