Bruny Island

An RV is perfect for an overnight adventure to Bruny Island. Drive your motorhome or campervan to the ferry terminal at Kettering and take the 20-minute ferry. It's best to leave caravans at your Hobart park and take your car, as the ferry can be expensive and complex.

Frequently asked questions

How much does RV hire in Hobart cost?

Prices vary widely depending on the RV type, age, and features. On Camplify, you can find options from local owners ranging from budget-friendly campervans for around $80 per night to luxurious family caravans or motorhomes from $350+ per night.

When is the best time to visit Hobart for an RV trip?

The summer months (December to February) are the most popular, offering the warmest, most reliable weather. Autumn (March to May) is also beautiful, with fewer crowds and stunning foliage.

What licence do I need to hire an RV in Hobart?

For motorhomes and campervans (under 4.5 tonnes GVM), you only need a standard car licence. If you're hiring a caravan, you'll also need a tow-capable vehicle and to check its towing capacity against the caravan's weight.

Do I need to book caravan parks in Hobart in advance?

Yes, absolutely. Hobart is the main entry point for many travellers, and parks book out months in advance for the peak summer season. It is essential to book your entire route ahead of time.

Are there pet-friendly RV hire options in Hobart?

Absolutely! Many local owners on Camplify list their RV as pet-friendly, so you don't have to leave your furry mate behind. (Note: Pets are strictly not permitted in any of Tasmania's national parks, so plan your itinerary accordingly).

Can I take my hired RV on the Bruny Island ferry?

Yes. Motorhomes and campervans are taken on the ferry easily (book ahead). For caravans, it is technically possible but not recommended due to the high cost and narrow island roads. It's best to leave your caravan at your Hobart park.
