• Onkaparinga River National Park
• Kangaroo Island
• The Limestone Coast

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.
