Hiring a car to drive through Tassie is the best way to get around. Beautiful windy roads with picturesque scenery hard to beat. The East Coast drive from Coles Bay to Port Arthur was amazing. We also enjoyed a night stay at the Waundering Trout in Mole Creek. Recommended.

East Coast is located off site from the airport. If you must schedule an after hours drop off you must also plan transportation from the rental site to the airport. Not fully convenient.

Driving through the roads of Tasmania, you really get to experience the beauty of nature and wildlife that Tasmania had to offer. Definitely worth renting one when planning to go on a road trip with friends/family.

We love Tasmania. The 4WD was very comfortable with a family of four and luggage. If you are on the north coast pay a visit to Reliquaire in La Trobe and Anvers Chocolate for a hot chocolate. Both well worth it.

Tassie roads are often windy and hilly - an SUV is worth the extra - with extra space as a bonus.

On a very cold and rainy day my friend and I travelled all the way to Stanley for the view, but couldn't see much due to the weather, but visited the lovely Cow 'n' Calf Art Gallery where I purchased a magnificent print, Magical Rocky, Rocky Cape, NW Stanley which David Murphy kindly posted out to me in Melbourne. I now have a constant reminder of one of the many interesting and beautiful places we visited on our Launceston trip.

My partner and I hired a car to travel around Tasmania - it's an absolute must in order to visit all the great places Tasmania has to offer.
We were hesitant to get a hatchback car, as we weren't sure if there were any off road routes required. We visited Launceston, Freycinet, Hobart and Cradle Mountain without any road dramas whatsoever. Be careful driving at night though as there are so many wild animals sprinting across the roads!
