Parking Adelaide | Cheap Adelaide Parking spaces to rent SA

Parking in Adelaide for both tourists and local commuters is like most major cities around Australia; not easy or cheap. Major CBD regions are often jam packed with businesses, offices, leisure and entertainment venues, and arterial roads and avenues moving people in and out, day and night. Running a close third behind Sydney and Melbourne, Adelaide city draws considerable tourism crowds to her southern skies and the coastal regions close by. If you’re planning to visit the country’s City of Churches by car, then you’re going to want to check out what you can see and do while you’re there, and the best places for great parking deals.

The airport in Adelaide is a comfortable 25 minute drive from the main city. Airport parking rates can be quite expensive, particularly for long term and weekend stays. You may find it a bit cheaper to source some relatively local parking near the airport offered by a local resident who has the space to spare. Fortunately, Parkhound has just the local resident ready and waiting with a car space for rent just for you. The way Parkhound works is simple: we put the people who need a parking spot in touch with the people who have a spot to spare. For example, if you’re travelling out of Adelaide for a short term or long term stay and planning to fly, you can leave your car close to the airport and pay a fraction of the cost of long term terminal parking. You would simply use either our website or parking app to locate a car park in the area you need it to be, get in touch with host who is offering a space for rent, and request to book it. Once the host advises you of any conditions they may have and both you and the host are agreed, you book your parking through Parkhound, pay with our secure online payment system and then park your car.

The same applies if you’re travelling into Adelaide’s city districts or nearby suburbs in need of parking in Adelaide that isn’t too hard to find. As a visitor, you’re not going to be familiar with how the parking works or where the best and cheapest parking will be available. Street parking throughout the city is heavily metered and carries strict time limits for parking. Most of these parking bays will also be equipped with under the road sensors which accurately measure exactly when you parked your car so inspectors can see how overlong your stay has been. No more chalking tyres anymore. Visitors who don’t have a feel for the cityscape can easily get lost but when you have your parking booked with Parkhound, your spot is always free when you need it to and right in your smartphone so you can navigate back.

If you’re staying in an Airbnb, then there may not be parking options included. Similarly, hotel parking is usually subsidised by the hotel but not usually be very much. You could still be paying extremely high parking rates to leave your vehicle parked at your hotel.

A quick search online will show you some secure parking garages and any early bird specials they might be offering, but as a tourist you’re going to want the freedom to explore the area when and where you want to. What you want to do is secure a spot that you know will be safe from parking inspectors for the whole day, but flexible enough so you can leave whenever you want to. You may find a great stall at the Adelaide Central Market and then want to go out searching for the wineries you liked the look of, the foodie experiences from local artisan growers and creators, or visit the local galleries of artists whose work you have fallen in love with. Adelaide is renowned for being a foodie’s paradise offering a range of different eating options down little laneways and around cute little corners. Enjoy rooftop bars, live music venues and great performance spaces. If soaking in the culture is high on your list, then you won’t want to miss a stroll down North Terrace home to the Art Gallery of South Australia and the South Australian Museum. It’s just a gorgeous 20 minute walk from North Terrace to the Botanic Gardens, famous for the dazzling array of rose species and aromas. Being tied to a parking garage is going to kill the ambience a little, so pick a space that lets you roam when you want.

Early bird parking rates are generally used by local commuters who are expecting to be in the office for the day. The parking rate specials offered generally restrict arrival and leaving times in line with peak hour. This might be a good option if you work in Adelaide, but if you’re visiting then a long term parking spot that you know how to get to and how to find again is the most ideal option. Disabled parking is also clearly marked but bays are limited and it’s often first in, first served so ensure you’re leaving in time to secure your parking spot.
