Back in 2004 Redspot Car Rentals introduced its all inclusive Top Dog rate, which has been highly regarded by the public for its transparency and no hidden extras message. Redspot Car Rentals introduced this because it was observing an increasing trend in customers sick and tired of booking a hire car and turning up and being asked to pay numerous other mandatory and optional fees that weren’t explained to them at the time of the booking.
So what is the price difference?
As mentioned above, Redspot Car Rentals prices all its inclusions into a one single daily rate, whereby our competitors charge these separately. Either way, it’s interesting to see the large price difference:
