Pick up your car in Port Lincoln city instead of the airport. You might need a taxi to get there, but you can often save by avoiding airport location fees.
Travel during the off-season for the best deals. Winter has the lowest rates, while early autumn (around March) is a sweet spot for good weather and better prices than the busy summer.
A standard 2WD vehicle is all you need for most sealed roads in the region. You can save money on rental and fuel costs by not upgrading to a larger SUV or 4WD.
For popular times like summer holidays, book well in advance. Port Lincoln has a limited number of rental cars, and they can sell out completely when demand is high.
