Additionally car rental companies are readily accessible. At Parafield you first need to take a taxi to Salisbury to get one and then have a 20 km drive back into town.
My only concern is having long waiting times on the ground or holding.
Wait times? In Adelaide? Lol
They generally don’t give you the taxi clearance if there’s a chance of a long delay.
I was vectored a little, but not much, but it was ok as it was quite scenic and a nice day. You’ve reminded me that I also factored in the taxi to the hire car and it was worth while. I rang the number in ERSA for the airport coordinator and he said come on down and it would be $60 or whatever it was and asked for a rough arrival time and he told me to park at the SA Pol air wing. That caused a little confusion when the ATC guy thought I was in a helicopter and tried to send me straight in.
