1. Avoid peak season and watch for specials
Accommodation and Spirit of Tasmania fares fluctuate with demand, so if you want to keep costs down avoid summer and school holidays. Watch for special rates too. Our newsletter, and those from accommodation booking websites, will put great deals straight into your inbox.
Ever thought about visiting Tassie in winter? We have put together a few reasons why you should totally consider it here.
2. Bring everything you need on Spirit
Travelling with your own vehicle means no rental fees mounting day by day. Packing it with everything from golf clubs to camping gear, and even adding a caravan, could also save hundreds on equipment hire and thousands on accommodation.
There’s no skimping on luggage for Spirit of Tasmania’s walk-on passengers either – feel free to bring two well-stuffed bags.
3. Book budget accommodation
As well as watching out for accommodation deals, remember that budget hotels and hostels are always affordable, and rates in regional areas are often cheaper than cities.
Of course having your own tent, caravan or campervan will save heaps, especially if you check out our post about these fab free Tasmanian campsites.
4. Check your eligibility for discounts
Great rates are often available for groups, students, pensioners and holders of seniors and companion cards. State-based auto clubs such as RACV offer discounts on selected Tasmanian tours and attractions.
Hotel chains’ rewards programs, perks from your home or vehicle insurer, and membership benefits for organisations like the National Trust might also deliver nice surprises. Some credit card policies include complimentary travel insurance, so check before buying more.
