About Renting a Car at Ceduna Airport (CED)

Ceduna Airport (CED) is located 8 km east of Ceduna, a small town on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. With 5 rental companies, the airport offers a relatively good selection for such a remote destination. Ceduna is the last major town before Nullarbor Plain if you drive west toward Western Australia.

Ceduna is located at Murat Bay and is known for its oyster project – Coffin Bay oysters are farmed in the region. North along Eyre Highway you reach Yalata Roadhouse after 190 km, one of the few stops on the Nullarbor. Head of Bight, where southern right whales gather June–October, is 300 km to the west and is one of Australia's most spectacular natural sights.

If you plan to drive the Nullarbor, rent a reliable car and ensure full insurance is included – it's 1,200 km to the next major town (Norseman). Always fill up your tank in Ceduna before the Nullarbor section. Visit Ceduna Foreshore Visitor Information Centre for current road information and weather forecasts.

Is it possible to drive the Nullarbor with a standard rental car? Yes, Eyre Highway is paved all the way, but check your rental company's terms for one-way rental to Perth and any distance restrictions. How long does it take to drive from Ceduna to Adelaide?

It's approximately 780 km and takes about 8 hours via Lincoln Highway and Augusta Highway. Which rental companies are available at Ceduna Airport? There are 5 rental companies represented, which is unusually good for a small regional airport – book in advance as the fleet is limited.
