Prices and availability for Hobart come through our partner networks, EconomyBookings and Discover Cars. Your booking completes on the partner's secure checkout.
Hobart is small enough to walk, but Tasmania is not, and almost every reason people fly in sits at the end of a winding road: Port Arthur, Bruny Island, Mount Field, Freycinet and the east coast, Cradle Mountain in the north-west. Roads are narrow, hilly and often empty, with wildlife on them at dusk and dawn. Our partner network compares local and international rental companies with live prices, with pick-up at Hobart Airport or in town.

Renting a car in Hobart: common questions
Should I pick up at Hobart Airport or in the city?
The airport is a short drive east of the city and sits on the way to Port Arthur and the east coast, so if you are heading out straight away it is the natural choice. If you are spending your first nights around Salamanca and Battery Point, a city pick-up saves paying for a car that sits parked on a steep street.
What should I know about driving in Tasmania?
Distances look short on the map but roads twist through hills, so allow more time than the numbers suggest. Wallabies and possums are common on the road at dawn and dusk, and winter (June to August) brings ice and occasional snow on the higher routes such as Cradle Mountain and Mount Wellington. A small or mid-size car copes with all of it.
What licence do I need?
A full driving licence held for at least a year is the usual requirement, and each company sets its own minimum age and young-driver conditions. If your licence is not in the Latin alphabet, bring an International Driving Permit alongside it. The exact conditions for every car are shown before you book.
Is there a deposit, and what about insurance?
Deposit and insurance terms differ between companies in Hobart, so they are shown per car before you book. You will see what is included, what the excess is, and whether a deposit is held on your card at the desk.
Where does the booking actually happen?
You search from this page and see live cars and prices on our partner’s site. When you choose one, the booking completes on their secure checkout, where you confirm the details and receive your voucher. Show the voucher at the desk on pick-up.
