Well done Ningaloo Car & Boat Hire, will recommend you to anybody planning an Exmouth trip. Clear communications, accurate arrangements and the Prado was in good condition and very clean. We opted for the Prado primarily for the boot size as we arrived with camping equipment for a family trip. Thank you for your contribution to a great trip. Great experience overall. Thanks Andries van der MerwePosted on Google![]()

Great car rental experience. Team were easygoing and rental went smoothly. Well priced, worth giving a call if traditional airport car rentals won’t consider to you - have held my full licence for under 2yrs and nobody else would rent to me. Thanks to these guys I got a car and enjoyed my holiday to NingalooPosted on Google![]()

Have used these guys twice now for car and boat hire. Matt and Rowan always get in touch fast with info and have helped with pick up and drop off at odd times. I always get the boat clean and in good order and the guys help with adding on a few items if we cant fly up with them. The 6m polycraft rides dry and is economical with 4 stroke 175 honda on it. Great set up!Load more
