This winter, we’re moving cars north — and you’re invited along for the ride.
As travel demand heats up across Queensland and Northern Australia, we need to relocate vehicles from southern cities to the sunshine states. Instead of paying transport companies to move them, we’re offering you the chance to take the wheel — with no relocation fees and discounted one-way rental rates on selected routes.
It’s simple: pick your route, hit the road, and drop the car off at your destination. You’ll save money, enjoy an epic road trip, and help us get our fleet where it needs to be.
Limited vehicles. Limited time. Big savings.

Why This Deal Exists (And Why It’s So Good)
Most car rental deals are built around demand. This one’s built around logistics — which is exactly why it works in your favour.
During winter, more travellers head north chasing warmer weather. That means we need more vehicles available in places like Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Cairns, and beyond. To make that happen, we relocate cars from southern locations like Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide.
Normally, that relocation comes at a cost.
Right now, we’re flipping that model.
Instead of paying to move cars, we’re offering:
- $0 relocation fees on selected routes
- Discounted daily rental rates
- Flexible one-way travel options
You get a cheaper road trip. We get our cars where they need to be. Everyone wins.

Plus with Redspot’s easy Sydney pickups and simple returns in Melbourne? You can spend less time on paperwork, and more time enjoying the open road. Now that’s how we roll!
Adelaide to Darwin
Our team reckons this is one of the best ‘bucket list’ drives in Australia. Grab a photo at Coober Pedy, stop by the NT pubs along the Stuart Highway, and make sure you don’t miss an outback sunset somewhere north of Alice Springs.
This trip is all about the changing scenery. One minute you’re driving through South Australian wine regions, the next you’re surrounded by endless red dirt and giant road trains. It’s the kind of drive where the journey becomes just as memorable as the destination.
Tasmania to Sydney
This trip gives you the best of both worlds — Tassie wilderness and Australia’s east coast. There’s plenty of scenic detours, coastal lookouts, and little towns worth pulling into along the way.
Once you head north through NSW, the drive becomes all about beachside stops and relaxed coastal vibes. It’s the sort of relocation where you’ll probably end up adding a few extra destinations to the itinerary.
Brisbane to Cairns
Queensland was made for road trips. Take your time heading north, stop at the beaches and island towns along the way, and definitely don’t skip Airlie Beach or the Whitsundays.
This route is all about relaxed coastal driving and warm tropical weather. There are plenty of scenic places to pull over, stretch your legs, and turn the trip into a proper Queensland holiday experience.
Sydney to Darwin
Not every relocation turns into an outback adventure, but this one definitely does. You’ll go from city skylines to wide-open desert roads before finishing up in tropical Darwin.
This route gives you a real taste of Australia’s scale and diversity. One day you’re driving through country towns, the next you’re watching the sun set over the outback with barely another car in sight.
Sydney to Brisbane
This is classic Australian road tripping. Think beachside bakeries, ocean lookouts, and a playlist going while you cruise the Pacific Highway north.
Our staff always suggest making time for a few coastal detours along the way. There are countless beaches, cafes, and scenic stops that can easily turn a simple relocation into a mini holiday.
Melbourne to Brisbane
Our staff always recommend taking your time on this one. The east coast is packed with beach towns, great coffee stops, and plenty of places where you’ll probably end up staying longer than planned.
Whether you head inland or stick close to the coast, there’s no shortage of scenery on this route. Byron Bay, Coffs Harbour, and the Gold Coast are just a few of the iconic stops waiting along the way.
