Such an easy pickup and amazing experience driving to the East Coast of Tasmania. I got to see Tassie for the first time and was astounded at the landscapes, they seem to change every few minutes.... See more

First road trip in Tasmania
We were on our first road trip to Tasmania. Booking on line was easy and pick up was fine with really friendly and helpful staff.Would definitely use Drive again

Very easy company to deal with pickup…
Very easy company to deal with pickup of the car was straight forward great car and service. We had to extend our booking by a day due to a medical emergency so gave them a call got to speak to a real person who was very helpful would definitely use them again.
Drive car rental
From booking the car online to picking it up in the city Drive was very easy to deal with at competitive prices - Tasmanian company as well. Easy drop off service at airport and great customer service. Strongly recommend
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

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.

Very easy pick up and drop off at Hobart airport. Great little car - perfect for what we needed. Detailed instructions and communication from Drive. Have used previously and will definitely use again on our next trip.
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
Great locally managed company
