Redspot Driver Facts.
Share the ride with additional drivers:
We can easily add additional drivers to your car rental booking. The driver will need to show their full valid driver’s licence in any branch and provide a credit card for a daily surcharge. Too easy!
Rev-Up for Young Drivers:
We are one of the few car rental companies to have a minimum driver age of 21!
Note that drivers under 25 will pay a daily surcharge on their car rental fee. Car hire is limited to small to medium-sized sedans and hatchbacks.
Don’t sweat the paperwork:
If you are a first-time renter, all we need is one (1) document with your address on it. Returning customers, all you need to bring for collection is your valid driver’s licence and credit card. If it’s your first time renting locally, you’ll also need to bring a third form of identification like a current utility bill. We will take care of the rest!
Overseas visitors welcome:
Explore every Aussie hotspot with Redspot! Temporary overseas visitors can hire a car with:
- A full valid driver’s licence and passport
- Licences must have photo identification
- If the licence is not in English then you will need an official translated document from your embassy or road traffic authority in your home country
- Some countries may need to apply for an international driver’s permit
Family-friendly car hire:
Redspot is a family-run business and selects modern SUVs, sedans and people carriers for family comfort. With a range of baby, child and booster seats available to hire, the little ones don’t miss out.
Credit Card Condition:
Cover your back and ours. All rental cars require a credit card at pick-up for a pre-authorisation.
Fuel Flexibility:
Pre-pay, post-pay or refuel your rental car yourself. Redspot makes it easy to keep a full tank for an Australian adventure.
Local P-Platers and Full Licences:
Redspot Car Rentals gives P-platers the green light – one of the few Aussie companies that do! Our safety rules include:
- You must hold a Provisional P2 driver’s licence (green Ps).
- Your full driver’s licence must be valid for a minimum of 12 months from the date of rental collection.
Maximum age is no barrier:
With Redspot, age is just a number! There is no maximum age to hit the road.
Toll-road Tricks:
Buy peace of mind with a Redspot toll road waiver and say goodbye to unexpected charges.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How much does it cost to hire a mine spec ute?
Depends on your plans and other factors! Cost can change because of booking duration, chosen damage excess cover, seasonal factors, and more. That said, the average daily hire rates range from $90 to $300 for smaller vehicles like 4WD utes. For larger vehicles, this can range from $120 to $450.
Check out our handy Redspot car booking tool to see the latest hiring rates. You can choose from a wide range of well-maintained and high-quality vehicles and ride through your workday with ease!
Do you cover all the mining specifications for light vehicles?
With Redspot, all mine-specific vehicles (mine spec utes, trucks, 4WDs, 12-seater buses, etc.) cover mine compliance requirements. This includes mine spec ‘light vehicles’ i.e. with a gross vehicle mass of 4.5 tonnes or less. Smaller, basic vehicles not listed as ‘mine spec’ are not mine site compliant.
Is fuel included in car hire?
When you hire a car from Redspot Newman Airport (or any of our 40+ branches across Australia!), your car’s tank should already be full. No need to dash off to work running on fumes!
What makes a car mine spec?
A car is ‘mine spec’ when it comes equipped with heavy-duty equipment and specialised features made to handle the varying conditions and tasks of a mine site easily. A mine spec car must also meet compliance requirements and make driving safer in the rough terrain of a mine site.
- Reflective strips, LED lights, mine bar, sand flag for improved visibility
- UHF radios and satellite phones for communication
- Emergency Triangles
- Call signs
- Reversing alarm
