Campervan hire in Adelaide

Picking up in Adelaide

Bowden is an inner-northern suburb of Adelaide, minutes from the CBD and close to the North-South Motorway. From here the wine regions are a short drive rather than a day's trip, and the long hauls west and north start on your doorstep.

Bowden has its own train station and sits just off Port Road, with the airport a short drive north and the Barossa and Clare Valley reached via the Northern Expressway.

Collection happens during the hours listed here, with a walk-around of the vehicle before you drive out so you know where the cooker, water and bedding are. If your flight lands late in the day, say so when you book rather than arriving after the desk closes. After hours collection may be available on request, but it has to be arranged in advance.

What to do first from Adelaide

The first night usually decides the shape of a trip: too far and you are driving tired, too close and you have spent a day going nowhere. These are the directions worth considering straight out of Bowden.

• Barossa Valley and Clare Valley wine country
• Fleurieu Peninsula and Kangaroo Island ferries
• Flinders Ranges on the long run north

Driving out of Adelaide

Fuel and food are the two things to sort before you leave town. Fill the tank at the last major town on your route rather than assuming the next one is close, and carry more water than you think you need if the drive heads inland. Mobile coverage thins quickly once you are outside the suburbs.

The depot's own page on the booking site carries the map and the operator's current terms: see campervan hire in Adelaide.
