Car rental at Hobart Airport

The actual driver of the car needs to be present in person at the collection of the vehicle. This driver needs to present a current valid driver’s license. If you are an international driver you need to present an International Driver’s Permit or your homeland current valid driver’s license in English. You also need to have either a main brand credit card or a debit card with you. Payments happen upfront before taking your vehicle.

You are not permitted to travel interstate in a vehicle obtained from this airport unless the trip has been pre-approved by the rental agent who must provide you with written confirmation before the start of your rental agreement. A situation like this is only possible through booking your hire vehicle online in advance.

When you pick the best car for you on the KAYAK website, make sure you request the addition of a baby seat or child booster chair as an extra. Don't leave this till you collect the car from the airport as you might find they don't have any available ones at that time. This optional extra is chargeable at a daily rate depending on the agency. They will not fit it for you at the airport, as you are meant to fit it yourself for insurance purposes. Make the process smoother by finding out what type of child seat it is and doing some installation research before the trip, although they are generally pretty easy to secure.

Not a problem! Be sure to let the agency know. Then drive to the designated drop-off parking lot at the airport and park the car in the marked area for that particular agent. A representative will come to do a walk-through of the vehicle, collect the keys and log the mileage. Please keep in mind that no deductions to your charges will pass because the car was returned early. You will be charged for your original booking period.
