Great communication. Very easy pick up and drop off. Vehicle was pristinely clean inside and out. Very impressed with the winter upgrade. Made the hiring cost extremely affordable.

We were most impressed that you…

We were most impressed that you delivered our Hire Car to the Hotel, even earlier than we had expected. Throughout our Tasmanian journey, which was a steep learning curve of the cars technology we were most impressed with the Kona’s ability. Our car had more than adequate power & handled extremely well. Thank you Jospeh, Andrew and Team Members for looking after us so well…We have never before experienced such a high level of service and care prior to dealing with Drive Car Hire…On our next visit to Tasmania we will be using your first class service again.

Easy instructions to follow to pick up…

Easy instructions to follow to pick up the car. We had no issues with the car while we enjoyed our holiday in Tassie. It handled all the windy roads and hills easily. I’d recommend Drive Car Hire and if we come back, we’ll get in touch. Thank you.

Car Hire

Excellent service with very streamlined booking and pick-up/drop-off instructions which ensured a hassle free car hire experience. We'll certainly use Drive Car Hire Tasmania next time we visit this beautiful State.

Smooth Operation

The collection of the Hyundai Kona from Hobart city was smoothly and personably conducted by the Drive Car representative. The car itself was in great nick and performed to our expectations during our stay in Tasmania without any need to contact Drive Car. The contactless drop off at Hobart Airport was not so straightforward as a result of airport construction works causing some confusion.
We would definitely use them again, particularly as they are a locally owned and operated company.

Helpful & Friendly Service

Helped us hire a car last minute as the previous company wouldn’t accomodate p-platers. The lady with the dark hair at the front office was Super helpful and had friendly service. 😊

Good and Bad Experience

The car was what we booked and excellent. The service provided prior to the day of collection was also excellent. What was disappointing is the application of a $38 public holiday charge for a contactless (lock box) pick up (Good Friday). Also when booked, there was no advice on a Airport Concession Fee of 14.00% ($147.42). I travel for work through other airports and have never been charged a 'Concession' fee.
