# Adelaide Airport transfers (ADL)

> Private Adelaide Airport transfers with practical chauffeur meeting guidance, local pickup time, AUD base fares, waiting allowances and booking rules.

Adelaide Airport (ADL) brings domestic and international arrivals into the main terminal precinct. Arrange a private transfer to your hotel, home or meeting with the pickup details and vehicle size agreed before travel.

## Pickup arrangements
Adelaide Airport says chauffeurs usually meet near the bottom of the main escalators at baggage reclaim and escort passengers to P1, level 4. Some arrangements instead meet at P1 level 4 near the lifts. Your booking confirmation takes precedence—do not assume either location without checking.

## Before arrival
Use Australia/Adelaide local time when choosing pickup; Adelaide has a half-hour offset from the eastern capitals and observes daylight saving. Give the flight number and let the booking team know about bulky luggage or child restraints before travel.

## Onward travel
For an Adelaide CBD stay, include the entrance and street number. A journey to Glenelg, the hills or a more distant address needs its own route quote rather than a city-centre estimate. For multiple appointments, compare a transfer with the two-hour-minimum chauffeur option.

## Prices and rules

Book at least 2 hours ahead using the pickup city’s local time. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup. 50% within 24 hours, 100% within 2 hours or no-show.
Partner promo codes are entered at the final step and reduce fare/extras, not tolls. Pay the driver on the day unless the booking explicitly offers another payment option. A quote request is not a confirmed booking. The booking quote/confirmation controls the actual price and pickup instructions.

## 中文提示
阿德莱德机场司机通常在行李领取区主扶梯下方会合，再引导至 P1 停车楼 4 层；也可能约定直接在该层电梯附近见面，请以确认信息为准。阿德莱德与澳洲东部城市存在半小时时差，并实行夏令时。
