Adelaide Airport lies six kilometres to the west of the city centre, and it’s adjacent to the sea side suburb of West Beach. If you want to get from Adelaide Airport to the CBD, you’ve got plenty of options available. There are taxis, buses, shuttles, and even hire cars, and each choice comes with its own benefits. Public transport options are cheap, and they’re usually pretty easy to access. However, they’re not the quickest or most comfortable option. Taxis are normally a lot more efficient, but with metered fees and long lines at the taxi rank, they can leave you feeling like you didn’t get your money’s worth. That’s why we recommend a direct transfer with Car Australia.
At Car Australia we service clients travelling from Adelaide Airport to the CBD and beyond, with professionally chauffeured and well-maintained luxury vehicles. We understand that certainty is everything when it comes to your travel budget, too, which is why we offer fixed prices. As well as that, our booking service can cater for your booking well in advance, so you can get your schedule consolidated for months to come.
