What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Adelaide?
Get your road trip off to a good start by selecting Expedia's collision protection. While there are all kinds of rental car insurance, this is one you should have.

Opt in to collision protection while reserving your Adelaide ride with Expedia and save time and money.
Can I drive in Adelaide with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Australia, 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 an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may 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 available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
