Travelling in Alice Springs with a Car Rental

While in Alice Springs, you will be able to see the art of the local Aboriginies, as well as learn of their culture. While the town is little over 125 years old, the local Arrernte Aboriginals have lived there for thousands of years and have an intimate connection with the land. To learn more of the original inhabitants of the area, head to the Strehlow Research Centre, a museum showing many Aboriginal artifacts. The Araluen Arts Centre houses many artworks, and the Old Timer’s Museum houses a collection of items from the first European explorers to reach the area.

Also popular is the Alice Springs Reptile Centre, where you can meet some of the local wildlife. Another experience not to miss is the sky at night time. Drive your rental car even just a few kilometers out from the city at night time, and gaze up at the stars. With no lights around to disrupt your view, you will be able to see more stars than city life would ever permit.

With many of the area’s famous attractions a few hours drive from Alice Springs, many people choose a hire car over group tours to avoid having to stick to the itineraries and time limits imposed. By renting a car you can experience the area at your own pace, and use your time to appreciate the surroundings. Not to mention in summer months with temperatures commonly above 40 °C an air conditioned hire car is a must.

Jump into your rental car and head off to see the local attractions, while keeping an eye out for unique wildlife you may see along the way. Head south for a scenic 4 hour drive to world famous Uluru, the largest rock in the world. A popular option is to spend the night here, and experience one of the most spectacular sunsets. Sunrise at Uluru is also worth waking early for, with unique colours emerging as the sun rises.

Continue further along from Uluru with your rental car and you will find The Olgas, giant rounded domes jotting up from the horizon. After another stretch of highway, you will also find King’s Canyon, where you will be greeted with panoramic views of the gorge, along with various waterholes which can be found by those who embark on the walking trails. With such spectacular landscapes to see and attractions which are quite far from one another, a hire car is the ultimate way to see the unique attractions the outback has to offer.
