We recommend that you use an SUV or 4x4 car hire in Coober Pedy, as these vehicles are best prepared for driving on the rugged terrain that you may encounter outside of the town. They are generally better equipped for driving long distances on country roads and will offer a more comfortable driving experience, particularly if you plan on exploring areas of nature in the surrounding region.

The speed limit in Coober Pedy follows that of South Australia, and it is displayed in kilometres per hour. In built-up areas, you can travel up to 50 kph, but this is reduced to 25 kph if there is a school or residential area nearby; this will be signposted. In rural areas, the speed limit is 100 kph, and on the highest speed zones, such as motorways, the limit is 110 kph.

In general, you will need to use pay and display when parking in the centre of Coober Pedy; although, there are some free areas for parking further away from the city centre, where there are more residential areas. You can always check if parking is included in your deal if you are staying at a hotel, or we can recommend parking your Coober Pedy car hire at Riba’s Underground Camping and Caravan Park, which is open from 09:00 to 19:00.
