About Adelaide Airport

Adelaide International Airport sits 6km west of the CBD, specifically the Victoria Asquare. On average, it will take you 10-15 minutes by car from the airport to the city center. This makes it more convenient than most airports that sit far out of the city limits.

Adelaide Airport (ADL) has several accolades to its name like the world's second-best international airport in 2006 and Australia's best capital city airport (2006, 2009, and 2011). It’s the 5th busiest airport in Australia with a record 8,090,000 passengers in the financial year 2018-2019.

The airport is home to 15 airlines, including international, domestic, regional, and charter flights. All operate within the all-new $165 million, 2,790 square feet Terminal 1. Singapore Airlines, Fiji Airways, Qatar Airways, Jetstar, Air New Zealand, and Malaysia Airlines are the international airlines to Adelaide Airport.

You'll find plenty airport facilities like eateries, retail shops, and cafes. And if you happen to arrive late or have an early flight to catch, you’ll find accommodation at the Atura Adelaide Airport Hotel. It opened in 2018 and sits just a few meters from the airport door.

Adelaide Airport Transfer - Comparing The Options

There are other transfer options to get from Adelaide Airport to the city and the greater Adelaide region. Besides private car service, you have buses, taxis, rideshare, and car hire. So, how do they compare? Let’s find out.

Adelaide Airport Bus Service

Buses form the largest part of the Adelaide Metro system. This public transport network also includes train and tram services. Be that as it may, only buses provide a direct route from Adelaide Airport to the city center and other key destinations. JetBus is the main operator with four airport bus service routes. These are J1, J2, J7, and J8. 

• J1: Links Adelaide Airport to Adelaide city center, Elizabeth Interchange, and Glenelg. 
• J2: Links Adelaide Airport to Adelaide city center, Greenwith, and Harbour Town
• J7 & J8: Link Adelaide Airport to West Lakes Centre Interchange and Marion Centre Interchange

Primarily, J1 and J2 buses will get you from the airport to the city center and vice versa. A trip to the Adelaide city center takes 20-30 minutes depending on the traffic. On the other hand, J7 and J8 buses connect the airport to south-western and north-western suburbs sitting between West Lakes and Marion.

Once you touch down at the airport, you can take the bus at Stop 10 near Sir Richard Williams Avenue. Note that JetBus services don’t run overnight. Plus, the operating frequency varies, and you may have to wait up to 30 minutes for the next bus.

Adelaide Metro bus fare is the same regardless of the distance traveled. Expect to pay a regular fare of AUD 4.05 to AUD 5.90 during peak hours and AUD 2.25 to AUD 4.00 during off-peak via MetroCard or ticket purchase. Nevertheless, kids under 5 years with adult supervision travel free. 

Pros and Cons of Bus Service

Adelaide Airport bus service is the cheapest way to get to and from the airport. Be that as it may, you may have to wait longer for the next bus. This won’t sit well with you if you’re on a tight schedule. Moreover, the bus service is only limited to designated locations and doesn’t provide airport shuttle door-to-door service.

Adelaide Airport Taxi

You have two options regarding taxi airport transfer. You can hail a taxi at the taxi rank on the left side of the pedestrian plaza outside the main terminal. Your second option would be to pre-book a taxi. Your driver will be waiting for you in the pre-booked taxi car park.

A trip on a taxi typically takes 10-15 minutes from the airport to Adelaide CBD. How much you pay for a taxi depends on factors like traffic conditions, the drop-off point, and time of the day. Taxi rates are charged by kilometer. 

In the case of Adelaide, it’s around AUD 1.87 to AUD 2.16 per km, with a base fare of AUD 3.70 and AUD 4.90, respectively. Note that this excludes the AUD 3 airport access fee. So, that makes it around AUD 18 to AUD 21 for the 6km trip to the city center.

Pros and Cons of Taxi

Besides private airport car pickup, taxis offer a faster way to travel to and from Adelaide Airport, making it perfect for anyone on a tight schedule. Plus, taxis don’t have designated drop-off locations and are available 24/7, meaning you can hire them for events and leisure trips. This also means you can enjoy door-to-door service like you would in a private airport car pickup. 

Nevertheless, there’s the issue of surge pricing. Moreover, you’re likely to run into scammers at the airport pretending to be legit taxi drivers. Stay safe by only hailing a taxi at the official taxi rank or by pre-booking your taxi ride.

Adelaide Airport Rideshare Services

Uber, Go Catch, and Ola are the primary rideshare service providers in Adelaide. Other options are Shebah and MyCar. Typically, you reserve your ride using an app. The pickup area for rideshare services is next to the Terminal car park, a 2-3 minute walk.

Uber services prove more convenient, and for good reason. Unlike other rideshare services, your driver receives a notification of the exact place you’re waiting. For the record, there are two waiting zones (zone 1 and zone 2).

There’s no taxi meter. But like taxis, the fare depends on the drop-off location and time of the day. According to Uber estimates, a trip from Adelaide Airport to CBD is around AUD 17. Note that this doesn’t include the airport access fee.

Pros and Cons of Rideshare

Except for extreme traffic, rideshare charges are cheaper than taxi fare. Plus, it’s just as fast, making it great if you’re running late. Also, some rideshare companies offer discount codes and promotions. With enough referrals, for instance, you may end up paying nothing for your trip.

Nevertheless, the service isn’t without some red flags. These include price fluctuations, limited luggage space, and the risk of delays. Plus, you’re more likely to get a ride from an unlicensed driver.

Adelaide Airport Rental Cars

You can hire a car from Adelaide Airport. Nevertheless, we recommend booking in advance to ensure availability. Key car rental companies at the airport are Hertz, Avis, SIXT, Budget, Europcar, and Enterprise, just to mention a few. So, you stand a greater chance of striking the best car hire rate. You’ll find the car hire section within the Terminal opposite the baggage carousels.

Pros and Cons of Car Hire

Car hire gives more flexibility and freedom to explore Adelaide’s sights and key destinations. Also, it saves you the need of having to arrange transportation to and from the airport separately. Even better, you have more vehicle options to best suit your specific requirements.

Be that as it may, car hire is the most expensive option. Also, it can be a hassle if you’re unfamiliar with Adelaide and its traffic. Another drawback is airport surcharges and fees. Concession recovery fees, for instance, can significantly increase the overall rental price.

Adelaide Airport Transfer with Private Car Service

Also, you get to select your vehicle type and get luggage assistance from your driver. Flat rate fees and meet-and-greet service are other perks that come with Adelaide's private car service Plus, it’s a faster way to travel and delays are quite rare.

The downside of chauffeured car hire is that it’s expensive. Nevertheless, private car pickup can be a cost-effective option if you travel in groups. That way, you can split the cost, making the ride cheaper and more comfortable than taxis.
