A few things to know

Before you set off.

All rental questions →

We check availability before you enter driver details and again when you submit. Submitting creates a temporary hold; complete payment within the displayed reservation period to secure the car.

We automatically use the weekly rate whenever it costs less than the daily rates for that part of your rental. You see the saving before payment, and your chosen dates stay the same.

No. The security bond is a separate card authorisation before collection. Release or capture is subject to the Rental Agreement.

Request a car drop-off in Hobart. We agree the handover and return location and time with you. Confirm delivery availability and any fee before paying.

Drivers must be at least 21 years of age and no more than 75, hold a current, valid driver licence, and have held that licence for at least 12 months.

You'll need to provide your contact details, date of birth, residential address, and driver licence details (number, country of issue and expiry) as part of the booking form.
