Consider the places you’ll be driving to when you select your car hire in Cambridge. For driving along the main, tarred roads within Cambridge and other towns and cities nearby, you could opt for a more compact car or premium sedan, as these will be better to manoeuvre into parking spaces and will also be more economical. If you are heading into the mountains or driving in winter, it would be wise to look for a slightly stronger vehicle, like an SUV, as this will give you more confidence on winding mountain roads or unsealed gravel sections in some of the less-developed areas.

The speed limit in the built-up areas of Cambridge is 50 kph unless there are signs that indicate otherwise. The maximum speed limit on highways is generally 100 kph, but in some places, this could increase to 110 kph. Sealed roads outside the town have a 100 kph limit, but if the road is unsealed, then the speed limit drops to 80 kph. When you are on the road in your car hire in Cambridge, look out for the speed limit signs and also for the speed cameras that exist on some of the main highways. Also be aware that around school areas and pedestrian crossings close to schools, the speed limits may drop to 40 kph at certain times of the day.

Parking in Cambridge is fairly straightforward, and you can park on the street or in car parks within the vicinity. The parking is easily paid for using the EasyPark app, which can be used throughout Tasmania. While you can pay for parking using meters (by cash or debit/credit card) this can sometimes be tricky.
