Adelaide → Adelaide CBD: key facts

A private transfer from Adelaide Airport (ADL) to Adelaide CBD costs €45 per car for 1–3 passengers and €65 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 8 km; the drive takes about 10 min with clear roads, so plan on 10–20 min at busy times.

Where the driver waits: The driver waits on the ground floor of the Adelaide Airport terminal, in the arrivals area by baggage collection (near the welcome desk), holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.

Adelaide Airport sits on the western edge of the metropolitan area, only about 7 km by road from Victoria Square. The drive heads east along Sir Donald Bradman Drive or Richmond Road to West Terrace and into the grid of the CBD. There are no toll roads on the way. Traffic is usually light outside the weekday peaks, although events at the Adelaide Oval or during the Fringe season in February and March slow the inner streets.

The CBD is a compact square mile laid out by Colonel William Light and ringed by parklands. Victoria Square sits at its centre, with the Central Market and Chinatown on Gouger Street a block west. Rundle Mall, the main shopping street, is pedestrian only, so drop-offs are made on Grenfell, Pirie or Rundle Street nearby. North Terrace holds the Art Gallery, the South Australian Museum and the State Library, and the Riverbank precinct with Elder Park and the Festival Centre lies just behind it along the River Torrens.

Public transport instead: Adelaide Metro bus J1 / J2 from Stop 10 Adelaide Airport (Sir Richard Williams Avenue, 2-5 min walk from the terminal) to Adelaide city centre (CBD).
