Adelaide Airport parking and pick-up

As with most Australian airports, Adelaide Airport offers a variety of parking options to suit your needs:

  • Terminal Car Park: a multi-level secure car park that is a few minutes undercover walk to the terminal. This car park is ideal for people travelling on business, or those who want to meet their friends or family at the arrivals gate. It also has 48 disability parking spaces, and four spaces for electric vehicles (level 2).
  • Long Term Car Park (Outdoor): if you’re staying for longer than a day, this is the car park for you. It’s a short 5-minute shuttle ride to the terminal, which runs from 4:30am to 11:20pm.
  • Pick-up and drop-off: you can pick up or drop off passengers at the front of the terminal, on Sir Richard Williams Avenue. You’ll need to stay in the far left lane to keep traffic flowing.

Adelaide Airport facilities

Adelaide Airport is an international airport with tons of facilities that will keep you busy during your stay. There’s trendy bars serving delicious beer and wine, cafes where you can refuel with food and coffee, and restaurants offering something a bit more substantial. If you’re in the mood to shop, there’s Ripcurl, Seed, Witchery, and even a Lego shop to keep the kids entertained. There’s also postal services available if you need to ship something last-minute.

If you’re exhausted and need to sleep, the Atura Hotel can be accessed directly from the airport. Or if you’re an airline club member, there’s lounges for Qantas, Virgin, and Rex, where you can take advantage of the free food and drink. And of course, there’s free Wi-Fi across the entire airport.

Hahndorf

Hahndorf is a small town roughly 55 kilometres east of Adelaide. It was originally settled in the 19 century by Lutheran German migrants, which is where its Germanic name comes from. The town is famous for its German-style architecture and food.

This town is in the heart of the Adelaide Hills wine region, so is the perfect place to stay if you’re visiting for that purpose. And if you get bored of sipping wine, you can take a paddle boat lunch cruise on the River Murray, visit the The Aboriginal Art House for a little local history, or gaze in wonder at the gorgeous opals at the Australian Opal Company.

Whatever the reason for your stay in Hahndorf, we can take care of your transportation needs, and make your trip as comfortable and convenient as possible.
