Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to hire a car in Hobart?
The price of car hire in Hobart is influenced by numerous factors including:
- Vehicle type
- Length of hire
- Booking date
- Upgrades to standard protection
- Any optional extras such as baby seat or GPS navigation
If you want to keep costs low, why not book a car outside of peak periods such as Christmas and school holidays which is when you can expect higher demand and increased fees. Alternatively, we recommend booking as early as possible to secure your preferred vehicle at the cheapest price. NRMA members can also save on Hobart car rental through My NRMA, our member benefits program.
Can I pick up and drop off my car out of hours?
The SIXT Hobart Airport branch allows for 24-hour returns. Simply return your hire car to the SIXT car rental car park and drop the keys in the after-hours box on the counter inside the airport terminal.
Can I collect my car from Hobart Airport and return elsewhere?
Absolutely. SIXT offers one-way car rentals from Hobart Airport to other SIXT locations across Tasmania including Hobart City, Launceston, Launceston Airport and Burnie. Consider driving the whole of Tasmania or just in-between Hobart and Launceston if short on time. Note: one-way fees apply.

SIXT vehicles can be driven anywhere on the map including Bruny Island, however you are not covered whilst the vehicle is on the Bruny Island ferry.
