I just asked Hertz, and they said I could take the ferry, but insurance would not be effective on the island.

Sure, but the ticket is a little more expensive. If you go to Tasmania, it's recommended to fly there and rent a car.

The insurance terms do not seem to specify whether it is on land or on a ship. You are thinking too much!
