Though it is Australia’s smallest state, Tasmania or ‘Tassie’ as you’ll hear the locals call it packs a memorable punch with its personality and its peerless natural attractions. The best way to explore the quiet rainforests, the abandoned coastlines and the charming little towns of Tasmania is in your own time with a cheap rental car picked up from one of the many outlets located across the state.

Hobart and Hobart Airport are two of the most popular outlets, the capital city being Tasmania’s business and residential hub, and also serving as a great launching pad for exploring the rest of the state.

Right next door is the tourist-acclaimed area of Wrest Point with its own rental outlet, whilst stationing yourself near the depot in sleepy Burnie on Tassie’s serene north coast is another popular option, and is a unique point of entry from the mainland.
