Hobart, Tasmania – East Coast Car Rentals, a leading provider of affordable and reliable car hire services, has announced the construction of a new flagship branch in Hobart, Tasmania. This build reinforces East Coast Car Rentals’ reputation for exceptional service and competitive pricing, as it continues to grow its national footprint and fleet within Tasmania. 

The new purpose-built Hobart branch will include an extensive and diverse fleet of vehicles for all types of travellers – from compact cars ideal for solo or business trips to larger SUVs perfect for families and adventurers. 

The new branch is strategically located in Cambridge, offering a seamless rental experience with free shuttle services to and from the airport terminal and providing customers with convenient airport access without the premium costs typically associated with on-airport car rentals. 

As domestic travel and road trips continue to grow in popularity, so does the demand for flexible and accessible transport options, particularly in destinations like Tasmania, where self-drive experiences offer the best way to explore. 

East Coast’s re-investment into Hobart further enhances its ability to cater to the growing movement away from car ownership by providing budget-friendly, convenient and flexible transportation solutions in one of Australia’s key travel hubs. 

Ben Whitmore, CMO at  East Coast Car Rentals, says, “With its stunning coastal drives, iconic destinations like Port Arthur and Freycinet, and easy access to some of Australia’s most breathtaking scenery, Hobart is the perfect place to explore by car. We look forward to continuing to help visitors, and locals alike, discover everything Tasmania has to offer, from epic road trips through the Huon Valley to weekend escapes to Bruny Island.

“This refresh underscores our dedication to offering customers the same high-quality, affordable car rental services they expect from us nationwide, while also strengthening our national presence and reinforcing our commitment to providing reliable, accessible, and cost-effective transportation solutions across Australia.”

The new purpose-built car rental facility is expected to be completed and operational later this year. During this time East Coast will continue with its operation out of its current Cambridge branch. You can also find East Coast in Launceston.
