Adelaide Car Rental
Known as the City of Churches, Adelaide is the capital of South Australia and the spiritual home of Australia's wine industry.

Adelaide and South Australia generally experiences a lower level of growth than other Australian capitals but retains a reputation as the festival city well recognised for its food, wine and special events.

Noosa by Car
Just 100km north in a Brisbane hire car travellers will find Australia’s St Tropez - Noosa - Queensland playground for the rich and famous. Here you will find luxury apartments, tres chic boutiques, trendy cafĂ©’s and expensive restaurants.
All this makes Noosa a holiday destination for people willing to spend top dollar.
But you will see many surfies too, attracted by the fantastic waves and the beach some call it a surfers paradise.
In Hastings Street you will find, next to exclusive boutiques, shops that sell surfing essentials.
The buzzing surfing culture works as a magnet to many a backpacker and you will find a number of hostels in Noosa.
Word has it that anyone can surf in Noosa, even if you have never seen a surfboard before.
So, when in Noosa book a surfing lesson at one of the many surfing schools, success is guaranteed!
Nature lovers will find the National Park much to their liking.
We visited the park on an early winter morning and could park our rental car in the car park at the park entrance. Be warned, this will be a lot harder to do in the school holiday.
An able bodied person can walk the trail around the headland in about 2 hours. But there is so much distraction along the way that it would probably take longer - we saw koala’s in the wild as well as a sea eagle soaring high in the sky.
There are several bays with nice little sand beaches and even one with good surf. To get there you have to carry your surfboard for about half an hour following the track. The bays are secluded and sheltered and therefore suited for families with young children.
On the higher vantage points there are wonderful views over the bay to Noosa and the hinterland.
There is always something (or nothing) to do in Noosa, but the first Sunday in November is always reserved for the world famous Noosa Triathlon.
Car Hire - There are several Noosa car rental places where you can pick up a cheap vehicle.
