cost to take car to tasmania

Short version: you’ll be booking the Spirit of Tasmania from Geelong to Devonport, and a car plus driver typically lands between about $300–$600 one‑way off‑peak or $700–$1,200 in peak periods, depending on accommodation.

The vehicle fare is separate to the passenger fare: cars usually sit around $120–$300, a recliner seat about $80–$130, and a cabin anywhere from $180–$450+—stack on more for extra passengers.

Oversize height/length, roof boxes, trailers and caravans cop surcharges, and school holidays make prices spike faster than a radar gun on the Hume. Crossing time is roughly 9–11 hours, so book early for better times and prices, and double‑check current fares before you roll up to the terminal.
