KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Alice Springs

  • Using car rentals in Alice Springs offers several benefits over using public transport. Car rentals provide better exploration opportunities since you can choose your itinerary and schedule. Therefore, you can take as much time as you need at one attraction site or even visit multiple locations without any restrictions from public transport. Alice Springs car rentals also offer a private experience, especially when traveling with family or spouse. You get the chance to have intimate conversations that would otherwise be uncomfortable to have on public transport. Additionally, you will save on costs if traveling as a group as you can split car rental costs. With car rentals in Alice Springs, you can explore breathtaking town destinations, including Alice Springs Desert Park, The Kangaroo Sanctuary, and The Larapinta Trail.
  • You are likely to land at Alice Springs Airport (ASP). The airport has several in-site airports at the Arrivals Hall of the airport’s main terminal building, near baggage collection on the ground floor. To be eligible for a car rental at ASP, you must be at least 21. You must present a valid driver’s license, which you must hold for at least one year. You must also submit your passport and your credit card with information corresponding to that in the driver’s license.
  • Using car rentals in Alice Springs generally requires you to follow their laid-back driving culture, considering it is a relatively small town with few occupants. You, however, need to be cautious of wildlife, including kangaroos and emus, when driving. The drivers in this town may communicate using gestures, including nods, to acknowledge other drivers. You also need to be culturally sensitive to the Aboriginal communities from the Indigenous Australian community and essentially be respectful to their local customs when driving through their communities. Strict laws are enforced on drunk driving, with heavy penalties for intoxicated drivers.
  • Despite the low population in Alice Springs, there are those times, especially when people are commuting to and from work or school, when there might be increased traffic. The rush hour is typically morning from around 7:30 am to 9 am and evening from around 4:30 to 6 pm. Several significant roads are frequently affected by rush hour times, including Stuart Highway, Larapinta Drive, Ross Highway, Gap Road, and Todd Street. You can instead consider alternative routes to avoid the increased traffic at these times, including Stott Terrace Street, Bath Street, and Wills Terrace Street. The summer season in Alice Springs may exhibit extreme heat, overheating vehicles, and Bushfires, and can make driving challenging.
