The car had a surface clean. When we opened the boot or doors, the insides were really dusty.

I booked the car using kayak, which was good! The car was good too, however Europcar has charged me for the car (which I had already paid for) and the fuel (which we filled full tank while returning) out of my deposit. I have personally gone to their store in Adelaide city and spoken about it, they asked me to call and e-mail customer care which I did. I have provided proof of my payments and haven't heard back from them yet!

What are the requirements to hire a car in Adelaide?
You need to be at least 21 years old to hire a car. If you are under 25, you might be subject to additional fees depending on the car hire provider. If you're over 70, you might need to provide a medical certificate proving you are fit to drive. You must hold a full and permanent driving licence, and you must have had it for at least one year before your booking. You should present your licence and an additional form of photographic ID. You might also need to include an International Driving Permit if yours is not issued in English. Cash payments are not accepted, so make sure you have a valid debit or credit card in your name at the time of booking, pick-up and drop-off.
What are the rules for driving in Adelaide?
It’s important to remember that traffic in Australia moves on the left-hand side of the road, and drivers overtake on the right. You can only use your phone in hands-free mode, and all passengers must wear seat belts. Speed limits in cities are 50 km/h (31 mph), but make sure you pay attention to the road signs as the speed is lower around schools and outside institutions of care. Australia's drunk-driving laws are extremely strict, so it’s best to avoid alcohol completely if you plan on getting behind the wheel. Check with Adelaide’s department of motor vehicles for any recent law changes.
