Hiring A Car Out Of The Aberdeen Dyce Airport
Airport Basics…..
Adelaide Airport is the primary airport for the South Australian capital of Adelaide. The airport can be found at West Beach which is approximately 8 miles from the center of the city and acts as a base for several international carriers including Singapore Airlines and Air New Zealand. The Adelaide airport is considered quite friendly, and could also be considered easy to get to and away from the city. The airport has several airlines represented at the facility. Some of those include: Qantas, Cathay, Singapore, Malaysia, Air New Zealand, Pacific Blue, Tiger Airways, Jet and Virgin. There are other regional airlines including Alliance and Air South.
Aircraft at Adelaide Airport
The airport is just a few years old and was voted as the 2nd best airport in Australia recently. It is spacious and easy to get around in. The car rental desks sit at the end of the car park about 100 meters from the exits. Most tourists will agree that the Adelaide airport is very convenient to get around and for car rentals.
Car Rental at the Adelaide Airport…..
The following rental car companies have desks at the airport – Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, and Thrifty. All are located near the baggage claim area in the arrivals area of the terminal.
When driving out of the Adelaide area you should find that exiting the facility is fairly straightforward. Exit on Sir Richard Williams Avenue, and you’ll have highway A6, Sir Donald Bradman Dr, right there – running East and West. To get to Adelaide (Presuming that’s where you would like to eventually get to), you’ll travel East the A6 for about 6 km’s. Sir Donald Bradman is a pretty busy four-lane highway, crowded with commercial properties on both sides. So, be careful. Traffic can be chaotic, especially for the inexperienced.
When returning your rental car back to the Adelaide Airport, you will find a Shell station (and a Hungry Jack’s) on Sir Richard Williams about 4 or 5 kilometers before the Airport turnoff. It will actually be located where Sir Richard Williams turns into Grote Street at West Terrace Street. The station will be on the left side of the road.
The following is a tip that most South Australian drivers agree on….DO NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT!!
Driving at night can be extremely dangerous. The most dangerous time is actually right around dusk and right around dawn. Here’s why. Australia is unfenced. Kangaroos are a legitimate concern and the can be present in large numbers at times. They bounce around quite erratically and if a kangaroo makes up its mind that its going to jump out in front of your car, then there is not much that you can do about it. Just remember this as you drive your rental car.
