Mawson Lakes lies about 20 kilometres from Adelaide Airport, which places it about 16km from the Adelaide CBD. Getting there from the airport takes an average of 30-35 minutes, depending on the form of transport you choose. You could choose public transport, which is often the cheapest option. However, it’s not without its drawbacks. Firstly, public transport can take a long time and often requires numerous services to get you where you need to go. Secondly, it often takes you to the nearest station or stop, before leaving you to make up the remaining distance to your destination on foot.

When you’re travelling with heavy luggage from the airport that can be a major setback. Lastly, public transport can add up in cost because charges are incurred per person. A large group or family can end up with a hefty fee after a day on the buses or trains, which often negates the appeal of public transport to begin with. A Car Australia transfer, on the other hand, has more reliable pricing and far greater comfort. Our professional drivers get you where you need to be, and quickly.

Pick Up and Other Information

Travel times

Travel times: knowing what to expect is the key to all successful plans, but it’s important to recognise that travel times do vary. Because the trip from Adelaide Airport to Mawson Lakes does pass through the centre of a capital city, traffic congestion is always a risk. And during peak hour, that congestion can rise to the point of delay, and you might find yourself with a longer than average journey on your hands. During peak hour, the trip from Mawson Lakes to Adelaide Airport (and vice versa) can take up to 45 minutes. Off peak, it can take as few as 24 minutes. So, if you’re planning a trip with tight timeframes, it might be worth scheduling your travel outside of peak periods.

Adelaide Airport

Adelaide Airport might be one of the smaller out of other Australian capital cities, but its capacity for efficiency is as good as any. It consists of one terminal that services both international and domestic flights from a number of different carriers locally, and abroad. It has a multilevel undercover car park, as well as 48 dedicated spaces for disabled access. In the slightly more distant long term parking space, there’s even a shuttle bus to carry passengers from their cars to the terminal. Inside, you’ll find transit facilities, restaurants, cafes, and even specialty children’s stores! If you find yourself with some time to kill in Adelaide Airport, you won’t be bored. When you book with Car Australia, you also won’t need to worry about parking. Our professional drivers will collect you from the terminal, and drop you back again when you’re done.
