Return Made Simple
Dear Explorer,
We know…
To plan a trip around Tasmania is not an easy thing to do.
Expensive options and rigid itineraries that leave you more stressed than inspired.
Picture this instead:
Just you, the open road, and a camping car that’s got your back.
Sleep where you want, from epic mountain tops to secret beaches.
Hotels tie you down. Caravans and motorhomes are pricey and a nightmare to park.
We make it easy.
Your wheels, your bed, your kitchen, all rolled into one.
Freedom on your terms, and yep… at a way better price.
No need to plan every stop.
You’re free to explore Tasmania your way, with everything you need at your fingertips…
Starry skies above, waves crashing while you cook dinner, chasing sunrises without even leaving “home.”
This isn’t just a road trip—it’s FREEDOM.
Ready to escape the ordinary?
Hit the button below and let the adventure begin.
All our vehicles run on Unleaded 95 or 98. Please return the car with a full tank to avoid extra charges.
Not perfectly spotless, just no major mud or sand. If it comes back super dirty, we’ll charge an $80 cleaning fee (from your bond).
Want to clean it yourself? A $10 self-serve carwash does the trick, here our recommended place.
All vehicles include MAIB insurance, which covers passengers’ hospital expenses in case of an accident.
We don’t sell extra insurance, instead, we work with a bond system. You’ll leave a refundable deposit ($1000–$1500) at pick-up, which covers potential damage. If everything’s fine at drop-off, you get it all back.
We recommend having personal roadside assistance, as basic support doesn’t cover things like lost keys or flat tyres. 😊
As we are a small family business, we are more flexible in regards to this, so you can drive with a provisional license. However, you must display your P plates at all times. Please keep in mind that Explora’s insurance will not cover any damage to the car under these circumstances.
No stress! You can pay:
10% upfront by credit/debit card on our website, when your booking is done.
The rest + bond at pick-up (bank transfer or EFTPOS available)
We also offer international transfers in multiple currencies (EUR, USD, CAD NZD, SGD, etc.), or you can pay in cash.
Absolutely! You can explore the whole island.
Just note: if you’re heading to Cloudy Corner, you’ll have to drive on the beach – which, again, isn’t covered by our insurance. There are plenty of other great campgrounds that are easier to access. 🏕️
Yes! Camping gear is included with your car rental. If you’re a 4th traveller, there’s just a small extra fee of $18/day for the additional gear.
Yep! Camping gear is just $18/day per person, and you can pick it up from Howrah. Just book through the Camping Gear section on our site..
We can! There’s an extra cost of $18/day per person for groups over 3. Just keep in mind – this option is only available for our SUVs. City cars don’t have enough space to fit the extra gear comfortably.
Not really 😅 Our gear is designed for road trips, not treks. It includes full-size tents, thick sleeping mats, cooking gear and more—awesome for car camping, but way too bulky for a backpack.
Our current gear is perfect for travellers exploring Tassie by car, but it’s not ideal for long hikes or overnight treks. That said, we’re working on lighter options for hikers! If you’re planning a hike and need gear, feel free to email us at info@explora.au, we’d love to chat and see how we can help.
Generally, we don’t rent individual items on their own, but we’re flexible! If your request meets our minimum spend of $99, we’re happy to help when possible. Just shoot us a message at info@explora.au with what you’re after, and we’ll do our best to sort you out
Our pick-up point is in Howrah (postcode 7018). We’re a small family business without a physical office, so for privacy and security, we’ll send you the exact address by email a few days before your booking. 😊
No worries! We’re pretty flexible. Just shoot us a message or email and we’ll sort something out for you.
Not at the moment. But no stress! We’re just 15 minutes away from Hobart Airport by taxi or Uber, and we’re super flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. 😉
Call us straight away at +61 400 591 150. We’ll guide you through the steps and get everything sorted.
The pass gives you access to Tassie’s national parks. You’ll need to get your own, either online here or from local visitor centres. If you email it to info@explora.au, we’ll print it and pop it in your car. Easy!
