What is the highest-rated car hire provider in Adelaide?

Is it cheaper to book a weekly car rental in Adelaide?
The per-day rates of some rental cars may fall if you book for a longer rental period. Prices often change around daily, three-day, five-day and seven-day periods. Also, note that the selection of rental cars available in Adelaide may be more limited if you are looking for a long-term car rental, so it’s best to compare a few different booking durations first.
Will it be easy to collect my rental car in Adelaide?
Some Adelaide City car hire providers have depots that are easier to find and get to than others. Most of the depots within the city area are found in car parks or hotels. If you can collect a car outside of the CBD area, you may find it easier to access the car hire depot. You can check the depot addresses above to determine if you will be within walking distance of a car rental depot based on your accommodation location.
Are there toll roads in Adelaide?
No, there are no tolls roads in Adelaide, nor in the state of South Australia.
What is the speed limit in Adelaide?
Within urban Adelaide, the default speed limit is 50km/h unless otherwise signposted. There is often a lower speed limit around schools, particularly for times when students are being dropped off or collected, so do keep an eye out for signs indicating a reduced speed limit. Outside of the city centre, the speed limit on most Australian highways is 100km/h.
What are some good road trips from Adelaide?
Adelaide is an excellent base for road trips into greater South Australia. While a rental car self-drive trip to the Adelaide Hills and the Barossa Valley wine-growing region is one of the most popular excursions, Kangaroo Island is also an excellent destination for a weekend away. Other popular options include both Port Lincoln and, set to the north of Whyalla, the Flinders Ranges.
