Booked a car last minute and was slightly sceptical because it was the cheapest hire car available, but we have nothing but good things to say about this business! Got picked up from the airport and driven to their place of business. The hire car was spotless, and pretty much looked like it was bought brand new just for us lol. We were handed a little sheet with a summary of everything we might need along the way; drop off time, fuel type, emergency contact number etc.

Drove around for a few days and handed back the car this Sunday. Quick and smooth handover before the business dropped us of at the airport again. Will definetly book with SafeDrive next time we’re in town. Thank you!

I recently hired a car in Hobart from Safe Drive Car Rental and had an excellent experience from start to finish. The team picked me up directly from Hobart Airport and made the whole process smooth and hassle-free. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional, which made a great first impression.

The car was clean, comfortable, and in perfect condition throughout my 5-day stay. Returning the car was just as easy, with drop-off right at the airport—super convenient, especially when travelling.

Overall, I’m very satisfied with the service. I’d happily hire from them again and would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Hobart.

Just wrapped up my trip and couldn't be happier with Safe Drive Car Rentals! We booked the car for 3 days. The car was perfect for the journey, very clean, comfy, and reliable. Pick-up was a breeze, the staff were genuinely friendly, and drop-off took barely a minute.

No hidden surprises, just smooth and good vibes. Thanks for making our travel easy, will 100% book with you guys again when I'm at Tassie next time 💃✈️

The whole process was very easy (booking, during and drop off). The guys were very friendly and helpful too. Cheapest prices in Hobart, along with clean and new cars (we booked 2 cars, 1 with 2 with baby seats, they set up very with no hassles).

Would definitely recommend and book again when down in Hobart!

I recently had an excellent experience with Safe Drive Car Rental, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable and hassle-free car rental. Communication with them was a breeze - they were consistently reachable by phone, making the entire process seamless.

The paperwork was swift, and to top it off, they offer FREE airport pick up and drop-off services, adding a significant convenience factor. I opted to hire a car for 4 days, and I was pleasantly surprised by their competitive and affordable rental fees.

Safety is a top priority for Safe Drive Car Rental, and they offer a variety of insurance options, providing peace of mind for the duration of the rental. I was delighted to find myself behind the wheel of an almost brand new Mitsubishi Outlander, and its performance exceeded my expectations.

All in all, Safe Drive Car Rental not only met but exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a trustworthy and customer-oriented car rental service in town, this is the one to choose. A fantastic experience from start to finish!

Great car rental- pick up from airport was quick and easy- loved it that we were picked up in our rental car so saved from an extra bag transfer. Car was immaculate and reliable. Thanks
