There are a selection of on-site car rental brands to select from at Adelaide Airport. See below for clear instructions on how to find Adelaide Airport’s car hire desks and where to pick up and return your rental car in each terminal.
Adelaide Airport has a single passenger terminal, from where both domestic and international flights are operated. The terminal consists of three floors, with Arrivals on the ground floor (Level 0) and Departures on the second floor (Level 2).
Follow the signs to Arrivals — the on-airport rental cars desks are located on the ground floor of Adelaide Airport, opposite the conveyor belts for luggage.
The on-airport rental cars are located on the ground floor of the multi-level car park. To reach the car park, leave the terminal and head across the courtyard, crossing at the pedestrian crossing.
Hopefully the car rental company has left a sign with instructions or a contact number. In this situation, use the number they have provided and let them know that you have arrived or follow the directions out to the car park where a rental attendant will help you.
If there is no sign, check your booking confirmation email for a contact phone number.
If you still have no luck finding assistance, contact us. Don’t be alarmed. It’s not unusual to see unmanned desks, and rest assured there’s usually someone who can help out in the car park where the rental cars are located.
If you booked with an off-airport provider, you’ll need to catch a shuttle to the car rental provider’s premises near the airport.
Enter through the main airport entrance, drive through the roundabout, and take the second exit on the right before the drop off/collection area. After parking, take the keys to the staff in the car park office.
For after-hours returns, there will be a return slot where you will drop off the key. Park and lock your car, then place the keys in the drop box located in the returns area.
For East Coast return the vehicle to the depot located at 237 Richmond Road, Richmond. A courtesy shuttle service will take you directly to the designated drop-off point close to the Departure Terminal.
For after-hours returns you will need to speak to one of the car rental staff when picking up your vehicle to arrange an after hours return.
