Europcar Adelaide Airport Rental Guide

In Australia, you need to present: A valid full driver's licence for the main driver and any additional drivers showing a current residential address in English. If you do not have a valid Australian Drivers License, an International Driver's Permit must accompany your driver’s licence.

A valid credit or debit card in the name of the main driver, matching the relevant Driver’s Licence

A passport if you are not an Australian resident

If using a debit card, you are required to provide a second form of acceptable identification in addition to your driver’s licence. For example, utility or phone bill (with matching address), bank statement (with matching address), passport or a credit card matching the main driver information. NB: Payment by debit card is only available on selected vehicle types.

The Europcar counter is located on the ground floor of the airport, opposite the domestic baggage collection carousels. Privilege customers can make their way directly to the carpark office by following the car rental signs in the airport.

The Privilege board is situated at the pedestrian crossing as you're entering the car rental car park.

The Europcar car park office is in the back left, customers are to follow the wall to the very end once they've crossed at the lights to reach the car park office.

Yes. You will be charged a pre-authorisation fee on your credit or debit card. This means that the funds have been placed on hold as a pending charge in your account, and you may see it has been removed from your available balance. However, nothing will be taken out of your account and no charges will occur until the end of the rental.

Europcar releases the pre-authorisation immediately upon return of the vehicle via an electronic message to your bank. The actual release process can take up to 15 business days however generally it is completed within 3-7 business days depending on your bank. You will not see a refund, instead the pending transaction will disappear from your account

Additional cover to reduce your liability can be purchased at the Europcar counter when you pick up your rental.
