Adelaide Car Rental

Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia, is the 5th largest city on the continent. Nestled in the Adelaide Plains near the Southern Ocean, the city itself is only 20 kilometres from the coast. Adelaide was originally founded in 1836, and has grown over the decades into a lively, bustling city of 1.1 million.

The River Torrens runs right next to the city, which helps to give it a temperate, Mediterranean climate. Adelaide has mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers. This beautiful city by the river is known for its wine, art, cosmopolitan culture and festivals. With striking landscapes as far as the eye can see and beautiful undisturbed coastlines ready to be explored, your rental car will give you the freedom to see it all and make the most of your time there.

Drive a Hire Car in Adelaide

Adelaide is easy to explore with a car rental, since the city is laid out in an easy to navigate grid pattern. Visit the Adelaide Casino which was once the Adelaide railway station, Parliament House, Government House and the South Australian Museum for a touch of culture and historic architecture. Taste the local wines and produce from the surrounding regions at one of the many restaurants and bars in Adelaide. Explore the Adelaide Zoo and the gorgeous Botanical Gardens, or head to Rundle Mall for excellent shopping. Adelaide is reknowned for its festivals, so make sure you don't miss The Fringe Festival and the Adelaide Arts Festival in the beginning of March, and Womadelaide, the outdoor music and dance festival, that takes place in February and March.

While you are spending time in Adelaide, definitely make sure that you reserve some time for the Rodney Fox Shark Experience. Take a drive in your hire car down to nearby Port Lincoln, where you can board the Princess II, which will ferry you to the famous Neptune Islands, perhaps the best place in the world to get a close-up view of Great White Sharks. Scuba certified divers can get in a cage that descends almost to the ocean floor.

Drive your car hire to Glenelg to wet your toes or play in the sand, walk the pier or enjoy the outdoor dining. Or head out to the Adelaide Hills which are full of wildlife sanctuaries, quaint villages, art and craft galleries as well as parks and gardens. Your car rental can take you out to the Barossa Valley, where you can taste world-famous wines and explore the magnificent countryside, and head further afield to the beautiful Clare Valley. There is so much to see and do in Adelaide and a car rental from DriveAway Holidays will help you get to it all at your own pace.
