Hobart International Airport is located in the city of Tasmania, Australia, and is one of the busiest international airports. As it is only 30 minutes from the capital of Tasmania, it is no surprise that it is chosen by millions of passengers every year.
If you want to start your trip with full freedom as soon as you land, we’d recommend renting a car as soon as you arrive into the country. At the airport, you will find the best-known companies, such as AVIS, Budget, Hertz, Alamo Australia, among many others. What makes this an ideal option is that many of these companies offer several methods of payment, so you can easily pay well in advance, should you choose to do so.
Choosing to rent a car at the airport, while more convenient, can be a little more expensive. But, fear not, this doesn’t mean there aren’t other options available to you. If you travel into the city, there are plenty of other car rental agencies available to you. In the city itself, you can still use companies such as Hertz, Sixt and Budget, but you will also have the option to choose a local agency too, should you wish to go with that option.
If you do decide to go with a local agency, it is always recommended that you try to pay with cash where possible.
Driving through Tasmania is undoubtedly a wonderful experience, as its roads are very well maintained, constantly kept clear, and it has one of the most fabulous landscapes in the world. However, this does not mean that it is easy. The biggest threat to tourists is the number of animals that roam the roads, which is very common throughout the whole of Australia and should be taken extremely seriously.
Some extra tips you might want to keep in mind when driving in and around Hobart are:
Among the international car rental companies that are available to you when visiting this part of Australia, there are a number of other, more local companies you might want to consider first.

Not only do they have a large selection of cars available, but they also have the option of delivering the car to you at the airport and you can return it there to enjoy the car throughout the trip – from start to finish.
Hobart's beaches are a must-visit when staying in and around Tasmania. You can walk the streets of Hobart, which, if you have ever visited Melbourne, will instantly make you think of this infamous city. Another place to go, for the nature-lovers, is the Tasman National Park, where you will see the most beautiful landscapes in all of Australia, as well as the Freycinet National Park and Wineglass Bay.
