There is a free shuttle that connects all the hotels and campground at Yulara. There are also very pleasant walking tracks between them, with views of the rock, and opportunities for wildlife spotting.
Avis (http://www.avis.com/AvisW...) and Hertz (https://www.hertz.com.au/) have car rental offices at the airport. Both also have counters in the tourist information centre located in the shopping mall of the Yulara township. The roads connecting Yulara, Uluru and Kata Tjuta are all paved and maintained, so there's no real challenge to the driving. Car rental is the best option for independent travelers. High season rates are around $100/day, but advance booking in the low season can bring the price down to half of that, which is excellent value. Beware that only 100 km per day is included, and you'll bust this limit if you drive to Kata Tjuta. You may be able to avoid this limit by booking through AutoEurope (http://www.autoeurope.com/).
