Compare airport vs. city prices. Picking up your car in Launceston city might save you money, but sometimes the airport's convenience and competition make it a better deal. It pays to check both.
Consider an off-airport rental. Some companies are located just outside the airport and offer a free shuttle to their depot. This can be a great way to cut costs if you don't mind a short ride.
Book ahead for peak season. If you're visiting during the busy summer holidays (December-January), book your car at least three months in advance to get a decent rate and avoid sellouts.
Fill up the tank yourself. Always return your car with a full tank of fuel. The nearest petrol station is only a 5-10 minute drive from the airport, and it's much cheaper than paying the rental company's refill price.
What identification do I need to pick up my rental car? Valid driver's licence (plus English translation or International Driving Permit if not in English) and a credit card in the main driver's name.
Can I pick up a car if my flight arrives late at night? Most rental companies at Launceston Airport don't allow pickups after their counters close (around 9:00 PM). If your flight is scheduled to arrive after 8:30 PM, make special arrangements ahead of time.
Is there a grace period for returns if my drive back to the airport takes longer than expected? Most companies offer a 59-minute grace period. Beyond that, you may be charged for an additional day. Allow extra time for return, especially during peak periods.
Can I drop off my rental car at Hobart Airport instead? Yes, one-way rentals between Launceston and Hobart airports are generally available for an additional fee (usually $50-100). Book this option in advance.
Is there a free shuttle between off-airport rental locations and the terminal? Yes, off-airport providers like Bargain Car Rentals and East Coast Car Rentals offer free shuttle services. Call them after collecting your luggage, and they'll pick you up from the designated shuttle area.
