Getting around Kangaroo Island without a car is difficult due to its remoteness and ruggedness. Neither public transportation nor taxis are available. You'll find plenty of Kangaroo Island car rentals by renowned agencies that also rent out campervans. Check them out on KAYAK and book one for a driving experience. Most roads in major townships like Parndana, Kingscote, and Penneshaw are paved, making them suitable for access by rented cars. If you wish to travel through rugged bush tracks to natural wildlife habitats and remote beaches, book an easy-to-drive ATV or 4WD.
When visiting the north coast, expect a lot of dirt roads. Some dirt coastal roads are generally accessible with standard vehicles. But they can be closed during heavy rainfall because they become slippery. Kangaroos, wombats, echidnas, and wallabies are common in remote places on the island, especially at dawn and dusk. They can come out of the bush abruptly, so driving slower reduces your chance of hitting a gorgeous animal. Also, bright headlights can blind native wildlife. One kangaroo probably means more are crossing the road soon as they like moving in groups. Do not swerve on the road, as you can quickly lose control. Adult red kangaroos are usually over 100 kg (220 lb) and have an average height of 5.9 feet. So, an automobile can be badly damaged by hitting such an animal.
You should be at least 21 years old to rent a car on Kangaroo Island. When picking up the car at the rental location, you must prove your eligibility with a valid ID and driving license. Check with your car rental company if there is a maximum age requirement. However, if you're below 25 years of age, you might be charged a young renter's fee calculated per day. You may also be limited to certain vehicle classes like compact, economy, and mini models if you're below 25 years old. Special SUVs, luxury cars, and premium models are reserved for experienced and older drivers.
