As partner of the Hobart Hurricanes, Budget Car & Truck Rental will enjoy branding rights across various official team assets, including on the sleeve of the Hurricanes’ playing shirts of their men’s and Women’s BBL teams, while also featuring on their training and off-field apparel. Budget Car & Truck Rental will also have branding exposure at the Hurricanes’ home ground, Ninja Stadium, during their BBL and WBBL home games.

Additionally, the two parties will collaborate on fan engagement activities with the aim of growing cricket across Tasmania. 

Alison Turner, General Manager of Partnerships and Infrastructure, Hobart Hurricanes, commented:

“We’re thrilled to welcome Budget Car & Truck Rental as the Official Vehicle Rental Services Partner of the Hobart Hurricanes and Cricket Tasmania. Budget is a trusted and recognisable brand with a strong commitment to supporting local communities, making them a natural fit for our organisation.

We’re excited about the opportunities this partnership presents and look forward to working together to deliver value for our fans, members and the wider Tasmanian community.”

Anthony Alvernes, Head of Marketing, APAC, Budget Car & Truck Rental, said:

“At Budget Car & Truck Rental, we’re passionate about supporting the communities where our customers live, work and travel, and the Hobart Hurricanes are at the heart of Tasmanian sport.

It’s about bringing people together, creating opportunities for communities to connect and investing in experiences that create lasting memories for families and fans. We’re excited to work alongside the Hurricanes to help strengthen those connections both on and off the field.”
