Hi Guys organising my trip to tas in january and was interested to know if anyone knows if there is a cheaper way to get the car over then the spirit? there is 2 adaults and 2 infints(under 3) not worried about bein without a car for a day or so as we are there for 2 weeks and have family there that can pick us up or what ever.

thanks in advance

I remember looking into this the first time we went to Tassie, unfortunately I couldn't find any other realistic alternative. It would be interested if anyone knew of an alternative. We had hoped to go to Tassie as Christmas this year but have changed our plans due to the cost of the ferry!

TOLL Shipping would be the only other option but the vehicle and camper would be going as freight and would be arriving at Burnie. Never priced it but is your only other option compared to The Spirit. Air freight would be just to expensive.

Yeh that would be the only option I found VK, I don't recall the company but I do recall the car would go to Burnie. Once you add in the costs of gettting from the Toll depot to either the spirit or the airport, then pay for your voyage or airfares, then you have to get to Burnie. From what I remember it was something like 4-5 days they needed the vehicle for each way, so that's all time you are stranded or relying on others for transport.

Burnie isn't exactly the jewel in Tassie's crown either, not high on your list of places to stay for a few days waiting for your car to arrive!

Cheers Andrew
