Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Charleston?
Motoring around Charleston doesn't have to break your budget, with daily car rental prices starting at just AU$84 within the past seven days.
Can I rent a car from Adelaide Airport (ADL)?
Rental cars at Adelaide Airport (ADL) are adjacent to baggage claim on the ground level of the terminal. Here you'll be able to pick up some wheels at Thrifty, Hertz or Budget. Europcar and Avis also provide some impressive deals.
What happens if I need to cancel my Charleston car reservation?
No need to worry. You should be eligible for a total refund if you cancel at least six hours ahead of picking up the car. Your itinerary contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid reservations will receive a refund though, so you may want to check the rental agreement.
What types of cars can I rent in Charleston?
Not too small and not too big, compact vehicles are the top choice for many travellers to Charleston. Featuring terrific gas mileage and easy parking and handling, they're ideal for cruising around the city. A compact car offers slightly more space than an economy vehicle, which means you can get around in a bit more comfort and style. Prefer something bigger? Check out our standard, intermediate and full-size options.

Charleston offers adventures galore, but don't restrict yourself to just one place. Pick up a set of wheels and hit the open road to see what else awaits in the wider area. We've pulled together these great options:

  • Tailem Bend is 64 kilometres from Charleston. Notable tourist attractions like Bend Motorsport Park deserve to be high on your must-see list while you're in town.

Generally, you'll need a current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when picking up the car. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you decide to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Requirements are likely to differ between rental companies, so be sure to check before booking.

According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a rental car in Charleston was AU$84. The next lowest was AU$90 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.

Where can I find a Charleston car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver looking for a car rental in Charleston, we recommend checking the policies of the various car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're between 21 and 24 years old.
