Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Southwest?

What happens if I need to cancel my Southwest car reservation?

What types of cars can I rent in Southwest?
Economy, premium, full-size ... The choice is all yours! However, compact models are the most popular in Southwest. If you'd like something small and cost-effective, but not too small, this category of rental car is a smart choice. Navigating busy streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact cars are slightly more spacious than economy rides and are suited to solo travellers, couples and families on a budget.

After you've checked out all of the great attractions in Southwest, there's plenty more to discover in the region. Pick up the keys to a rental car, stow your luggage in the trunk and get on the road. Here are some road trips we think you'll love:

  • Hobart is approximately 97 kilometres from Southwest. Famous tourist spots like Cascade Brewery deserve to be high on your must-see list while you're in town.
  • Around 177 kilometres away, Launceston is also a hit with wanderers. Allow time to experience Cataract Gorge while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love this colourful city.
  • Head to Bay of Fires to reconnect with nature. Take a picnic to enjoy or just relax in the fresh air. From Southwest, it's around 257 kilometres away.
