Car Hire in Hobart

[robinph]

Can anyone give me the name of a car hire company in Hobart that we can pick up and drop off at the wharf. thanks:)

I tried organising that with a few companies but none of them seemed willing without charging an arm and a leg. We walked up to a car hire place, it was about a 10 min walk from the port, passed a few on the way so you would probably be fine with booking with anyone - they aren't far to walk to.

We found the same...most things are close at hand in Hobart.

We walked a few blocks to Avis, they gave us the best deal.

We had to join the queue at their office, along with everyone else off the ship.:D

hi

we just got of the diamond princess and did car hire in hobart

we used "rent new cars" in Hobart which actually is the thrifty car hire place but is cheaper to hire thru. It is an easy 2 block walk up argle street, from where the ship docks, look at it on google maps.I walk really slowly & it only took us 10-15minutes, Great friendly service, good cars. We will used them again.

Tip: Join Thrifty Blue Chip. Upgrade plus better prices. And of course, little paperwork.

We used them as well, two years ago. Same deal, cheaper, no problems at all, and got a great new car. Thrifty is also the closest to the docks. We will book through them again.

First time we just rocked up and struck it lucky......Second time we prebooked and just as well as they ran out of med size cars , so they had to upgrade up us to brand new Commodore Executive.....:)

 

No complaints there...It wa very nice , especially on the hills in Tassie.:D

 

Car hire is becoming popular with cruise ship passengers, and I guess it depends on the supply and how many ships are in town on that day.

we prebooked, did it all online

 

and when we were picking up car there were about 6 different couples/families off the ship waiting to see if they could get a car

we were served first as we already had booked & paid
