Top tips for hiring a car from Thrifty in Adelaide

  • There are two Thrifty branches in Adelaide: one at the airport and one in the centre of the city. One of the most convenient places to get a car hire at this location is from Adelaide Airport (ADL); it’s great for those arriving by plane and also close to the centre of the city. Car hire at the airport offers you more flexibility than if you were to travel by train, tram or bus. This branch also provides you with a greater selection of vehicles compared to the city centre branch. In addition, it has good reviews when referring to customer service.
  • When you’re in Adelaide, you will find many places to park your Thrifty hire car, most of which charge a fee. For instance, Hindley St Car Park, which is located in the centre of the city, costs about A$ 4 for 30min. This car park is open 24 hours per day too and offers disabled parking bays. There are some free parking spaces in the city too, which are time limited and clearly signposted. You can use the Park Adelaide app to easily find parking close to you.
  • You must know the rules of the road when you are driving your Thrifty hire car in Adelaide. For instance, everyone needs to wear their seat belt, whilst those younger than seven years of age must be in a booster seat. If you need to make a phone call whilst driving, ensure it’s on a hands-free device. Drink driving is taken very seriously, so you should always avoid consuming alcohol well in advance of driving or you risk prosecution. When you see an emergency vehicle with its sirens or lights on, you must give way.
  • Once you have collected your Thrifty car hire in Adelaide, you can drop it at another branch in the city, such as at the airport or in the city centre. You’re also able to return it to another branch in a different Australian city. One-way hires usually have a surcharge, which is calculated based on the car category, the length of the hire period and the location to which you’re returning the vehicle.
  • Book your car hire from Thrifty in Adelaide at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price.
