Top tips for renting a car at Adelaide airport

In an Adelaide Airport car rental, you can also explore the vast coastline and beaches of southern Australia. And in your rental vehicle, you can head out into the world-famous Australian outback. Once you get a car rental at Adelaide Airport, you can embark on your Australian adventure on your own terms and according to your own agenda.
  • When you choose to get yourself a car rental at Adelaide Airport, you can make use of some special services that the different car rental agencies have to offer. For instance, when you rent from Budget, you can speed up the process of renting your car by using the Fastbreak service. You can also do After Hours Returns with Budget at the Adelaide Airport. Not all exclusive services will be available to US citizens in Australia, so when you are making your reservation, ask about any special services you are thinking of using.
  • The Adelaide Airport is a comfortable and convenient location. If you need to clean up, relax, or recharge once you land but before you collect your Adelaide Airport car rental, you have several options at the Adelaide Airport. Some of the beneficial services available at the Adelaide Airport that you can avail yourself of before you get your rental car or if you have to wait to get your rental car include an Information Desk, Airport Ambassadors that can help you with any questions, restaurants throughout the airport, facilities for babies and children, currency exchange, a prayer room, and more.
  • Renting a car in Adelaide from the Adelaide Airport as opposed to from car rental agencies in town is a good idea because most of the car rental agencies at the Adelaide Airport have longer hours of operation than do the car rental agencies in town.

I was left to stay out on cold evening without being picked up from the stated spot at the airport for more than an hour. No body showed up and I had to use taxi to move myself and wife to hotel room and again being told to find my way to the car depot next morning when Icalledand no one showed remorse like how comes the customer has not picked the car and not even a phone call to check and yet communication between me and the answering machine can tell I was at the airport. Very poor customer service and I will not recommend your service to anyone because your service let me down as I was unable to participate in an event that we went for that evening and next day we were also late as if we didn't plan ourselves around the transportation means.

retty poor for an airport rental company. Should have read reviews first as I wouldn’t have booked with them if I had. Arrived at Adelaide airport and called for the shuttle bus and was told that the last one had left, they were about to close and I wouldn’t be able to collect the car until the next day!? WTF Nowhere during the booking process did I see that you need to be at the shuttle LATEST 5:30pm If that happens go to, I suggest going to the Budget rentals office at the airport. They had the best price and vehicles compared to Avis and Hertz (who wanted $500+$100 bond for 3 days small car rental) 😳
