Seamless Experience
We had a really seamless and easy experience with Drive Car Hire. We hired a car online for pickup at Hobart Airport, we received an email beforehand with detailed instructions on where to find the car in the rentals carpark and found the MG Hatchback we had booked online waiting for us. The car was in great condition and was easy to drive and fuel efficient. It served us well for the 10 days we drove around Hobart and beyond. I would definitely use Drive Car Hire again, as they were affordable and made the whole rental process very easy.
Excellent customer service and hassle free experience.
We have hired cars on multiple occasions whilst holidaying in Tasmania and normally we go through the bigger well known companies, however this time we decided to give Drive our business and we are so glad we did. Being a smaller company we were not sure to be honest but after reading all the reviews we decided to give them a try and we are so glad we did. Their prices were half that of the other companies and we can not speak highly enough of these guys. Very professional right from the moment we picked up the car to the final drop off. We will definitely be giving them our business again in the future.
Great customer service, good selection of vehicles
Decided to rent a car after we landed in Hobart. Booked online with ease, collection and return at city branch was no problem as well. Excellent customer service, we were able to get a good, economical car that was perfect for our trip. Overall very happy, and we will definitely be repeat customers.
Great Tasmanian Company
Airport pick up and drop off from Launceston airport was seamless, took 2 mins to drive to the collection point. The driver was waiting for us when we arrived at the terminal and at drop off, took us straight to the terminal, no waiting. Online booking was easy and any queries were answered straight away. We requested a RAV4 online and got a RAV4. Great local Tassie business, would definitely use Drive Car Hire again when in Tassie.

Process was very seemless
Process was very seemless. The hotel arranged it all and the car was waiting at the front. Only one form to sign. Car was a RAV4 Hybrid and really enjoyable to drive.
Great value and customer service
The car we had for four days in Hobart was exactly what we needed and was the cheapest option we found by a country mile, even including complete insurance. Clean, modern vehicles, great friendly staff that made the process from booking, to driving away and returning the car a breeze. Summed up, great value and fantastic customer service. Would definitely recommend and use again.
