• Compare a city pickup to a local one. Grabbing a car from Adelaide can mean more choice and better prices, but factor in the 3-hour drive and any one-way drop-off fees.

• Don't overdo it on the car. A basic 2WD is fine for the main sealed roads to attractions like Wilpena Pound, and it will be cheaper than a big SUV.

• Play around with your rental dates. Sometimes extending your hire to a full week can drop the daily rate, making it cheaper than just a few days.
