So where can you hire a car in Adelaide? All the major companies have outlets at the Airport and in the CBD, as well as some suburban offices. Avis, Budget, Hertz, Thrifty and Europcar are the five major car rental companies in Adelaide.
Car hire Australia Perth, car hire Australia Brisbane and car hire Australia Darwin and the rest of Australia also consists of these five major companies. Each city also has local smaller car rental companies. Personally I prefer to go with one of the big five as their insurance policies are sound and their cars are always near new and very reliable.

In the Adelaide Hills you can go bush walking, visit national parks such as Belair National Park, climb Mt. Lofty Summit for some fantastic views and of course try some of the local wine which the area is famous for.
Where can I drive in the rest of South Australia? Once you are outside of Adelaide, the real driving adventures begin! This is mostly outback territory if you are heading west or north, so a 4WD vehicle is recommended. Some hire car companies may not let you drive on unsealed roads so check with them first.
Many drivers love to go on the Oodnadatta Track which is a fantastic dirt track in northern South Australia.
