Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Tasmania

Tasmania — a region worth exploring

Tasmania's Overland Track stretches 65 kilometres through the heart of the Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair National Park, making it one of Australia's most celebrated multi-day walks. Beyond the trails, the island state packs an extraordinary variety of landscapes into a compact area — the drive from Hobart to Launceston covers just 200 kilometres, yet you pass through farmland, heritage towns and dense eucalyptus forest along the way. Freycinet National Park is home to Wineglass Bay, a crescent of white sand framed by pink granite peaks, while the Tarkine rainforest in the north-west shelters some of the oldest temperate rainforest on Earth. Head west and you reach Strahan, the gateway to the Gordon River and the wild, World Heritage–listed Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park. From Hobart to Cradle Mountain the distance is roughly 300 kilometres, a route that reveals how quickly Tasmania shifts from coastal city life to rugged highland wilderness. The roads are generally well-maintained and suit both campervans and larger motorhomes, though winding mountain sections add character to every journey. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan directly from local owners across Tasmania, choosing from a range of vehicles that match your travel style and group size. It is a practical, peer-to-peer way to explore an island built for road trips.

Best time to visit

Summer, from December to February, is the most popular time to hire a campervan in Tasmania, with long daylight hours and warm temperatures ideal for coastal drives and national park visits. The Festival of Voices in Hobart each July draws music lovers during the cooler months, while the Taste of Tasmania food festival runs over the New Year period. Autumn, from March to May, brings vivid foliage across the highlands and quieter roads. With Yescapa's peer-to-peer model, you often find more competitive pricing outside peak season, and booking a motorhome in spring or autumn gives you excellent conditions with greater campsite availability across Tasmania.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Tasmania

Tasmania has no toll roads, so you can travel freely without worrying about extra charges. The speed limit on open highways is generally 110 km/h for cars, but if your motorhome or campervan exceeds 4.5 tonnes, a limit of 90 km/h applies on most roads. Major routes such as the Midland Highway (National Highway 1) between Hobart and Launceston are well-sealed dual carriageways in parts, while rural and west-coast roads tend to be narrower and windier. Rest areas with basic facilities are spaced regularly along main corridors, and overtaking lanes appear on steeper sections to keep traffic flowing.

La mejor elección en Bretaña. Furgoneta impecable, nueva, muy cómoda, muy bien pensada y con todos los accesorios que puedes necesitar, fantástica. Nosotros viajamos desde España y solicitamos nos recogiesen en el aeropuerto. Sophie y Dominique han sido extremadamente amables, la comunicación muy fluida. Sin duda la recomiendo a todos los que piensen en viajar por Bretaña y, si vuelvo, repetiré. Gracias a Sophie y Dominique por vuestra amabilidad!

I had the most wonderful trip in Eve’s van. It has everything you need, a great sized fridge, a large comfy bed, cooking equipment, electrics to be off grid, a great shower & toilet. The van ran very smoothly and was a perfect size even driving through the towns was no problem at all. They were very accommodating, helping me with local tip and recommendations. I’d 100% recommend this van to anyone thinking of taking a road trip, you won’t regret it :)

Inigio and his lovely girlfriend looked after Dolly for one week here in the Algarve area. They brought her back clean and in really good shape. Before and during the rental period we had a very good dialogue. I can highly reccomend them to lend your car. :-)

Charles

Our trip was fantastic, couldn't recommend travelling Sicily via Camper further. Angela and Luca made that super easy with clear comms and help pre booking, during holiday and after. pick up and drop off was a breeze. Clear instructions on how to use the van. All in all great trip.

Fantastic experience. Raul really went above and beyond to help us out and was always responsive with any queries we had. The van was in excellent condition, had everything we needed, and was ideal for our trip into the Pyrenees, plus heading south for the solar eclipse. Would highly recommend.
