Discover Car Hire in Hobart

Hobart, while commonly known as the finish line of the world famous Sydney to Hobart yacht race, is also one of the most picturesque destinations in Australia. It is settled at the foot of Mt Wellington (which is snow-capped in winter) and on the banks of the Derwent River. It is the capital city of Tasmania with a population of just over 200 thousand.
