Unlock the real Southern Tasmania
Hobart Airport is the perfect starting point for exploring the natural wonders of the south.

For a deeper look into history, drive 90 minutes to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Port Arthur Historic Site. If you prefer the wild, head west to Mount Field National Park to witness the stunning Russell Falls and walk among the world's tallest flowering trees, all accessible on sealed, reliable roads.

One Way Rentals from Hobart Airport
Pick up your car at Hobart Airport and drop it off in Launceston or Devonport. This is a popular way to see the entire island from south to north without having to double back, giving you more time to explore the East Coast or the wilderness of Cradle Mountain.
Please note that each provider sets their own rules for one-way rentals, and some may apply a mandatory local fee. This is clearly shown during the booking process.
Driver Age Requirements in Tasmania
Can I rent a car in Hobart if I am under 25?
Yes. While most providers apply a Young Driver Surcharge and may have specific vehicle restrictions, many welcome younger drivers who hold a full, valid licence.
Can I rent a car in Hobart if I am over 70?
Yes. Senior drivers are widely accepted in Tasmania. While some providers may have an upper age limit for specific premium vehicles, most offer standard rentals with no additional fees.
What is the best time of year to explore Hobart by car?
The shoulder seasons of Autumn (March to May) and Spring (September to November) are the best times for a road trip. You’ll enjoy mild weather, vibrant seasonal colours, and quieter roads compared to the peak summer holidays in December and January.
Essential Tips for Driving in Tasmania
One of the best things about driving in Tasmania is that there are no toll roads anywhere on the island. However, keep in mind that Tasmanian roads are often winding and can be slippery in winter; always drive to the conditions and allow extra time for your journey. Be especially careful at dawn and dusk when native wildlife like wallabies and wombats are most active near the roadside.
