Why Pick Up at Hobart Airport
Airport pickup is ideal for maximizing time and vehicle choice—especially for early starts to Port Arthur, Freycinet, or the Tasman Peninsula. You’ll typically find more vehicle categories (including SUVs) and better same-day availability, plus smoother one-way planning if you’re touring Tasmania. The trade-off can be airport-related fees and busier counters during peak arrival waves, so reserving ahead and confirming after-hours procedures helps avoid surprises.

Popular Driving Routes & Trips From Hobart
Scenic Route Options:
East Coast Highlights: Hobart to Freycinet National Park
Head northeast from Hobart to Tasmania’s iconic East Coast. This route is known for turquoise bays, oyster farms, and the classic Wineglass Bay lookouts in Freycinet National Park. It’s an ideal overnight (or longer) loop if you continue up the coast to Bicheno and back inland.
Tasman Peninsula Loop: Port Arthur & Coastal Cliffs
A classic day trip loop from Hobart featuring convict-era history at Port Arthur, dramatic sea cliffs, and short coastal walks. Roads are well-sealed and easy to follow, with plenty of viewpoints and snack stops along the way.
Huon Valley & Tahune AirWalk via Franklin
Drive south through apple orchards and riverside towns into the Huon Valley. The Tahune AirWalk delivers an elevated canopy experience over lush forest, and the region is excellent for farm-gate produce, cider, and cozy cafés.
Popular Day Trips & Short Getaways:
Mount Wellington (kunanyi) Summit Drive
A quick escape to sweeping views over Hobart, the Derwent River, and beyond. Dress warm—conditions can change fast and snow/ice closures are possible in colder months.
Bruny Island Explorer (via Kettering Ferry)
Drive to Kettering, take the car ferry, then explore beaches, lighthouse viewpoints, local cheese, and coastal scenery. Plan around ferry times and be ready for windy conditions.
Richmond Village & Coal River Valley
An easy, close-to-Hobart trip with colonial architecture, a historic bridge, boutique shops, and nearby vineyards. Perfect for a relaxed morning or afternoon drive.
Derwent Valley to New Norfolk & Mount Field National Park
Follow the Derwent River to antique shops and country bakeries in New Norfolk, then continue to Mount Field for rainforest walks and classic waterfalls like Russell Falls.
Car Rental Planning Tips For Hobart & Tasmania
Confirm license rules before pickup: Bring your valid driver’s license; if it’s not in English, carry an official translation or an International Driving Permit (IDP) as required by your rental terms.
Plan fuel stops outside the city: Distances can be deceptive in Tasmania. Fill up before long stretches (for example, toward the Tasman Peninsula or Freycinet), and don’t rely on late-night rural service stations.
Expect winding roads and slower average speeds: Many scenic routes are curvy with changing conditions. Build buffer time for viewpoints, roadworks, and wildlife near dawn/dusk.
Understand insurance, excess, and windshield/tyre coverage: Review your excess (deductible) and what’s excluded. Consider extra cover if you’ll be driving long distances where stone chips are more likely.
Choose the right vehicle for your itinerary: A compact car is fine for Hobart, Richmond, and Port Arthur. If you’re planning winter mountain drives or unsealed detours, consider higher clearance and check your provider’s road restrictions.
Have a parking plan for Hobart CBD: CBD parking can be limited and time-restricted. Use paid garages or clearly signed lots, and watch for event-day closures near Salamanca and the waterfront.
Check weather and road alerts before heading out: Conditions can change quickly, especially near kunanyi/Mount Wellington and exposed coastal areas. Recheck forecasts and local alerts on the morning of your drive.
Book popular sites and ferries early in peak season: For Bruny Island, align your schedule with ferry timetables and arrive early at Kettering. For Port Arthur, pre-purchase tickets if you’re visiting during holidays.
