Also, note that the selection of rental cars available in Launceston may be more limited if you are looking for a long-term car rental, so it’s best to compare a few different booking durations first.
Will it be easy to collect my rental car in Launceston?
Some Launceston City car hire providers have depots that are easier to find and get to than others. Most of the depots within the city area are found in car parks or hotels. If you can collect a car outside of the CBD area, you may find it easier to access the car hire depot.

Public transport like ferries, buses and trains can also help get you to areas outside of the CBD, however, a rental car will give you the added convenience of travelling when and where you want to.
