Adelaide Airport is Australia’s fifth busiest airport, with 8.5 million passengers going through its doors in 2019. It sits along the eastern side of West Beach, and so provides great views when you’re flying in or out of the city. The airport serves both domestic and international customers, and is located 6 kilometres west of Adelaide’s CBD.
Salisbury is approximately 26 kilometres northeast of Adelaide Airport, and takes about 30 minutes to reach by car. During rush hour, you can expect this trip to take up to 45 minutes, because of the route’s proximity to the city centre.
If you’d like a stress-free, comfortable way to get between the two destinations, Car Australia can provide you with an affordable chauffeur service, allowing you to sit back and relax for the journey. We have a vast fleet of modern, environmentally-friendly vehicles, from small sedans to large minibuses that can carry up to 20 people. You can book a trip with us using our mobile app, by giving us a call, or by using the booking form on our website.
