Tips for renting a car in Tasmania

Browse helpful tips for renting a car in Tasmania including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on noviembre 20, 2024.
  • Before driving a rental car in Tasmania with little ones, it is important that you read up on car seat laws. Children under six months old must be in a car restraint that is facing the rear part of the vehicle. Children that are at least six months old, but less than four years must be secured in either a rearward or forward-facing child restraint with an inbuilt harness. Kids that are under seven must always be in a child restraint that is facing forward and has its own harness, or an approved booster seat restrained with a seat belt or its own harness. Children aged seven and up can use an adult seatbelt or a booster seat.
  • During your time in Tasmania, you may want to visit other parts of the country. If this is the case, you’re in luck, as you can typically drive a rental car from Tasmania to other parts of Australia, as most rental car companies in Tasmania allow their vehicles to be driven within mainland Australia. However, you will need to notify your rental company of your plans, as you may need to pay some additional fees, or they may ask you to return your rental back to Tasmania at the end of your rental period.
  • Whether you need to rent a car with four-wheel drive (4WD) in Tasmania depends on your travel plans and the specific locations you intend to visit. If you plan to explore remote areas, national parks, or off-the-beaten-path destinations, especially in the rugged terrains of Tasmania's wilderness, a 4WD vehicle can provide access to places that regular cars cannot reach. Some scenic drives, especially those leading to higher altitudes or more secluded spots, might be gravel roads or rough tracks where a 4WD vehicle is preferable for a more comfortable and safer journey.
