Hire car in Tasmania - an alternative

[RooFlyer]

Rental car companies sold off abt half their fleet in Tasmania in 2020, so rentals are hard to get and expensive (in common with other places).

Anyone after a hire car might like to check out 'car hire share' - where people hire out their own car. Like Car Next Door. or Evee.

Now, the Tasmanian government is offering people $1000 to join one of those schemes. ABC story, which also canvasses the risks in going this route (as hirer)

Would you rent your personal car to a tourist? What if there was a $1,000 incentive?

Hire car companies offloaded their fleets when the pandemic hit last year, leaving frustrated tourists without wheels. To tackle the problem, the Tasmanian government will offer private car owners a $1,000 incentive to rent their vehicles to visitors.

No thanks as too many uncertainties as mentioned in article....if I come to Tas will book a car way in advance; if none available at a reasonable price, will holiday elsewhere (have been to just about every corner of Tas on multiple past trips so only will be revisiting places).
