Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Tasmania

Tasmania — a region worth exploring

Tasmania's Overland Track stretches 65 kilometres through the heart of Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair National Park, drawing hikers and nature lovers from every corner of the globe. Yet the island state has far more to offer beyond its famous trails. From the colourful sandstone cliffs of Maria Island to the crystal-clear waters of Wineglass Bay in Freycinet National Park, Tasmania packs extraordinary variety into a compact area — Hobart to Launceston is just 200 kilometres, while the drive from Hobart to Strahan on the wild west coast covers roughly 300 kilometres. The Tasman Peninsula delivers dramatic sea cliffs and the historic Port Arthur convict site, and the Huon Valley south of Hobart is a haven for food and cider lovers. Compact roads wind through ancient rainforest, past highland lakes, and along quiet coastal stretches, making Tasmania ideal for exploring at your own pace in a campervan or motorhome. Smaller vehicles handle the winding mountain passes with ease, while larger motorhomes suit the well-maintained highways linking major towns. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan directly from local owners across Tasmania, choosing from a range of vehicles that match your travel style and group size. It is a peer-to-peer approach that keeps things personal, flexible, and rooted in the local community.

Best time to visit

Tasmania's peak touring season runs from December to February, when long daylight hours and warm temperatures make coastal camping a joy. The annual Dark Mofo festival in Hobart each June draws visitors for its bold winter arts programme, while the Festivale in Launceston every February celebrates local food and wine. Autumn, from March to May, brings golden foliage to places like Mount Field National Park and quieter roads across the island. Hiring a campervan through Yescapa's peer-to-peer platform outside peak months often means more competitive pricing and greater vehicle choice. Book a few weeks ahead for summer trips to secure your preferred pick-up location.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Tasmania

Tasmania has no toll roads, so you can travel the entire island without paying any road fees. The speed limit on open highways is generally 110 km/h for cars, though drivers of larger motorhomes should check individual vehicle guidelines as some are limited to 100 km/h. Major routes like the Midland Highway (National Highway 1) between Hobart and Launceston are well sealed and suitable for all vehicle sizes. Secondary roads, particularly on the west coast and through national parks, can be narrower and winding — take your time and use designated rest areas for breaks.

The experience was great. The camper is really nice and well maintained. The support and advices from owners were very helpful and very much appreciated. Totally recommend this camper. If we come to Porto ever again, we would rent the same car.

Cauana and Nina are truly amazing. Communication with them was super smooth from the very beginning, and they have such a lovely, positive vibe. They were really respectful, easygoing, and took such great care of the van. It honestly makes me really happy to know it was in such good hands. I’d be more than happy to have them rent the van again anytime, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone! ❤️

We had a super good experience with Andreia and the Van. Had no problems with the van its very big with a nice bathroom, has everything you need for camping. The check-in and check-out went without any problems and clear instructions. They also answered super fast if you had any questions during the rental. I really recommend renting this van.
