General Information
Hiring a car in Tasmania: Having your own car is a great way to enjoy the beauty of this small island state. Roads are generally good and traffic is light although roads are very winding and can be narrow in remote areas. Possible hazards include snow or ice in winter in the snowfields. Stray animals are a hazard in remote regions including herds of cows in dairy country. Particular care of wildlife should be taken when driving at night. Remote region roads which are unsealed require 4 wheel drive hire. Book all vehicles well in advance for peak periods between October and March including Christmas and New Year or special events.

Many airports now charge car hire companies an average of 10% airport service fee which applies to pick up only - making it cheaper to pick up at a city branch for a longer hire. Airport Pick Up Fee is advised within the booking process. For short rentals the airport pick up fee is often similar in cost to a taxi or shuttle service into the city branch. City branches are also only open in business hours while airport branches are open for all arriving and departing flights or will have a key drop facility for out of hours returns.

All states also charge stamp duty on car hire which varies from approximately 0.5% to 2% on total charges.

Insurance is included in rental rates with an excess or maximum liability payable in event of accidental damage. This excess can be reduced by payment of an additional daily amount. Insurance details are advised during the online booking process.
