Terminology Key.
Let us break down our package terms so you know exactly what may appear on your invoice:
*Damage liability excess: ‘Amount reduced by’ is dependent on the vehicle type and hire itinerary selected. See our Car Rental Cover page for more information.
**Contract fee: We have a small surcharge to cover our costs to draw up our rental agreement with you.
***Premium location fee: Sometimes a premium airport or downtown location will charge us an additional surcharge for each rental and we are upfront about this cost in your package! The price will depend on the location selected.
****Registration recovery fee: We pay a surcharge to cover our vehicle registration and compulsory third-party insurance costs and we highlight this clearly in your package breakdown.
At Redspot, we believe in straight-up honesty! Just so you’re in the loop, all the nitty-gritty on damage liability and extra charges can be found in our terms and conditions.

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:
Do rental cars track your speed?
No, Redspot rental cars do not track your speed or monitor general activity in our cars to respect your privacy. That said, take it easy on the pedal!
If you get a speeding ticket or a fine in one of our vehicles, we won’t be able to pay the fee ourselves. In this case, we will email the bill to you and charge a $55 admin fee. Ultimately, it’s easier to drive within the speed limit and adhere to local road rules to make your journey as hassle-free as possible.
What are the rules for renting a car in Australia?
Whether you’re gearing up for adventure in Perth or beyond, Aussie car rental comes with a few requirements before you get driving. To rent a car in Australia, you must:
- Be over 21 years old
- Present a valid credit/debit card OR purchase order OR prepaid voucher in the renter’s name
- Present a valid, physical driver’s licence in the renter’s name. Note: Digital licences, photos or copies are not accepted
- Present valid driver’s licence/s for any additional drivers, who must be present at the time of vehicle pick-up
Coming from overseas? International visitors must also present a physical passport and a valid, full driver’s licence at vehicle pick-up. Make sure to bring an official translation of your driving licence if it is not in English! You may request translation documents from your country’s embassy or local traffic authority.
How close to full does rental car need to be?
For rental car pick-up, your vehicle comes with a full tank of fuel so you can get rolling ASAP! For returns, you have a few refuelling choices on hand. Fuel options include:
- Prepay for a full tank at a discounted rate at the start of your rental period. This will save you the hassle of filling it up later, just note that there’s no refund for unused fuel.
- Only get charged for the fuel you use. This is available at a higher rate than prepayment.
Refuel your rental vehicle before returning it. Please fill the vehicle right before returning to avoid extra charges.
Is it easy to drive in Perth?
Driving in Perth is safe and easy to navigate, with wide roads, little traffic and generally high visibility. As in other Australian cities, you must follow the local road rules. However, Perth’s driveability makes road adventures a popular pastime for locals and visitors alike!
