qbay46 Posted August 29, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2015 We are a party of 9 wanting to hire a car for a few hours. Could someone tell me if there are any car hire companies close to wharf in the city. Arrive on a Saturday and will return car same day. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted August 29, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Everything is close to the wharf in Hobart. The rental companies would be a 10 /15 minute walk away. Some deliver to the wharf , but the demand is so high on days a ship is in , that pick up from their depots is quicker.If you want a special vehicle , or a van for 9 people , make sure you book early to get what you want.

Even less about a 2 minute walk. But agree for 9 pre book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtn_couple Posted September 9, 2015 #4 Share Posted September 9, 2015 We've cruised into Hobart twice. Both times we've hired from Avis - they're a short 5ish minute walk from the ship. Definitely do book. We've had a car booked and witnessed people in front of us in the queue being turned away because they had not booked and Avis no cars left over. If you book they guarantee you a car. We saw car transporter trucks delivering cars there in the morning to cope with the demand for hire cars, but they only ordered in what was pre-booked.

Sandylee Posted October 4, 2015 #5 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Avis and Thrifty are very close, more like a couple of minutes' walk than ten. The other main car hire places are a little further although still quite easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
