We are very pleased with our car rental from George. He was very kind and making sure we were able to have a hassle free pick up and drop off. The van ran perfectly and performed to our expectations for our travels around the area. I would highly recommend this Toro car rental to anybody who needs some extra space and a fuel efficient vehicle to get around town.

Things to do and places to see in Cambridge Tasmania

Cambridge offers historic sites, river activities, and scenic drives that showcase Tasmania's colonial heritage and natural beauty. You can explore the Coal River Valley wine region, visit heritage churches and historic homesteads, or enjoy fishing and boating along the Derwent River. Having a rental van allows you to easily access nearby Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, explore the Richmond historic town, and venture to Mount Wellington for panoramic views. Your van provides the storage space needed for picnic supplies, outdoor equipment, and souvenirs from local markets and craft shops.


Richmond Bridge and historic precinct exploration

Richmond features Australia's oldest stone bridge and well-preserved Georgian architecture that transport you back to colonial times. The historic precinct includes Richmond Gaol, St John's Catholic Church, and charming cottage gardens perfect for photography. Your rental van makes the journey convenient with available parking near the main attractions, allowing you to explore at your own pace.


Coal River Valley wine tasting trail

The Coal River Valley produces exceptional cool-climate wines including pinot noir and chardonnay from boutique vineyards. You'll find cellar doors offering tastings with views across rolling vineyard landscapes and the Derwent River valley. Van rental allows you to safely transport wine purchases and picnic supplies while visiting multiple wineries throughout the region.


Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary native animal encounters

Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary provides close encounters with Tasmanian devils, wombats, and native birds in natural bush settings. The sanctuary focuses on conservation and rehabilitation while offering educational talks and feeding experiences. Your van offers ample space for camera equipment and provides comfortable transport for families visiting this popular wildlife destination.


How to get to Cambridge Tasmania

You can reach Cambridge by flying into Hobart Airport then driving through the city centre and across the Tasman Bridge.

Top tips for renting a van in Cambridge

Book your van early on Turo to secure vehicles with features like all-wheel drive for exploring Tasmania's diverse terrain and keyless entry for convenience. Consider vans with bike racks if you plan cycling adventures, or pet-friendly options for travelling with animals to Tasmania's many dog-welcome beaches. Choose vehicles with backup cameras and blind spot warning for navigating narrow country roads, and look for heated seats during Tasmania's cooler months.

Frequently asked questions in Cambridge

Why choose a van for Cambridge adventures?

Van rental in Cambridge offers exceptional space for families exploring Tasmania's stunning landscapes and historic sites. These vehicles provide ample storage for camping gear, sports equipment, and luggage when venturing beyond the city centre to nearby natural attractions. Van hire gives you the flexibility to transport larger groups comfortably while accessing Cambridge's charming rural roads and coastal areas.

What should first-time van drivers expect?

First-time van drivers will notice increased height and length compared to standard van hire options, requiring extra attention when navigating Cambridge's narrow streets. The elevated driving position provides excellent visibility of Tasmania's scenic routes and surrounding countryside. Van rental vehicles typically feature responsive steering and modern safety systems, making them surprisingly manageable for drivers transitioning from smaller vans.

How to park a van in Cambridge city centre?

Cambridge city centre offers several parking areas suitable for van rental vehicles, though checking height restrictions at covered facilities is essential. Street parking along wider roads provides convenient access to local shops and cafes without the constraints of underground van parks. When choosing van hire for Cambridge exploration, consider the vehicle dimensions and plan your parking strategy around the town's compact layout.

Which van suits families versus large groups?

Families benefit from mid-size van rental options like the Toyota models, offering comfortable seating for up to eight passengers plus generous cargo space for luggage. Large groups exploring Cambridge and Tasmania require spacious vehicles such as the Kia Carnival, providing individual seating comfort and entertainment features for longer journeys. Van hire selection depends on passenger count, luggage requirements, and planned activities around Cambridge's attractions.

How to stay comfortable during long van journeys?

Modern van rental vehicles feature climate control systems and adjustable seating to maintain comfort during extended drives through Tasmania's diverse landscapes. Regular stops at Cambridge's scenic viewpoints and local attractions help passengers stretch and enjoy the journey rather than simply enduring it. Van hire comfort is enhanced by organising storage efficiently and ensuring all passengers have adequate legroom and personal space.

What van safety features matter most?

Essential van rental safety features include electronic stability control, multiple airbags, and anti-lock braking systems for navigating Cambridge's varied terrain safely. Modern van hire vehicles often incorporate reversing cameras and parking sensors, crucial for manoeuvring in tight spaces around Cambridge's historic areas. Advanced safety technologies like collision warning systems provide additional peace of mind when exploring Tasmania's winding coastal and mountain roads.

What protection plan options does Turo offer?

When booking a van in Australia, you'll choose between the Premier (if available), Standard, and Minimum protection plans. Each plan includes varying limits on financial responsibility for damage to a host's vehicle. All trips include up to $20,000,000 (per event) in legal liability protection. Legal liability protection protects against damage to other people's property and death or bodily injury (where the legal liability is not covered or capable of being covered by any statutory or compulsory scheme) as a result of an accident involving the vehicle. All protection is provided by Turo Travels Mutual.*

Is there unlimited kilometre van rental on Turo?

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit — you'll need to check on each rental van individually to see if this service is provided. On the vehicle pages, you'll see the total miles or kilometres you're allowed to drive under the heading "Distance included." You can find vans offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the "Unlimited distance" filter.

Do I need my own insurance?

You don't need personal insurance coverage to book a van on Turo.

  1. * Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan. Review the Guest Product Disclosure Statement for more information.
