Chalkwest is proud to be the first Aboriginal-owned Budget Rent a Car franchisee within the Avis Budget Group. With over 25 years of local history and a fleet of more than 1,200 vehicles across Western Australia, we are committed to delivering exceptional customer service while creating meaningful employment and training opportunities for Aboriginal people.
