Devonport City Centre: Collecting your hire car near the city centre keeps you close to accommodation, restaurants, shops, and the Mersey River waterfront. It’s ideal for travellers who want a few slower-paced days in town before launching into bigger road trips through Tasmania. You’ll also have easy access to fuel stations and supermarkets.

- Road trip: Devonport is one of Tasmania's best starting points for exploring the island. With a car, it's easy to set your own pace as you travel between Cradle Mountain, the Tamar Valley, the Bay of Fires, and the many small towns that make Tasmania such a rewarding road trip destination.

- Family holiday: From beach days and wildlife parks to national parks and scenic drives, a family holiday in Tasmania often involves plenty of gear. A larger vehicle can provide extra room for passengers, luggage, and everything else needed for a comfortable trip around the state.

You must have a valid, full, active, permanent licence to book a car in Australia. A valid licence is one that’s not expired, suspended, or revoked. 

If you have a licence issued by a country outside of Australia, Turo requires you to have a valid permanent licence issued by your home country. If your home country's licence is not written in English, you must also have an International Driving Permit or an official English translation of your home country's licence.
