Why hire a campervan in Devonport with Aussie Campervans
Aussie Campervans connects travellers with hundreds of campervans and motorhomes from trusted suppliers across Devonport and every major Australian city. Instead of booking blind through an overseas platform, you get one place to compare vehicles, prices and one-way routes, backed by a Melbourne-based team who know these Tasmanian roads.
We've been arranging campervan and motorhome hire in Devonport for over 16 years, including advice on picking up straight off the Spirit of Tasmania ferry, which vehicle suits Tasmania's narrower coastal roads, and which deals genuinely save you money for your dates and group size.
Arriving in Devonport by ferry or plane
Most visitors arrive on the Spirit of Tasmania, which sails overnight from Melbourne and docks at Devonport around 6am. You can pick up your campervan or motorhome right at the ferry terminal and be on the road within the hour. Devonport Airport, serviced by daily QantasLink flights from Melbourne, is the other main gateway, both pick-up points are only minutes from the town centre and its major supermarkets, so you can stock up before setting off.
Driving a campervan around Devonport and the north-west coast
Tasmania's main routes are sealed and well maintained, though roads narrow and wind through hillier sections such as the drive to Cradle Mountain or Stanley. Wildlife is active at dawn and dusk on rural roads, so we recommend avoiding night driving where you can. A compact campervan or smaller motorhome is the easiest choice for first-time Tasmanian drivers.
Best time to hire a campervan in Devonport
December to March (Tasmanian summer) offers the mildest, driest weather and the longest days for exploring Cradle Mountain and the coast. Spring (September–November) brings the Table Cape tulip season, while autumn (March–May) is quieter with cooler evenings. Winter is cold, especially at higher elevations, but campervans with heating make it a peaceful, low-season option.
