Certainly! One-way rentals from Darwin to Adelaide are available. Check the comparison tool for options and pricing.
Yes, but supplier policies vary. While most hire companies restrict travel on unsealed roads, some allow short, well-maintained access roads to recognised campgrounds—check your hire agreement before driving on any unsealed roads on Kangaroo Island (for both 2WD and 4WD campers).
To get to Kangaroo Island, you’ll need to book a ferry; please note that this is the responsibility of the hirer. Check with your hire supplier to see if any further restrictions apply.
Yes, generally unlimited kilometres are included for standard vehicle rentals in Australia. Limits are placed on some types of vehicles, e.g. 4x4 campers. The comparison tool will show you whether your preferred vehicle has unlimited or restricted kilometres.
Free camping rules vary by land manager and local council. In and around central Adelaide, overnight stays in public places (including sleeping in a vehicle) are generally not permitted under local by-laws, so use designated campgrounds or holiday parks.
Some popular places to stay in Adelaide include Brighton Caravan Park, Discovery Parks Adelaide Beachfront and Levi Adelaide Holiday Park.
Adelaide is a great base for a campervan holiday, with many road trip destinations to explore in South Australia:
If you’re Australian, you’ll need a full and valid class C (car) licence (no learner licence) to hire a campervan in Adelaide.
International travellers need a full car licence—if it’s not in English, you’ll also need an International Driving Permit (IDP) or an official English translation.
Under 21? Some smaller campervans may be available from 18+, but most motorhomes require drivers to be 21+; drivers under 25 usually pay a young-driver surcharge.
Note: policies vary from supplier to supplier. Always check the T&Cs for your rental.
