• Compare a city pickup to an airport one. Grabbing your car in Devonport city might be cheaper since you skip airport fees, but remember to factor in the $25 taxi ride to get there.

• If you're visiting in summer, book a few months early because cars get snapped up. For a winter trip, you have more breathing room and can often find good last-minute deals.

• Dodge the daily GPS fee by using your phone's maps. Tasmania has patchy reception outside of towns, so be sure to download the map for offline use before you go.

• Always return the car with a full tank. If you don't, the rental company will fill it for you at a much higher price. There's a petrol station just a few minutes from the airport in East Devonport.

• Renting for a full week can sometimes be cheaper than for just 5 or 6 days. It's worth playing around with your return date to see if you can get a better weekly rate.
