Location information for Olympic Dam Airport

Olympic Dam Airport is named after a massive and remote northwest South Australia mine which sits over 540 miles from Adelaide with car hire in Olympic Dam Airport. In 2010, an excess of 60,000 passengers entered this airport, whose nearest settlement is Roxby Downs, a planned mining town where one-third of the residents are under 15.

Olympic Dam Airport facilities

Australia's 52nd busiest airport is a simple building with a single airstrip and comfortable wooden benches. Each day, two direct Alliance Airlines flights depart from this airport's open-air terminal to Adelaide. Hertz, Avis and Budget offer airport patrons ample opportunities to compare car hire, with driving being the only way to reach the mining communities of Roxby Downs and Andamooka.

Olympic Dam Airport facilities

The Olympic Dam mine was first discovered in 1975 and contains copper, uranium, silver and gold deposits. Advance booking is required to tour the mine, but car rental in Olympic Dam Airport can easily take visitors to numerous other places. The opal mining town of Andamooka is 20 miles from Roxby Downs, while Woomera is most famous for its space museum and missile and rocket range, which is the biggest in the western world based on land.

Best time to visit

Like other parts of northern South Australia, Olympic Dam experiences mild to cool winters between June and August. Summers are often blisteringly hot and dry. Weather is less uncomfortable, yet still warm, in spring and autumn. Rainfall is scarce and sunscreen is a must at any time of the year. Visitors should avoid the sun altogether during hot summer afternoons.

Car rental in Olympic Dam Airport

Borefield Road is the main thoroughfare through Olympic Dam and Roxby Downs, but a bypass road winds around Roxby Downs before it becomes Pimba Road on the way to Woomera. The Roxby Downs-Andamooka Road leads east to Andamooka. Four-wheel drive vehicles and frequent breaks are recommended when driving any of these isolated outback roads.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver.

Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.
