Things to know about truck rental

If you’ve hired a truck in Hobart with us before, you know how easy it is. But if it’s your first time, you probably have a few questions. Here are a few tips and tricks – and more FAQs can be found further down this page. 

Unsure if you have the right licence to rent a truck? Good news! All you need is a valid standard driver licence, Australian or recognised international equivalent. While trucks are bigger and extra care needs to be taken, all of our rental vehicles are very easy to operate. 

Our team will give you a rundown on how to use the hydraulic lift if applicable, secure the rear doors, and answer any questions you may have.
