Very competitive price and excellent customer service

Very competitive price and excellent customer service - had a few questions which were answered and sorted very easily. No pushy sales people trying to sell extras, very easy pick up and drop off from airport. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a car in Tasmania!

Trustworthy Company

Great service, prompt reply and resolution to a specific query we had.
Easy car collection even though we arrived in Hobart around 11:30pm. Drop off was just as easy.
A lovely car was provided with some instructions left inside.
I would recommend Drive Car Hire to anyone, and would have no hesitation in using them again.

Drive Car Hire value for Money, Excellent Service.

Though not experienced with European Car Skoda, it was a pleasure to drive, once I got the hang of the indicators. Excellent fuel economy, great overall process for car pickup and drop off, compared to other car rentals very good value for money, car was in allocated spot and directions, pickup, drop off very easy as you're not dealing with any person directly at airport.

Thoroughly recommend!

Great experience! Easy booking, helpful customer service person whenever I rang on the phone, competitive pricing, good car options, car in excellent condition and very clean. Add to that convenient drop off and pick up at Hobart Airport and no hidden costs. And the big one for us was being allowed to drive on official dirt roads (we like to visit national parks to go hiking, so that is essential) and allowed to take the car to Bruny Island (again essential for us this trip). So many other companies don’t allow either of these things. I highly recommend Drive and it feels good supporting a local family owned business.

The whole process was simple and easy

The whole process was simple and easy, the car was in great shape and clean. I cant say the price was good or bad because car rental in Tasmania is expensive no matter who you rent with, but the booking process, check-in and out, and vehicle quality were all great.

Car Hire, Hobart Airport

Picked up our Skoda from Hobart airport, easy to locate and access to keys simple. The car was pristine, inside and out. Returning the vehicle was a very simple process, park back in the same bays and drop the keys off in the key box.
Would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to hire a car.

Perfect cars twice and we will use them again.

This is the second year that we have hired a car from Drive Car Hire. The cars were both as new, with low kilometers, and gave us no reason to worry. The booking, collection and return of the vehicles was easy. We expect to be back again will be hiring our car from Drive Hire.
