Hit the road

Tasmania’s compact size makes Hobart an excellent base for exploring much of the state. From the city you can get to a number of destinations with ease — complemented by views of Tasmania’s famed and very striking landscapes. Encompassing fascinating history, local produce and wines, and natural wonders, the regions surrounding Hobart are well worth touring by car.

Book the perfect car
Derwent River and Hobart CBD

Convenient pickup & return

Rather than hustling at the busy terminal curbside, take your time picking up the car at a parking lot or garage. Check in, load up your luggage, and get comfortable with the car without a big rush.

Contactless check-in and checkout

Many hosts offer contactless check-in and checkout, if their car has remote access technology, allowing you to find the car, unlock it, and be on your way without meeting them in person. Message your host for specific instructions.

Free cancellation

Cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before your trip starts. Because life happens and it helps to be flexible when it does.

Discover the places Hobart locals can’t get enough of.

Mount Wellington

For uninterrupted views of Hobart and surrounds, it’s well worth hiking or driving up Mount Wellington. The mountain sits just outside the city and takes about three hours to walk up or 30 minutes to drive. No matter how you choose to get up the mountain, be prepared for a steep incline!

Battery Point

Battery Point has quickly become one of Hobart’s hippest suburbs, filled with historic architecture, trendy cafes, artisan bakeries, and local boutiques. Make sure to take a stroll down Hampden Road, the area’s main retail strip. It really feels as if you’ve stepped into a bygone era.

Salamanca Market

Every Saturday morning, locals and travellers descend on Salamanca Market. The market contains a mix of stalls selling everything from locally grown produce, baked goods, and deli items, to clothes, accessories, gifts, skincare, and more. There’s also live entertainment and plenty of hot food to beat Hobart’s famously fresh temperatures.

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to book a car on Turo?

To book a car on Turo, you must create a Turo account, be 18 years old or older in the US, 21 years old or older in the UK and Australia, 23 years old or older in Canada, have a valid driver’s licence, and get approved to drive on Turo. When you’re booking your first trip, you’ll go through a quick approval process by entering your driver’s licence and some other information. In most cases, you’ll get approved immediately, and you’ll be set for every future road trip, business trip, and family vacation!

Do I need my own insurance?

No, you don’t need personal insurance coverage to book a car on Turo.

What protection plan options are available on Turo?

When booking a car in Australia, you’ll also 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 $20,000,000 in legal liability protection for damage to other people’s property. All protection is provided by Turo Travels Mutual.*

How do I get discounts on cars in Hobart?

On your Account page, make sure you’ve checked the box to receive email notifications, and enable push notifications from the Turo app in your phone settings — we’ll send you occasional promotions, discounts, and deals!

Are there discounts on weekly or monthly trips?

Yes, many Turo hosts offer discounted prices when you book trips lasting 3+, 7+, or 30+ days, so you can get the best deals and lowest rates possible by booking longer trips.

What types of cars can I book in Hobart?

Browse the wide selection of vehicles for all kinds of occasions and budgets on Turo. Find a full-size SUV for a family road trip, a pickup truck for some errands, or a sporty convertible for a special night out in Hobart. For the lowest prices, use the “budget-friendly” filter to browse economy vehicles.

How can I drive unlimited kilometres during my trip to Hobart?

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit. 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 cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

What payment methods does Turo accept?

Turo accepts most credit cards issued by major financial institutions, including American Express and Discover cards, as well as debit cards with a Visa or Mastercard logo that are linked to a checking account.

Apple Pay and Google Pay on mobile devices are also accepted, but Turo does not accept cash or checks as valid payment methods.

What is the cancellation policy for guests on Turo?

You can cancel and get a full refund up to 24 hours before your trip starts, unless you opt to receive a non-refundable trip discount when you book. If you book a trip with less than 24 hours’ notice, you have one hour after booking to cancel free of charge. If you cancel after the free cancellation period ends, you will be charged a cancellation fee.

In the rare event a host cancels, you’ll be notified immediately so you can book another car, or we’ll help you find one. Your refund can be temporarily held to expedite rebooking, or the funds can be returned to your bank account — your choice.

What are the cleaning and safety policies on Turo?

Under the enhanced cleaning policy, hosts are required to clean and disinfect their vehicles thoroughly before every trip, so you can feel safe and comfortable behind the wheel. Turo hosts have access to training materials on enhanced safety measures and cleaning practices to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 or other viruses.

Is Turo a rental car company?

No. Unlike rental car companies, Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where you can book directly from trusted local car owners in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Turo does not own any vehicles — Turo hosts share their own personal cars and set their own prices, discounts, vehicle availability, and delivery options.

Is there a fee to add additional drivers to my trip?

There is no fee or additional charge for adding a driver to your trip on Turo. Only the guest who booked the trip (primary driver) can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add authorised drivers before your trip starts, though guests in the US, Canada, and Australia can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress with no extra charges.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s licence and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

Are there cars available near Hobart International Airport?

Yes, there are hundreds of cars available on Turo at locations near the Hobart airport. After arriving at Hobart Airport, skip the rental counter and have your car delivered for pick-up and dropoff at your Hobart hotel or the address of your vacation rental to save time and hassle.

What’s the best way to get from Hobart Airport to Hobart city?

If you’re planning to pick up a car from Hobart Airport, it’s just 30 minutes to the centre of the city. The drive is a pretty easy one and takes you via well-maintained roads the entire way.

You can also catch the SkyBus, a shuttle service that runs directly from the airport terminal to six locations around the city. Tickets can be purchased when you arrive at Hobart Airport.

Can you drive from Hobart to the rest of Tasmania?

Absolutely. Tasmania is a fairly small state, so many locations are within driving distance of Hobart — this makes the city a great place to base yourself on your Tasmanian adventure. Popular destinations like Cradle Mountain National Park and Wineglass Bay are only 2-4 hours away.
