The picturesque island to the south of Hobart is a must-do for visitors to Tasmania.
Renting a car allows visitors to Bruny the opportunity to explore at their own pace.
If you plan to rent a car for your trip, make sure you chose a car rental company that allows their cars on Bruny Island – some don’t, which can make things tricky if you need assistance whilst you are there.
Drive Car Hire permits our cars to travel to Bruny without any additional restrictions and you won’t need to sign any additional waivers.
How to get to Bruny Island
Bruny Island is reached by ferry. The ferry departs from Kettering, a 30 minute drive south of Hobart and the journey across the D’Entrecasteaux Channel takes 20 minutes.
You can find details about the Sealink Ferry, including timetable and prices, here.
There is no public transport on the island, so unless you are joining an organised tour, the best way to explore the island is by car.
