If you’re ready to build a sustainable business with a proven national brand, a Redspot Car Rentals franchise gives you the keys. We operate at the top end of Australia’s vehicle hire market — on-airport locations, new and well-maintained fleets, transparent pricing, and customer-first service — and we’re expanding with like-minded local operators.
Whether you’re an experienced rental operator, a transport or tourism business looking to diversify, or an entrepreneur with strong local knowledge, this is your chance to own a premium car rental business with the backing of a national network.

What You Get As a Redspot Franchisee
1) Demand you can count on
Airport traffic, corporate contracts, leisure campaigns, and partner channels funnel rental demand to your counter and website booking path.
2) Playbooks that work
Standard operating procedures for front-of-house, fleet maintenance, damage management, and regulatory compliance take the guesswork out of day-to-day operations.
3) Commercial leverage
Preferred pricing on fleet, accessories, insurance, supplies, and professional services where available — helping improve unit economics from day one.
4) Local marketing + national brand
Launch kits, co-op campaigns, SEO/SEM support for your location pages, always-on brand activity, and seasonal road-trip promotions that convert.
5) Training & people
Role-based onboarding for managers and agents, sales and service coaching, and ongoing performance support tied to NPS and utilisation targets.

FAQs
Do I need prior car rental experience?
Helpful, not mandatory. We’ve successfully onboarded partners from automotive, travel, logistics, and hospitality backgrounds.
Can I operate on-airport?
Yes — where terminal or airport-precinct space is available and approved. We’ll guide you through tender/lease processes and compliance.
How big should my initial fleet be?
It depends on location and demand profile. We’ll model an initial mix (e.g., economy, compact SUV, full-size, people mover, utility/mining spec if relevant) with a ramp plan.
What about technology and payments?
You’ll use Redspot’s reservation, pricing, and fleet systems, plus integrated payments and damage workflows — with training included.
How long before breakeven?
Varies by site and seasonality. We’ll share benchmarks and a realistic ramp plan during discovery.
