For two or more people, hiring a vehicle can be a very economical mode of transport.

Tasmania is a particularly attractive self-drive destination. It is a pleasure to drive on roads with so little traffic. The majority of roads are tar sealed but, due to the terrain, some are narrower and have more bends than roads in other parts of Australia. Consequently, a little more time should be allowed for travel than the distances may suggest. The constant temptation to stop and admire the scenery or take photographs should also be taken into account.

A large range of vehicles is available for hire, from small, inexpensive cars to large people movers. All the major hire car companies are represented in Tasmania, as well as some local companies.

You can rent a vehicle for just a day, or for the entire length of your stay. The longer your rental, the cheaper your rental rate. All vehicles come with insurance, but there is a high damage excess and the cost of reducing this to an acceptable figure (optional) varies from $16.50 to $22.00 per day. There is also an airport tax on Hobart and Launceston airports. Some companies also have additional "extra charges" that need to be allowed for. If you book your car with us, we will specify exactly all the charges that you may encounter.
