Hyundai Venue - good car, questionable pricing policy

Hired a Hyundai Venue. Car was in great condition. The customer service was good. However, we were charged both an after hours return charge and a public holiday charge, which my partner and I don't quite agree with. It just seems like an additional charge with no incremental value delivered to us. For the after hours return, we just had to drop the keys at the office and we were charged 33 dollars on account of it being after hours

Reply from Drive Car Hire Tasmania


Thank you for your feedback and for choosing our services, Anubhav. We're glad to hear that you found the Hyundai Venue in great condition and that you were satisfied with our customer service.

Regarding the additional charges for after-hours return and public holiday, we understand your concern. We'd like to clarify that these charges were clearly outlined at the time of booking and included in the total price that you accepted when you made the booking. These costs allow us to manage the logistics associated with operating beyond standard business hours at our airport locations, and on public holidays.

We aim to be transparent in all costs and that is why we break them down separately. We apologise if this caused any inconvenience or confusion. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration as we strive to improve our services. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly.

Thank you again for choosing Drive Car Hire. We are here to make your experience as seamless and enjoyable as possible and we thank you for taking time to share your feedback.

The procedure for pick up and drop off…

The procedure for pick up and drop off at Hobart Airport was simple and efficient. The RAV4 Hybrid that we hired was a great car to drive and extremely efficient on fuel. I would definitely recommend Drive Car Hire to anyone who is planning a fly/drive tour in Tasmania.

Great company to deal with

Great company to deal with, changed drop off time by two hours with no extra cost. Easy process to collect and drop off car at Hobart airport. Car was clean and ready to go. New Nissan Xtrail with only 1275kms on the clock. Very happy with the car and the service. Highly recommended.

Great to support a local Hobart Company…

Great to support a local Hobart Company instead of a multinational, the car was in Fantastic condition and pick-up was super easy on a Sunday morning, being able to have the choice to leave at the Airport was great (reasonable fee too, cheaper than a taxi to the airport), especially after driving back from Cradle Mountain and not having to worry about getting to airport. Will definitely use again next time I'm in Hobart. Thanks peeps at Drive :)

Drive Car Hire are affordable, reliable with excellent customer service

Drive Car Hire are a local Tasmanian company and are very easy to contact and they tailor the car hire to your needs. They helped us work out which size car we'd need to fit all our luggage and were happy to change to a bigger car. They are so much more personal than the larger car hire company and the Nissan XTrail we had was an excellent car and a perfect size for 3 adults. We use them every time we travel to Tassie
