Launceston to Hobart Campervan Rental

Yes - simply use the search tool at the top of this page to check availability.

The majority of motorhome hire companies in Tasmania have their branch located in Hobart, so you'll find a wider selection of hire vehicles available there.

Not many rental campervans in Australia accommodate a bike rack.

Let’s Go Motorhomes allows and hires bike racks (on motorhomes only), while Jucy allows but does not hire bike racks. There is also the option to store a bike inside a larger motorhome rental from Apollo, Cheapa Campa and Hippie.

It’s worth noting that bikes should be kept in a bag if stored inside, and extra care should be taken when bringing your own bike rack if it is allowed.

Most campervan hire companies require a current, full (unrestricted) car driver’s licence to hire in Launceston (learner licences are not accepted). International travellers: if your licence is not in English, you’ll need an International Drivers Permit or an accredited English translation of an equivalent overseas licence.

Minimum driver age varies by supplier and vehicle type. Many fleets require drivers to be 21+, but some vehicles may be available to drivers aged 18+ with a full licence. Young driver surcharges may apply depending on the provider.

Some hire companies restrict driving on unsealed roads (i.e., the southern parts of Bruny or Cockle Creek). Double-check your route with the company before you go.

Yes, the most popular route is Hobart to Launceston (or the other way around). Vehicles can also be picked up in Devonport, though the choices there are limited.

Most suppliers have their branch located in Hobart, so the largest selection of campervans is available there. As a result, many travellers decide to do a full circuit of the island, travelling one way along the east coast and the other along the west coast of the island.

This allows you to see many of Tasmania's popular tourist attractions, starting with visitor favourites Mount Wellington and Salamanca Market in Hobart City, through the Tasman Peninsula, Freycinet National Park and Wineglass Bay on the east coast, to Cradle Mountain and the Tamar Valley up north and the Gordon River along the rugged west coast.
