Driving in Tasmania

Looking to book a luxury or sports car with Overdrive?

You will see roads categorised as A, B or C when planning your itinerary.
·      A roads = major sealed highways
·      B roads = secondary sealed roads
·      C roads = often unsealed


Some unsealed roads require extra care. 

Be aware that Overdrive Rental Agreements contain special conditions in relation to unsealed roads. Do not use Overdrive cars on roads other than A, B, and C roads. Do not drive convertibles on C roads with the top open or windows down.

During the winter months, and occasionally spring, highland roads can be icy and snow is possible. Please take the usual safety precautions and, if in doubt, discuss the driving conditions with us.

Great supporting local businesses. Booking process and communication was excellent. Easy to locate pick up at Hobart airport, price was considerably cheaper than the major brands. Car was very clean and reliable Will definitely be recommending drive car hire to all my family and friends when travelling to tasmania

Very competitive price and excellent customer service - had a few questions which were answered and sorted very easily. No pushy sales people trying to sell extras, very easy pick up and drop off from airport. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a car in Tasmania!

Great experience! Easy booking, helpful customer service person whenever I rang on the phone, competitive pricing, good car options, car in excellent condition and very clean. Add to that convenient drop off and pick up at Hobart Airport and no hidden costs. And the big one for us was being allowed to drive on official dirt roads (we like to visit national parks to go hiking, so that is essential) and allowed to take the car to Bruny Island (again essential for us this trip). So many other companies don’t allow either of these things. I highly recommend Drive and it feels good supporting a local family owned business.

Perfect cars twice and we will use them again. This is the second year that we have hired a car from Drive Car Hire. The cars were both as new, with low kilometers, and gave us no reason to worry. The booking, collection and return of the vehicles was easy. We expect to be back again will be hiring our car from Drive Hire.
