Tasmania is a brilliant holiday destination and undoubtedly the most rewarding on a self-drive trip. It’s small, chock-full of unique attractions and boasts phenomenal roads that are breathtaking at every turn. With a Hobart bargain car rental deal, you can enjoy a very comprehensive holiday without worrying about keeping to an organised tour schedule or, worse still, at the mercy of public transport.
With a hire car from Hobart, you can take in the sights of the Mt Wellington lookout (only 20km out of the CBD), and get up close and personal with all the most popular native Australian animals at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary. That’s just day 1! Don’t get restricted by the tight schedules of organised tours, hop aboard your own vehicle and enjoy the freedom that comes from car rentals in Hobart.
Book early — Hobart’s festival dates fill up quickly!

Hobart is a wonderful mix of young and old, historic and super modern. But most of all, Hobart is about resplendent nature. The outstanding wilderness is just out of this beautiful centre’s boundaries, and within a mere hour of driving out of the city (with your Hobart rental car, of course) you could be hiking, mountain biking or simply soaking up the awe-inspiring views. Fantastic food, beers, and wine, as well as a wicked nightlife and art scene, make Hobart quite the fabulous all-rounder.
Plan your Tasmanian adventure with our expert tips, and get ready to be captivated by every scenic vista and hidden gem along the way.
