Curious about car hire locations in Port Lincoln? With Turo, you won't be limited to the rental desks of traditional car hire companies. In fact, you can call the shots over where to pick up your ride, whether at the airport or in downtown Port Lincoln.

Port Lincoln Airport (PLO)

Located 13 km north of Port Lincoln is the only airport servicing the area, Port Lincoln Airport. As you'd expect, this regional airport has just one terminal (but it proves to be the busiest regional airport in South Australia).

If you plan to arrange Port Lincoln Airport car hire through Turo, chat with your host when booking to select an exact delivery location (which is likely to be right outside the terminal building). Keep in mind that there is on-site parking at the airport, but there isn't a way to pre-book a space.

With Turo, you can meet your local host at Adelaide Airport, the Adelaide Hills or even in the CBD of Adelaide. Then, you can easily hit the road and reach the Eyre Peninsula within a day or two.

Each plan includes varying limits on financial responsibility for damage to a host’s vehicle. All trips include up to $20,000,000 (per event) in legal liability protection.

On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

Turo accepts most credit cards issued by major financial institutions, including American Express and Discover cards, as well as debit cards with a Visa or Mastercard logo that are linked to a checking account.

No. Unlike rental car companies, Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where you can book directly from trusted local car owners in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Turo does not own any vehicles — Turo hosts share their own personal cars and set their own prices, discounts, vehicle availability, and delivery options.

There is no fee or additional charge for adding a driver to your trip on Turo. Only the guest who booked the trip can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add any additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests in Australia can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s licence and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.
