We hired a car from safe drive car on our trip to Hobart. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great rates. Would defiantly go back and hire again. Depot isn’t at airport but it was only a quick trip to get too and from which Safe Car drove us.

(Posting this here as your Perth branch and customer service team have completely ignored us).
I would give this company zero stars if I could. I was part of a group left completely stranded by your Perth Airport branch, and more than three months later, we still have not received our $614 refund.
Our group booked a 7-seater Nissan Serena for 7-12 March 2026. On the morning of 7 March, right as we arrived at Perth Airport at 5am, the company called to say the car wasn't available. They tried to push a smaller vehicle on us, which was completely useless for our group size.
Because they had no proper replacement, their Perth staff explicitly instructed us to cancel the booking on our end, promising a full refund within a few days. We trusted them, processed the cancellation as instructed, and had to scramble at the airport to find an alternative rental company.
Since that morning, we have been completely GHOSTED.
Customer service emails are being ignored. Worse yet, because your staff sneakily told us to initiate the cancellation, our bank in Singapore couldn't dispute the charge because the paperwork makes it look like we cancelled on our own terms. It was a dirty trick to avoid accountability and pocket our money.
Absolutely disgusting behaviour just for a couple hundred bucks. Do not book with this company, no matter how competitive the prices look.
Management: If someone from the Hobart team actually has the integrity to look into this Perth branch mess and return our money, I will update this review.

Service from the local branch was great. Chamika was very efficient and customer friendly!
He gets 5 stars from me!
Just have to note that the communication between the head office and the branch wasn't great.
I was at the airport earlier then expected and head office assured me I could call with internet to let the company know I arrived. Unfortunately this wasn't the case and Chamika was also surprised I was there early. So head office could do better!

Thank you Safe Drive for making my journey around Tassie a truely safe one. Car allocated to me was wonderful, so reliable and beautiful to drive, and great on fuel. The service from Chamika picking me up from airport and on the day of my return was just exceptional. What a happy friendly man he is. Very helpful getting me started on my way. Communication was also quick and very helpful when needing to speak to someone about drop off etc. Thank you again Safe Drive, will happily use your services on a return trip and highly recommend your rental services to anyone visiting Tassie

Renting a car is definitely one of the best ways to travel around Tasmania. I had a great experience with them. They don’t have an office at the airport but they pick you up from the airport to their office (5-10min) and drop you at the end. The driver, Chamika was very kind and helpful. He was always on time. Even if I arrived early, he came within 10 minutes. I also received my deposit 30 min after I dropped the car. Thanks!

I booked a car a month in advance, but this place is a total scam.
Communication: They offered a free shuttle but didn't pick up the phone for 20 mins. Had to take an Uber.
Facility: No signs, very hard to find the office.
Availability: Even with a month-old booking, they had no car for me. No apology, just a "take it or leave it" attitude.
Service: The staff acted like this happens every day. They offered a so-called "upgrade" which was clearly an inferior car.
They wasted our time and money. When we asked for a cancellation, they did it without even asking why. Unprofessional and unreliable. Stay away.

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
