Tasmania Campers is a Hobart campervan and 4WD rental outfit with one depot: Clovelly Cottage, 32 Kennedy Drive, Cambridge, a few minutes from Hobart Airport. The name is literal. Vehicles stay on the island, so there's no taking one across Bass Strait to the mainland. It's the Australian arm of the New Zealand family-owned Tui Brands group, started by Stephen and Susan and now run by the second generation, the same group behind Captain Billy's 4WD Hire in Cairns. The budget Devil Campers line is the same company. Every hire runs on unlimited kilometres and includes linen, a full kitchen kit, RACT roadside cover and a tank of fuel to start. Five-day minimum, eight days over the Christmas-New Year peak.
The lineup splits into 2WD campervans and 4WD bush campers. On the sealed-road side, every campervan is built on the Toyota HiAce hightop: the Trail Finder 2/3 (sleeps up to three), the Trail Finder 4+1, and the Trail Finder 4+1 Shower/Toilet, which the company calls the only Tasmanian campervan with a built-in shower and toilet. The 4WD side runs three models, and they're not all Toyota. The Bush Camper 2-berth is a Toyota Hilux turbo-diesel, manual, sleeping two. The Bush Camper 4-berth is a Mitsubishi Triton dual-cab, the only automatic in the off-road range, sleeping two adults plus two kids in cabin beds. The Bush Challenger is a V8 turbo-diesel Toyota Land Cruiser, manual, 2/3 berth. Budget Devil Finder and Devil Sleepervan vans round it out, also HiAce-based.
Every van picks up at the one depot on Kennedy Drive, Cambridge, minutes from Hobart Airport. From there it's all Tasmania, with unlimited kilometres. Here's where the island sends you.
Tasmania only. The fleet runs from a single depot at 32 Kennedy Drive, Cambridge 7170, a few minutes from Hobart Airport. There's no Launceston or Devonport branch, and vehicles are restricted to Tasmania under the rental terms. The wider Tui Brands group runs other companies on the mainland (Captain Billy's 4WD Hire in Cairns) and in New Zealand, but those are separate businesses. Plan your loop around the island, not a Bass Strait crossing.
Read the fine print before you point one at a creek. The Bush Camper 2-berth (Hilux), Bush Camper 4-berth (Triton) and Bush Challenger (Land Cruiser V8) are genuine 4WDs, but the terms exclude all liability for water crossings, vehicle submersion, beach driving, and any breakdown or accident on unsealed roads. Bogged-vehicle recovery is on you too. The 4x4 capability is real for gravel touring; the insurance doesn't cover hardcore off-road or fording, so drive accordingly.
At pickup they take a credit card imprint as the bond, equal to your excess: AU$5,000 on Trail Finder 2WD campervans, AU$6,000 on the 4WD Bush range, AU$4,000 on Devil Campers (higher for under-25 drivers). Visa/MasterCard only, with a 2% surcharge; debit cards get the full excess debited unless you buy the waiver. You can reduce the excess with daily options, down to AU$600 or zero. No credit card means a cash bond held 21 days after hire.
More than most budget brands. The rate includes GST, daily insurance and unlimited kilometres, plus freshly laundered linen, pillows and towels, a full kitchen kit (gas cooker, fridge, crockery, cutlery, pots, kettle, toaster), statewide RACT roadside assistance, no charge for extra drivers, and a starting tank of fuel to return full. Picnic table and chairs are a paid extra unless you take the top excess-reduction option. Minimum hire is 5 days, or 8 days over 20 December to 10 January.
No. You pick up and drop off in Tasmania, so the Spirit of Tasmania ferry between Melbourne and Devonport isn't part of the hire. Most travellers fly into Hobart and collect the van minutes away at the Cambridge depot. Because the vehicles cannot leave Tasmania, you can't drive one onto the ferry to the mainland anyway. If you're bringing your own car across on the Spirit, that's a separate booking unrelated to renting here.
Not at the moment. CampervanPlanet compares Tasmania Campers with other Hobart options so you can weigh its 2WD and 4WD vans, bond and inclusions, but it can't be booked through us today. You can book Tasmania Campers directly, or use the search on this page to compare live prices from the companies you can book with us in Hobart.
