Hobart Airport luggage storage

About Hobart Airport

Flying is by far the quickest and easiest way to get to the island state of Tasmania from the Australian mainland, or from anywhere else for that matter. For that reason, Hobart Airport, as the biggest airport on the island, is the gateway to Tasmania for well over two million passengers every year. The majority of those passengers come from other locations in Australia, but Hobart is also an international airport, with flights to Auckland in New Zealand leaving from the international terminal. It's also a gateway for flights to Antarctica.

Hobart Airport isn't the biggest airport in the world by a long stretch, so you can't expect the same services here that you would find at Heathrow or JFK, for example. However, you can find a place to store luggage in the form of a self-service facility where you can rent a luggage locker to store your things. A medium locker costs $14 for 24 hours and measures 60cm x 43cm x 35cm, while a large locker costs two dollars more and measures 94cm x 55cm x 42cm. These lockers are located past the baggage claim area outside the terminal itself in a covered location next to the pickup and drop-off lanes.

These luggage lockers can provide convenient luggage storage at the airport, but you can find much more affordable luggage storage by booking with Bounce. Bounce provides Hobart luggage storage locations both at the airport and throughout the city, and you can use our app to find and book luggage storage online. You can store your bags for a few hours, an entire day, or even longer, and our local business partners can accept any size of bag. If the airport lockers are full, too expensive for your budget, or too small for your needs, use our service to store luggage with local shops and businesses to enjoy much better opening hours and great service when storing luggage in Hobart.

Pooseum luggage storage

One of Hobart's quirkier attractions, this museum of poo is the only one of its type in Australia, if not the entire world. As gross as it sounds, this museum explores the science of defecation in all its forms and takes short trips through the world of animals via their feces. It's a small museum that doesn't offer much in the way of left luggage facilities, so store your luggage in Hobart before you visit.

Local tips and insider info

• Hobart Airport has its own bicycle service station where you can perform maintenance and repairs on a bike just outside the terminal. The airport is close enough to the city to be reached by bike, so once you've found convenient luggage storage locations, you can consider biking to the airport.
• No reservations are required to take the SkyBus to and from Hobart itself. Buy your tickets from the driver at any of the stops.
• Exchanging currency at the airport is always a good way to get a bad deal. Instead, consider taking money straight out of your bank account at an ATM at Hobart International Airport. There are several ATMs in the terminal, but make sure you check on your bank's fees and policies so that you know what to expect.
