FAQ
How can I pay for my rental car?
Payment for a rental car should preferably be made by credit card. It is possible to pay by debit card, however at the rental counter you will need a credit card issued to the main driver in order to secure the deposit for your rental car.
Who is allowed to drive the rental car and what are the conditions?
A rental car can be driven by a main driver, that is the person registered in the booking. Additional drivers may be added to the reservation at extra fee. The main and additional drivers are to present a valid driving license, which they have been in possession of for at least one year (please refer to the rental conditions), and a valid identity card/passport. Additionally, the main driver is to present a valid credit card issued in their name.
Do I have to pick up and return the car at any time? What happens if I am late for pick-up?
We recommend that you pick up the car at the agreed time as the availability of the car cannot be guaranteed in case of a delay. As a rule, local suppliers keep vehicles available up to 30 or 60 minutes after the agreed time. If a delay is inevitable, please contact the rental agency (you will find their contact details on the voucher).
What documents are required to pick up the vehicle?
When picking up the vehicle, the main driver is to present the following documents: the printed voucher, their identity card or passport; their driving's license and their valid credit card.

Adelaide Attractions and Travel Tips

Cheap Car Rental Adelaide

Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia, feels relaxed and carefree even with its one million inhabitants. With the Adelaide Hills and beaches only half an hour away from the city and a gateway to Australia’s most accessible wine country, Adelaide is in an excellent location to visit. HAPPYCAR is here to help you find the best car hire Adelaide has to offer so you can take full advantage of this stylish city, with a direct car hire at Adelaide Airport available. We check the prices of international and local providers so that you don’t have to check each website to provide you with the best deals to make your money go further on a rental car that fits your specific vacation needs.

General Information

Unlike the other state capitals of Australia. Adelaide has never been a convict settlement as it was founded entirely by free settlers. After Colonel William Light got the approval to build a spacious city with gentle connections to the river, Adelaide began to transform into a bustling multicultural city with a buzzing festival culture and a hedonistic wine history. An upcoming urban makeover means more big changes for the city, with a refurbished Adelaide Oval that will link central Adelaide to the Oval and its beautiful surrounding parklands. An Adelaide car hire provides access to many beautiful stops around the city, which are guaranteed to leave a fantastic impression and will want you yearning for more.

To Do

There is plenty to do in Adelaide that can take as long as you have. The Adelaide Central Market is a fantastic draw for locals and visitors alike and provides some great smells and color. Adelaide also has a cultural boulevard not far from the market, where you can peruse galleries, museums and colonial buildings and learn a little about Adelaide’s history. For a shopping fix, head to Rundle Mall or the Sunday markets, or you can venture fourth into new boutique strips in previously off-the-radar suburbs such as Croydon. A car hire in Adelaide can also take you to Glenelg on Holdfast Bay, the premier beach in Adelaide. Here you can browse the seaside shops, take a swim or relax on the beach. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also swim with dolphins or ride along the coast on a jet boat.

Attractions

Adelaide Hills, with its Mount Lofty Summit, provide spectacular views of the Adelaide plains, the metropolitan area, the CBD, Glenelg and the surrounding areas. A short drive up the freeway will bring you to Hahndorf, Australia’s oldest surviving German settlement in the heart of Adelaide Hills. Coopers Brewery is the only remaining large family-owned brewery in Australia and definitely worth a tour to see their well-known bottle conditioned ales.

Eating

The east of Adelaide has a feast of restaurants and cuisines to sample, from Asian fusion to Argentinian, or the bustling heart of Chinatown. Adelaide is fantastic for its alfresco dining and you will have plenty of choice in Adelaide’s East End, particularly on Rundle Street, with a mix of historic pubs and family-run cafes and restaurants. Adelaide is Australia’s wine capital and their selection of reds and whites strives to put everyone else to shame. Multiple vineyards are in the area to explore, but the Magill Estate Restaurant is worth a visit too. The restaurant is owned by Penfolds, Australia’s best known red wine maker, which is guaranteed to be a fantastic wine-tasting experience.

Excursions

Thanks to the city’s great Southern location, Adelaide is a great point from which to strike out into the surroundings and beyond. Adelaide is centrally located among the wine regions of McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley and Clare Valley, all of which are within easy day-trip distance with a car rental Adelaide. The beauty of Adelaide’s beaches is one of Australia’s best kept secrets with the neighboring Henley and Grange Beaches as perfect family-friendly examples. Drive along the Gulf Saint Vincent coast, stopping to swim at Port Willunga and Christies and Maslin beaches. Kangaroo Island is the jewel in Adelaide’s crown, with pristine beaches, unique wildlife, awesome sunsets and more than a drop of wine. A little further north is Flinders Ranges with its natural beauty, and even further up is Alice Springs and Uluru. A beautiful long drive is possible along the Great Ocean Road, which you can take all the way to Melbourne where you can continue your Australian adventure in style. Look no further than HAPPYCAR and book your next rental car now!
