Getting to central Alice Springs from Alice Springs Airport (ASP)

Alice Springs Airport is about 15 km south of the town centre. There is no public bus to the terminal, so you will need a shuttle, taxi or hire car.

  • Airport shuttle meets all scheduled flights and drops at hotels, motels and hostels in town. The trip takes about 15 minutes, longer if the shuttle makes several stops. Book online or buy a ticket from the attendant at the airport. For the return trip, book ahead so the shuttle knows to collect you.
  • Taxis rank directly in front of the terminal and run on a meter. The drive to town takes about 15 minutes.
  • Car hire desks (Avis, Budget, Hertz, Thrifty) are at the terminal. This is worth considering if you plan to visit Uluru, Kings Canyon or the West MacDonnell Ranges, as there is no public transport to those sites.

Rideshare apps like Uber have limited availability in Alice Springs. Do not rely on them as your only option. Once you are in town, the centre is small and walkable.
