All rental company desks are in the arrivals hall. After getting your luggage, walk straight to the rental counters before leaving the terminal.
On average, car rentals at Hobart Airport (HBA) cost around AUD $160 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals available from AUD $19 per day.
Check prices for locations outside the airport or in the city. You can often avoid the 10-15% airport surcharge and save a decent chunk of cash, especially on longer hires.
Consider picking up at the airport and returning the car to a city depot. In Hobart, this is often allowed at no extra charge and can be a sneaky way to save.
Always refill the tank yourself before returning the car. There’s a 24-hour BP station just a couple of minutes from the Hobart Airport entrance, which is much cheaper than letting the rental company do it for you.
If you're visiting during the busy summer months (December to February), booking ahead is a smart move. Demand is high, so locking in a car early can help you avoid last-minute price hikes.

Is there a shuttle bus between rental locations and the terminal?
On-site companies are walking distance from the terminal. Off-site providers offer free shuttles that arrive in 5-10 minutes after calling.
Can I drop off my rental outside of office hours?
Yes, most companies have a secure key drop box for after-hours returns. Just make sure you've arranged this in advance and know where to leave the keys and paperwork.
Are there any car rental discounts available on my flight?
Some airlines offer car rental discounts when booked alongside flights. Check your airline or booking site for partner deals.
What if my flight is delayed?
Major rental companies monitor flight arrivals and will hold your reservation for delayed flights. But if your delay is over 2 hours, give them a call.
Can I pick up at the airport and return to a city location?
Yes, most companies allow this at no extra charge. Just confirm the city drop-off location's hours of operation so they'll be open for your return.
Do I need snow chains in winter?
Not for airport pickups, but if you're heading to alpine areas (Mt Wellington, Cradle Mountain) in winter, discuss this your rental provider. Most don't provide snow chains alongside standard rentals.
