Taxis

Taxis are available but must be pre-booked in advance. A dedicated taxi service, such as Kangaroo Island Transfers, operates from the airport. It's highly recommended to arrange your ride before you arrive, as taxis do not typically wait at the terminal.

Several car rental companies operate directly from the Kingscote Airport terminal, including Hertz and Budget. It is essential to book your vehicle well in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons, as availability is limited. Having a rental car is the most common and flexible way to explore Kangaroo Island.

What a dumb idea to run a great big dry Airport.

First time on KI. Beaut flight down the coast and across the water. Fantastic runways, even the dirt one but what a big disappointment with the facilities at the terminal. A vending machine and water fountain, and this is supposed to be one of the premier tourist destinations in not only SA but Australia. Whoever is in charge needs to get their act together. Port Pirie which isn't even an RPT airport is streets ahead
