What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Adelaide?
Start your road trip on the right foot by selecting Expedia's collision protection. While there are all sorts of insurance, this is one you'll need to have.

Opt in to collision protection while booking your Adelaide ride with Expedia and save money and time.
Can I drive in Adelaide with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in South Africa, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
