Cheap Routes Car Hire in Launceston

Being aware of gas stations ensures you won't run low during your travels.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Renting away from bustling areas can lower costs and ease parking difficulties.

When hiring a car in Launceston, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Routes. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.

Familiarize yourself with local habits to enhance your safety and compliance on the road.
