Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Adelaide?
Exploring Adelaide doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg, with daily car rental prices starting at AU$253 within the past seven days.
Can I rent a car from Adelaide Airport (ADL)?
The rental car counters at Adelaide Airport (ADL) can be found adjacent to baggage claim on the ground level of the terminal. Here you can reserve a ride at Enterprise, Budget or Thrifty. Avis and Europcar also have some fantastic deals.
What happens if I need to cancel my Adelaide car reservation?
We’ve got good news! You should be eligible for a complete refund if you notify us a minimum of six hours ahead of collecting the car. Your confirmation contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all bookings qualify for a refund though, so you may want to check your car’s cancellation policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Adelaide?
Dash around in a nifty mini, style it up in a premium ride or go for something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it’s hard to go past a compact vehicle — the most commonly booked home type in Adelaide. They’re easy to park and handle, fuel-efficient and a wise idea if you’re visiting big cities. An upgrade from economy, you can expect a little more comfort and room at a price that’s still nice.
Where can I go on a road trip from Adelaide?
Book a rental car, grab the keys and explore the endless attractions of Adelaide. But with tons of places to see in the surrounding areas, don’t put the brakes on there! Plot your own path to some of the other intriguing places in the region:

  • You’ll feel the lively spirit of bustling city life the moment you pull into Stone Well. Some 56 kilometres from Adelaide, it’s home to a ton of amazing spots to visit, such as Peter Lehmann.
  • Tailem Bend, around 88 kilometres away, also promises a good time. Chasing some sightseeing inspiration? Bend Motorsport Park is our top pick.
  • After all that driving, treat yourself to a dose of nature at Flinders Chase National Park. It’s approximately 209 kilometres from Adelaide.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Adelaide?
At least 21. But there are a handful of age-related restrictions to keep in mind before you reserve your wheels in Adelaide. If you’re a younger driver, most home companies will charge an extra daily fee and limit the kinds of vehicles you’re able to rent. The precise surcharge, and which age range it applies to, differs between providers. Take a few moments to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Adelaide?
Be prepared to present your driver’s license and a credit card in your name when you get to the home counter. Before pickup, check with your selected home company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Adelaide?
Cars drive on the left in Adelaide. This means that the steering wheel and other controls are also on the other side. Leave a little extra time to get familiar with the differences before hitting the road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Adelaide?
You can. We partner with trusted companies that offer long-term holiday homes for all categories of cars. Check out our long-term car rental deals and explore every turn of Adelaide — or far beyond!
Where can I find an Adelaide car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver looking for a holiday home in Adelaide, we suggest reading the terms and conditions of the various holiday home companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25 some may not. There may be additional fees if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any unwanted surprises at the holiday home desk, make sure you do your research.
