Route info

What to know about the Hobart Airport → Launceston route

Tolls, traffic windows and drop-off logistics that apply to this specific route.

Midlands Highway (A1)—Toll-Free Route

The entire 190 km journey uses the Midlands Highway, a toll-free two-lane route through rural Tasmania. No electronic road charges, congestion fees or low-emission zone tolls apply. Speed limit is 110 km/h on open sections; school zones reduce this to 40–60 km/h.

Peak Traffic Windows & Delays

Morning peak (7:00–9:00 AM) and afternoon school zone times can add 10–15 minutes to journey duration. Roadworks occasionally occur on the Midlands Highway; your driver navigates these in real time. Winter weather may slow progress slightly but rarely causes major disruption.

Launceston Airport Drop-off Practicalities

Kerbside drop-off at the terminal is strictly 2-minute unattended; your driver will assist with luggage. Free 30-minute short-stay parking available (once per 24 hours). Airport is 15 km south of Launceston city on Evandale Main Road.

Transfer from Hobart Airport to Launceston

Your journey follows the Midlands Highway north from Hobart Airport through the heart of Tasmania's rural landscape. You'll pass through Richmond and Campania before joining the main route at Jericho, then travel through a succession of beautifully preserved colonial towns—Ross, Oatlands, Campbell Town and Evandale—each with distinctive sandstone architecture and historic landmarks dating back to the 1800s. The highway is predominantly two lanes with clear overtaking sections, and the scenery transitions from suburban fringe to open farmland and gentle hills.

Your driver will meet you at the arrivals baggage-hall exit of the terminal holding a name sign; the typical 2-hour drive can extend slightly during peak morning hours or if school zones create temporary slowdowns. Launceston Airport sits 15 km south of the city centre on Evandale Main Road, and kerbside drop-off is available at the terminal with a strict 2-minute unattended vehicle rule—your driver will assist with luggage and depart promptly. Allow a few minutes extra if you need to use airport facilities before onward travel into the city.

Taxis from Hobart Airport charge on meter and typically cost considerably more than a pre-booked transfer, with no price certainty until journey's end. Public buses run only four times daily (earliest 6:00 AM, latest 5:30 PM departure) and take 2 hours 40 minutes to reach Launceston Transit Centre, requiring you to manage luggage in a crowded coach environment. A private transfer eliminates waiting, baggage handling stress and the rigid timetable constraints—your vehicle is yours alone, and all road charges are included in your fixed price.
