Car Rental - Tasmania

Tasmania – The Apple Isle.

<p>Tasmania is Australia’s southernmost state, an island isolated from the mainland not just by sea; but by way of life and culture. It’s somewhere that intrinsically feels a bit different to the rest of Australia.</p><p>Tasmania is sparsely populated, and because of this, it has a sense of purity and isolation that’s rare to find these days. It feels a bit wild and untamed – and that makes it the perfect place to explore in a rental car.</p><p>From Port Arthur to Cradle Mountain, Tasmania’s rugged beauty is ideal for driving, with gently curving roads that reveal something new at every turn. And with the main centres of <a href="https://www.hertz.com.au/p/hire-a-car/australia/tasmania/hobart/hobart-downtown">Hobart</a> and <a href="https://www.hertz.com.au/p/hire-a-car/australia/tasmania/launceston/launceston-downtown">Launceston</a> just a couple of hours drive apart, quite a bit of the island can be explored in a leisurely long weekend, making it the perfect mini-break destination.</p><h2>See all that Tasmania has to offer in a hire car</h2><p>There’s a lot more to Tasmania than the scenery alone.
