  • Whyalla is the fourth largest city in South Australia, known for its shopping, beach life and landscapes with many natural attractions nearby, it is the gateway of the Eyre Peninsula. There are many benefits to driving your own vehicle in Whyalla, as it has limited public transport and many sites are a short drive from the city. To travel around and visit the local attractions, it’s best to use a car hire in Whyalla. With your Whyalla car hire, you can easily visit the foreshore and marina, the wetlands, mine tours and the Maritime Museum. A short drive out of Whyalla is the Flinders Ranges, great for a day trip when you have a car hire in Whyalla.

  • During the summer, there are many tourists and families in Whyalla. During this time, it’s common for pedestrians to jaywalk.

Keep an eye out when you leave the car that there aren’t any oncoming cyclists.
