Meet Alex: A Frequent Traveller’s Story
Based in Melbourne, Alex Tan is a marketing consultant who frequently travels to Sydney and Hobart for work and leisure. He rents cars up to twice a month, often turning business trips into mini getaways.
“I love exploring local spots that aren’t on the typical tourist map. Having a hire car gives me the freedom to make the most of every trip, whether I’ve got two days or two weeks,” says Alex.
Why YesDrive is His Trusted Car Hire Choice
Alex has tried several car hire companies over the years—but says none have matched YesDrive in terms of convenience, value, and customer service.
“The first time I used YesDrive was for a weekend in Hobart. I booked last-minute, and they still managed to sort me out with a clean, reliable car and zero fuss. Since then, they’ve been my go-to,” he explains.
Here’s what keeps him coming back:
Easy Booking Process
“I can book online in minutes, and the process is super clear—no hidden fees, no long wait times.”
YesDrive’s streamlined booking platform lets customers reserve a vehicle with just a few clicks, whether they’re flying into Hobart or heading off from Sydney.
Affordable Rates with No Hidden Costs
“YesDrive doesn’t nickel-and-dime you. Their prices are competitive, and what you see is what you get. That kind of transparency is rare these days.”
Flexible Pick-Up & Drop-Off
Alex appreciates the convenient pick-up locations in both Sydney and Hobart, often choosing to pick up directly at the airport or in the city centre depending on his itinerary.
“If I’m in Hobart, I like to hit the road right away—so picking up from the airport is a huge plus. In Sydney, I usually grab the car from the CBD location and go from there.”
Excellent Customer Support
“The staff are friendly and responsive. If I have questions or need to adjust my booking, they’re just a quick call away.”
Travel Tips from a Road Trip Pro
As someone who’s driven all across Tasmania and New South Wales, Alex has picked up a few handy tips for fellow travellers:
1. Don’t Overpack
“Keep your luggage light, especially if you’re renting a smaller car. You’ll appreciate the extra space for snacks, souvenirs, or spontaneous stops.”
2. Bring Your Own Charging Cable
“Most YesDrive cars have USB ports, but having your own charging cable ensures you’re never left without GPS—or music!”
3. Plan Loosely
“Leave room in your itinerary for unexpected detours. I’ve found some of my favourite beaches and bakeries just by taking a random turn.”
Alex’s Favourite Drives Around Sydney and Hobart
Southern Tasmania Coastal Loop
“From Hobart, take a drive through Kingston, down to Cygnet and Huonville. The views are amazing, and you’ll find some incredible local produce and hidden wineries.”
Alex recommends this loop for travellers who want a taste of Tasmania’s natural beauty without venturing too far from Hobart.
Royal National Park (Sydney)
“It’s less than an hour south of the city, but feels like another world. Waterfalls, ocean cliffs, and scenic picnic spots—it’s a must-drive.”
He suggests grabbing a YesDrive rental from Sydney and heading off early to beat the crowds and catch sunrise over the coast.
Richmond to Freycinet (Tasmania)
“This one’s for when you have a couple of days. Start in Richmond, drive up the east coast, and spend the night near Wineglass Bay. It’s the kind of road trip that stays with you.”
