We have been speaking with road trippers about fuel concerns in Tasmania and want to provide you with as much clarity as we can.

Below is a comparison of fuel consumption for some of our most popular cars, a few useful links, and our fuel policy.

The table displays fuel consumption of some of Drive Car Hire's most frequently rented cars including car type, car category, car model, average consumption in litres per 100km, and fuel type.

Electric vehicles

We have been renting EV’s across Tasmania since 2021 and have a wide range of electric vehicles with charging infrastructure.

Our team is happy to help you plan an EV road trip itinerary and weigh in on charging stops along the way. For an up-to-date map of the charging stations across Tasmania, please follow the link below.

Our fuel policy

We operate on a full-to-full policy where your car rental commences with a full tank. When you don’t return the car with a full tank, the following applies:

  • A refuelling fee of $22 is applied if more than 2L is required
  • Fuel is charged at pump price (we don’t up-charge you!)
