Car rental location Olympic Dam Airport

Location information for Olympic Dam Airport


Olympic Dam Airport car hire

Set amid a series of large lakes in remote South Australia, Olympic Dam Airport serves the nearby mining town of the same name as well as the wider area. The only scheduled flights offered here are to Adelaide on Alliance Airlines, with just over 60,000 passengers travelling the route each year. Car rental in Olympic Dam Airport is the most convenient way to cover the two-mile distance into the town centre.


Olympic Dam Airport facilities

There is a small car park at this tiny airport which consists of just one terminal which serves flights to Adelaide along with a handful of charter and other flights. Basic amenities such as payphone and toilets are available but there is little in the way of traveler facilities inside the terminal building. Car hire in Olympic Dam Airport is available.


Olympic Dam Airport excursions

Blinmin Drive and Olympic Way are the roads that connect the airport to the centre of the town. There isn't a great deal of tourism activities here, with most of the town devoted to the mining industry, and there is a monument at the discovery hole of the main mine. About half an hour outside of Olympic Dam is Lake Torrens National Park, a huge expanse of untouched natural wetland that is worth exploring.


Best time to visit

Olympic Dam is hottest in the summer months of December, January and February, when temperatures regularly hit above 30°C. These months can be unpleasant times to visit because of the heat, with April and October preferable. The area doesn't get a great deal of rain at any time of year.


Car rental in Olympic Dam Airport

Olympic Way, which connects the town to the airport as well as nearby Roxby Downs, is the only major road here. Nevertheless, traffic is scarce and there is never any congestion in the town or on its outskirts. Compare car hire options online before heading to Olympic Dam to guarantee the best deals. While highways are well maintained, drivers should ensure they are well prepared if travelling to remote areas in the region in case of breakdown.
