KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Coober Pedy
- By choosing to use car hire in Coober Pedy, you can explore the local area at your own leisure. The roughly 80 km squared area of Coober Pedy is famous for its opal mines and its lunar-style, sun-baked terrain, which is regularly used as a backdrop for Hollywood movies. With your car hire in Coober Pedy, you can decide where to go, when to go and how long you stay at each location that you visit, without having to worry about the timetable offered by the local public transport. You can visit areas around the town that would be hard to get to by bus, like Tallaringa Conservation Park or Lake Eyre.
- The airport close to Coober Pedy is Coober Pedy Airport (CPD), which has a variety of car hire companies for you to get out and explore the town and its surroundings. Alamo, Budget, Enterprise, Firefly and National are some of the car hire companies that you can find at the airport. Most of the office branches are near the entrance of the main terminal building, but some, like the office branch of Firefly, are located deeper within the airport. We recommend you contact the car hire company directly once you have made your booking, as their opening hours may vary.
- When in Coober Pedy, you will need to drive according to the national laws of the road of Australia, and so you must drive on the left-hand side of the road. Take care as you drive in Coober Pedy, as jaywalking is common, and when you are behind the wheel, you will have a responsibility for the health and safety of pedestrians, even if they cross the road at areas that are not designated crossing points.
- Located at the northern point of South Australia, Coober Pedy has very hot, desert-like weather, so we strongly recommend that you check your vehicle is in good condition before beginning any journeys. Before you drive anywhere, we recommend that you check your tyre pressure, as it may be affected by the high heat, and you should also check the coolant liquid levels, to make sure the vehicle continues to operate as best as possible. We recommend that you try to avoid driving through the town centre during the rush hour, around 09:00 and 17:00, as this is when the most traffic is on the streets.
