Adelaide Airport to North Adelaide Transfers

North Adelaide to Adelaide Airport — the return trip

Roughly half of what we do on this route runs the other way: collecting you from North Adelaide and getting you to Adelaide Airport in time for your flight. Departures are the easier half to plan and the easier half to get wrong, so we work backwards from your flight rather than forwards from a pickup time.

As a rule we aim to have you at the terminal 90 minutes before a domestic departure and three hours before an international one. Adding the 18–25 minutes drive from North Adelaide gives you the pickup time, with a buffer for traffic on the way in. That means a 6:00am domestic departure usually means a pickup from North Adelaide at around 4:00am. We will propose a pickup time when you book and confirm it with you the day before — and we would always rather be early than watch you sprint for a gate.

Early-morning departures are routine for us. Adelaide Airport's first flights leave before dawn and we run 24 hours a day, with no night loading on a quoted fixed fare. If you are booking both directions, do it in one go — we hold the return details and track your inbound flight when you come home.

What we drop off at in North Adelaide

Adelaide Oval, Calvary Adelaide Hospital, O'Connell Street, Melbourne Street, Adelaide Botanic Garden, Women's & Children's Hospital and Majestic Roof Garden precinct.

If your address isn't on that list, it doesn't matter — we go door to door anywhere in and around North Adelaide. Give us the street address when you book and the chauffeur will take you there directly.

Which vehicle suits this transfer?

For the Adelaide Airport to North Adelaide run we most often recommend the Lexus Sedan, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Mercedes-Benz V-Class. The right choice comes down to two things: how many passengers, and how much luggage. Tell us both when you enquire and we'll match the vehicle — there is no benefit to us in putting you in something too small.

Booking your North Adelaide transfer

Send us your flight number, the North Adelaide address, your passenger count and your luggage count. We'll confirm the vehicle and a fixed fare in writing, usually within the hour. From that point the journey is our problem — including if your flight is three hours late.

Return transfers from North Adelaide back to Adelaide Airport are booked the same way, and it's worth doing both at once. We'll hold the return details and confirm the pickup time the day before.
