Choose Your Vehicle
Flying to Tasmania and picking up your rental vehicle on arrival is a quick, easy and fun way to get your Lap of Tasmania started.
At the same time, choosing your vehicle can be daunting. There are plenty of rental companies in Tasmania and sorting out the good from the bad is very important – you don’t want to rent a lemon!
Tasmania also has unique terrain and weather conditions, which means some rental companies have hidden T&Cs that restrict you from driving on dirt roads or onto Bruny Island.
My guides help you navigate all the options, using my local experience and expertise to find the best fit for your budget and the type of road trip you want to experience.
I hope you find them helpful, and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch by email, or in our friendly Facebook Group.
All my Tassie info at your fingertips…
There are literally dozens of articles and guides here on the website to help plan your Tassie road trip – but it can take a long time to find the ones that are most relevant to you and your style of travel.
My eBooks pull everything together into one place, saving you hours of browsing and getting you on the road with my practical (and local!) tips and advice.

When only a map will do…
Tasmania’s remote location means there are internet ‘black spots’ across the island.
A paper map is the perfect backup, and I love the range from HEMA and Lonely Planet.
My HEMA maps are sourced through the wonderful team at Adventure Awaits, and they are providing Lappers with a generous 10% OFF when you use the links below, or the LAPOFTAS code on checkout!
