Cheap car rentals in Yulara
KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Yulara
- To hire a car in Yulara, you must be at least 21 years old and have an active driver's licence. Most car hire companies will also require that you’ve held your licence for a minimum of 12 months. Additionally, you may need to provide a credit card or make a cash deposit as security for the hire. It's also important to note that some car hire companies may have age restrictions, and drivers under 25 may need to pay a surcharge; this is especially important to consider when looking for cheap car hire in Yulara. International travellers may be required to present an international driving permit by some agencies.
- While Yulara itself is small, there are a few roads that are crucial for getting around the area efficiently. The main road is the Lasseter Highway, which connects Yulara to other nearby townships, such as Erldunda and Alice Springs. It is important to know this road so that visitors can navigate through the area effectively and reach their destinations faster. Visitors should also be aware that there are stretches of the Lasseter Highway that are unsealed, especially when travelling around Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. Drivers should take care using cheap car hire in Yulara on these unsealed roads, as they can be slippery and difficult to manoeuvre; plus, your car hire company may not even allow it.
- Child seat safety laws in Yulara are in place to ensure the safety of children who are travelling in all cars, including hire vehicles. The law requires that all children up to the age of seven be restrained in an approved safety restraint when in a moving car. Children under six months must be in a safety car seat facing the back, while children between six months and four years must be either in a back-facing or front-facing restraint with an inbuilt harness. Children between four and seven years old must be in a front-facing restraint or a booster seat.
- With a scorching climate throughout the year, hiring a car in Yulara provides peace of mind, knowing you can hop in and drive off immediately. There is only one bus stop in the centre of Yulara where all passengers are dropped off, meaning a hire car is your best option for moving around the town. Other than driving yourself, the only option of reaching Uluru is by coach transfer, which costs approximately A$ 45 for a return ticket. Having a hire car also allows you to visit Uluru for sunrise or sunset without adjusting your schedule to the timetable, as buses only depart approximately six times per day.
- Reception offices for Avis, Hertz and Thrifty are located within the terminal building at Ayers Rock Airport (AYQ) and can be easily spotted from the Arrivals Area. As the airport only operates domestic flights, locating your hire car doesn’t take long and only requires a short walk from the terminal. As there is no public transport connection available, picking up a hire car will save you from organising a private transfer from Ayers Rock Airport.
- Drive cautiously at dusk and dawn because this is when wildlife and cattle are most likely to amble onto roads. If you see a herd crossing, reduce your speed and wait for them to clear the road. Visibility on Northern Territory roads can be difficult due to dust, so it is important to ensure you have a clear line of sight and ample space when overtaking. Although unsealed roads are commonly used and often appear on maps, only 4WD vehicles should drive on them.
- Due to having an incredibly remote location, traffic is a distant memory in Yulara. The busiest time of day on the roads is between 09:00 and 10:00 as tourists make their way towards Uluru, though it shouldn’t affect your travel plans.
- 25% of our users found rental cars in Yulara for $115 or less
- Book your rental car in Yulara at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Premium rental cars in Yulara are around 37% more expensive than other car types, on average
