How much is a rental car per day in Adelaide?

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 grab a ride at Thrifty, Hertz or Budget. Europcar and Avis also have some exceptional deals.

What types of cars can I rent in Adelaide?
Not too small yet not too big, compact cars are the number one choice for many visiting motorists in Adelaide. Featuring terrific mileage and easy parking and handling, they're well-suited to cruising around the city. A compact has slightly more space than an economy vehicle, so you can travel around in a little more comfort. Need a bit more legroom? Check out our intermediate, standard or full-size range.

  • Tanunda is around 56 kilometres from Adelaide. Popular attractions like Chateau Tanunda should be high on your list while you're in town.
  • Your next stop? Make it Tailem Bend, which is around 88 kilometres away. Bend Motorsport Park is one local draw card you won't want to miss.
  • Flinders Chase National Park is located 209 kilometres from Adelaide and is one of the region's most breathtaking nature spots. Stretch your legs and enjoy the fresh air here.

Where can I find an Adelaide car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Adelaide rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years old, some will charge additional fees. It's best to know about this in advance so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
