The short answer
Of the 5 operators on our Hobart list, 2 say on their own website that they offer long term hire. None of them publishes a weekly rate we could confirm, so the price is by quote. Minimum term, where stated: Astra Car Rentals (7 days). Astra Car Rentals is the only one that states a bond: $1,000.
Long term car rental means hiring a car for weeks or months, usually at a weekly rate, instead of by the day. This page covers the independent operators in our Hobart comparison: who says they offer it and what they publish.
Everything below was read from each operator’s own website on 3 Nov 2026, and each row links to the page it came from. A rate appears only if we opened the page a second time and it still said the same thing.
Who offers long term hire in Hobart
| Operator | Rate | Minimum term | Bond | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Astra Car Rentals | No weekly rate published | 7 days | Pre-authorisation of up to $1,000 on a debit or credit card | astracarrentals.com.au, read 3 Nov 2026 |
| Hobart Car Hire | No weekly rate published | Not published | Not published | hobartcarhires.com.au, read 3 Nov 2026 |
“Not published” means the operator’s site does not say, so ask them. Each rate is a starting price: the kilometre allowance, the excess and what the week includes change the total.
2 of the 5 operators on our Hobart list are in the table. We read the sites of 2 more, and they do not say they offer long term hire. One has no website we could read. Being on this page does not change an operator’s place in the ranking.
Before you sign
Of the 2 Hobart operators in the table whose terms we could read, 1 does not state a bond and 1 does not state a minimum term for long term hire, so ask for both in writing. Also ask for the kilometre allowance, the insurance excess and whether rideshare or delivery work is allowed. Our guide to long term car rental in Australia has the full checklist, with the rates operators publish in other cities.

Frequently asked questions
- How much does long term car rental cost in Hobart?
- No operator on our Hobart list publishes a weekly rate we could confirm. Ask for a written quote that includes kilometres, bond and excess.
- Why do some operators show no rate?
- Either their site does not publish one, or we could not open the page a second time to confirm it. We only show a rate we read twice on the operator’s own site, and an operator that does not publish a rate is not saying it has none.
- Does appearing on this page change an operator’s place in the ranking?
- No. The Hobart ranking orders operators by Google rating weighted by review count. Whether an operator publishes a long term rate has no effect on it.
