I would happily use Leisure Rent again next time we go to Tasmania. The car pickup and drop off process was really easy. The car itself was in excellent condition and we had no problems with its operation. Price was very reasonable.

We hired the sleeper van for 8 days and managed to get around all over Tas so easily. Had everything you needed except a bathroom. Awning was great to have too. The bed was comfortable for 5"2 me but my 6" husbands legs hung off slightly. Will definitely hire through Leisure Rent again

We hired a premium compact car from LeisureRent for a 3 week trip touring around Tasmania. The car was spotless inside and out, inside was a printed inspection/checklist sheet with details of mileage and damage etc. and (unusual with hire cars in our experience) there was even a manual in the glove box. We drove over 2200km overall, in a big clockwise circuit of the island, and the car (a Kia Cerato) performed faultlessly. The rate was extremely competitive - about half the price we'd paid in previous years on the Australian mainland. Booking was straightforward, we were picked up and returned to Hobart Airport promptly and we would unhesitatingly recommend LeisureRent to anyone wanting to hire a car in Tasmania.
