To find Thrifty Alice Springs, just head to the corner of Stott Terrace and Hartley Street – across the road from the Overlanders Steak House. We’re just a short walk from the CBD, but a taxi is also an option, if you’re coming from the airport or further afield. The airport shuttle bus can also bring you to our city office, or, if you’re already within the Alice Springs area, then the local bus service has a stop across the road from us.
