Australia’s “Apple Isle,” the roughly triangle-shaped state of Tasmania is both Australia’s smallest and southernmost state, and is also one of the best to explore by hire car. A state so beautiful it really is breathtaking, Tasmania entices with its natural wonders, delicious cuisine, and relaxed vibe.
Many choose to fly into either Hobart International Airport or Launceston Airport and plan a road trip between the two. While there is plenty enough to keep one busy on a rental car road trip like this, the real attraction of Tasmania is working to get a little bit more off the beaten path, to explore that little bit further, and there is no better way to do that but by hire car.
Deciding on hiring a car is one thing, but finding the right hire car for you is a whole other question, and this is where VroomVroomVroom is here to help.
We work with Australia’s most respected car hire suppliers, and collate all of their rates into one space for you to choose from. With VroomVroomVroom you can browse live rates from Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, East Coast Car Rentals, Enterprise, Europcar, Hertz, No Birds, Sixt, and Thrifty, and sort the results by location, price, vehicle type and more. The whole process of searching, sorting and booking can take as little as two minutes, and our best of class customer support is just a call away should you need assistance.
VroomVroomVroom takes the pain out of hiring the right car for your holiday in Tasmania, we free you up to concentrate on planning the where and the when of your holiday rather than the how.
If you’re planning on a road trip from Launceston to Hobart, before you head south, be sure to explore some of the little-visited spots along Tasmania’s north coast — Devonport and Burnie are good destinations to get you started. The more traditional road trip between the two cities has both a coastal and inland route, and if you go with the former, be sure to work in east coast highlights such as Freycinet National Park, Coles Bay, and the spectacular Wineglass Bay.
The Tasmanian capital of Hobart meanwhile offers plenty to see and do, with world-class museums, galleries, and a fabulous food scene. While Port Arthur is a favourite daytrip from Hobart, by choosing a suburb like Sandy Bay for your rental car pipckup, you also get easier access to the beautiful Apollo Bay and Bruny Island.
