Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Hobart Airport

Hobart Airport — a region worth exploring

Hobart Airport sits just 17 kilometres east of Tasmania's capital, making it the perfect launchpad for exploring an island state packed with World Heritage wilderness, colonial history, and exceptional food and wine. From the airport, you can reach the iconic Salamanca Market waterfront precinct in around 20 minutes, while the dramatic dolerite columns of Cape Raoul on the Tasman Peninsula lie roughly 120 kilometres to the south-east. Head north-west and within 175 kilometres you arrive at Cradle Mountain, the starting point of the famous Overland Track. Tasmania's compact size means a campervan trip from Hobart Airport can comfortably loop the entire island, taking in Freycinet National Park's Wineglass Bay, the lavender fields at Bridestowe Estate, and the underground rivers of Hastings Caves. Roads here are generally well-maintained two-lane highways that wind through temperate rainforest, past glacial lakes, and along rugged coastlines — ideal terrain for a motorhome adventure at a relaxed pace. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan directly from local owners based around Hobart and southern Tasmania, giving you a wide choice of vehicles suited to the region's winding roads and cooler climate. Whether you want a compact campervan for two or a fully equipped motorhome for the family, peer-to-peer hire means competitive prices and genuine local tips to start your Tasmanian road trip right from the terminal.

Best time to visit

The best time to hire a campervan near Hobart Airport is from December to March, when Tasmania enjoys long daylight hours and average temperatures between 12 °C and 22 °C — perfect for coastal walks and outdoor dining. January brings the vibrant Taste of Tasmania festival, while February hosts the Australian Wooden Boat Festival on Hobart's waterfront. Autumn (April–May) offers spectacular foliage across Mount Wellington and the Huon Valley with fewer travellers on the road. With Yescapa's peer-to-peer model, you can often find better rates outside peak summer, and booking a motorhome for a shoulder-season trip means quieter campsites and easier parking across the island.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Hobart Airport

Tasmania has no toll roads, so driving a motorhome from Hobart Airport is refreshingly straightforward. The main routes — the Midland Highway (National Highway 1) north to Launceston and the Tasman Highway east — are well-signposted, single-carriageway roads with a general speed limit of 110 km/h for cars, though campervans and motorhomes over 4.5 tonnes are limited to 90 km/h. Rest areas with basic facilities appear regularly along major highways. Be mindful of narrow, winding sections on roads like the Lyell Highway to the west coast, and watch for wildlife, especially at dawn and dusk.

What our users say about our campervans and motorhomes in Hobart Airport

Attila
5 / 5

The trip was amazing. Francesca, the owner, helped us a lot and was always available. The van was really good, with big space inside. Highly recommended.

Andrea
5 / 5

Dominique is a wonderful, kind and attentive host. The van was perfect, clean and cosy. We loved the trip even though the high altitude passes were very scary especially as we are driving on the wrong side of the road!

Martin
5 / 5

Andre couldn’t have been more helpful, plus he is a positive, warm individual. The camper was superb in every way, hygienic, beautiful handling and equipped with everything needed, no silly extras for bedding. Brand new mattresses that were so comfortable and all the windows had bug netting so nothing could get in or bite us. Will definitely do this again, PLUS great value. Very very happy with service and equipment

Annemijn
5 / 5

Very nice owners, kind and flexible! The camper van was easy to understand, and comfortable to use - above expectation. Thank you!!

Elizabeth
4 / 5

Paloma was a pleasure to drive and really comfortable for our family of four. The van was equipped with everything we needed, beds were spacious and had safety nets, the shower and toilet were very handy, there was plenty of storage space and lots of room to move around. Susana was really helpful and accommodating and very easy to communicate with throughout our trip. The only disappointing aspect is that the fridge did not work, and the freezer only worked when plugged in. While the freezer was ok for keeping some items cool, it did make things considerably more difficult for us - we were travelling with 2 young children and cooked for ourselves most evenings. It was frustrating having to visit a shop every day/every other day and we ended up having to bin quite a lot of food. It is a shame this wasn't mentioned in the listing as it would have impacted our decision to book the van. Every other aspect was faultless and despite the issue with the fridge we had a really wonderful 2 week adventure in Paloma. We would definitely recommend if you are happy to operate without a fridge and can rely on the freezer.
