Easter in Australia is one of the most popular times to hit the road. The four-day weekend is perfect for camping trips by the beach, family barbecues in the park, or longer holidays that stretch into school break. But before you can relax at your destination, you need to get there—and that’s where car hire can make all the difference.
Whether you’re flying interstate to see family or planning a coastal road trip, hiring a car this Easter is a smart way to make your holiday more comfortable, flexible, and stress-free.
Flying to Another State? Hire with Ease
If your Easter holiday plans start with a flight, hiring a car when you land is the simplest way to keep moving. With Redspot locations inside all major Australian airports, you can step off the plane, pick up your keys, and be on the road in minutes.
Why hire at the airport?
-
Convenience: No waiting around for shuttles or transfers.
-
Space for luggage: Perfect if you’re camping or travelling with sports gear.
-
Family-friendly: Keep the kids comfortable with enough seats and boot space.
-
Flexibility: Go where you want, when you want—without relying on timetables.
If you’re staying in regional areas, hiring a car is even more valuable. Public transport options can be limited outside the city, but with your own vehicle you’ll have the freedom to explore hidden beaches, national parks, and country towns at your own pace.
Planning a Road Trip This Easter?
There’s something special about an Easter road trip. The weather’s still warm, the autumn leaves start to show, and the whole family can enjoy the journey together.
But long drives in the family car can be tiring—especially if it’s smaller, older, or not suited to holiday loads. That’s why many travellers leave their everyday car at home and choose a rental instead.
The benefits of a rental car for Easter road trips:
-
Comfort: Modern vehicles with air conditioning, Bluetooth, and plenty of legroom.
-
Affordability: No wear and tear on your own car, and with unlimited kilometres on many rentals, you can drive as far as you like.
-
Safety: Late-model cars with the latest safety features give peace of mind on busy holiday roads.
-
Storage: More boot space for camping gear, eskies, and Easter eggs!
A road trip is about making memories—not worrying whether the family sedan can handle the drive.
Which Vehicle is Right for Your Easter Break?
Redspot has a wide range of vehicles to suit any Easter holiday style. Here are a few ideas:
-
Small families or couples: The economy class hatchback is fuel-efficient and perfect for zipping around coastal towns or city breaks.
-
Families with kids: A compact sedan or mid-sized SUV gives you more space for luggage, prams, or beach gear.
-
Bigger groups: Travelling with friends or extended family? Our 8-seater minivans are ideal for group trips, keeping everyone together in one vehicle.
-
Adventure seekers: Heading to the coast or country? Consider an SUV with plenty of space and versatility for outdoor activities.
No matter your choice, you’ll enjoy modern, reliable cars with transparent pricing—so you can focus on your holiday, not hidden costs.
