It is a trigonal planar molecule; this resembles a 2D equilateral traingle with an Aluminium atom in the middle and the 3 chlorine atoms situated at each of the 3 points on the triangle. The bond angles are 120 degrees. Other examples of trigonal planar molecules are boron trifluoride (BF3) or boron trichloride (BCl3).

The covalent bonds in AlH3 do not give Aluminium enough valence electrons to become fully stable, so it just becomes a planar triangle with 3 single covalent bonds connecting it to the hydrogen atoms. The hydrogen atoms are slightly more negative than the aluminum one, however, the atom as a whole is non-polar.
Molecular shape of AsH3 is trigonal pyramidal. AsH3 has a lone pair electrons, while BCl3 doesn't have lone pair electrons. Therefore, molecular shape of AsH3 is different from BCl3 (trigonal planar).
6 ligands makes it an octahedral complex, (not a molecule).
