What to know before you book a ute hire
Whether you’re hiring a ute for the first time or are a seasoned pro, there are a few things to consider to ensure a smooth experience. Here are some handy tips to make your next ute rental stress-free:
Bring the essentials
You’ll need a valid driver’s license and debit/credit card in the renter’s name to book your ute hire. All rentals require a debit/credit card for pre-authorisation at pick-up. Any additional drivers? Ensure they also bring their valid driver’s license so you can easily share driving duties!
Age requirements
If you’re 21 or older and a provisional driver, you’re good to go when hiring a ute from Redspot! For drivers over 75, a medical certificate is needed to ensure you’re safe behind the wheel.
Consider your load size
Utes come with various tray sizes. Be sure to assess how much space you’ll need. Whether you’re moving furniture or carrying heavy equipment, check that your ute can handle the weight and dimensions of your cargo.
Rental costs
Calculate costs based on how long you’ll need the ute and factor in additional services like one-way rentals, which may involve extra fees. Save on big trips by renting a ute big enough to carry everything in one go!
Local vs. long-distance
Make sure your ute hire covers the distance for long-distance or interstate hauls. With unlimited kilometres from Redspot, you can gear up for a longer road trip with confidence!
Cargo spaces
Utes have open trays which are perfect for carrying large, awkwardly shaped items. However, open spaces offer less protection from the elements, so plan accordingly if transporting delicate goods.
Accessories
To make your move even easier, ask about Redspot’s range of moving accessories, such as ropes and tarps. Keeping your load secure means less stress and a safer trip.
Finally, remember that utes drive differently from regular cars! Watch out for height restrictions and windy areas where the open tray might affect your load.

Moving Truck Hire FAQs
What size moving truck do I need for my move?
It depends on how much you’re moving. A small moving truck or van suits studio apartments or a few pieces of furniture, while a medium truck (around 3–4.5 tonnes) is ideal for a two- or three-bedroom home. For larger households or bulky items like appliances and outdoor gear, a larger moving truck gives you space to load everything safely in one trip. Redspot staff can help you match the right truck size to your move.
Can I drive a moving truck on a regular car licence in Australia?
Yes — most moving trucks up to 4.5 tonnes GVM can be driven with a standard Class C car licence in Australia. That means you can rent and drive a Redspot moving truck without needing a special licence. Always check your booking confirmation for vehicle size details to make sure your licence covers it.
Do Redspot moving trucks come with trolleys or moving equipment?
Many Redspot locations offer optional moving accessories like trolleys, blankets, straps, and GPS navigation to make loading and transport easier. Just ask when booking — it’s often cheaper and more convenient to include these extras in your rental than to source them separately.
Is it cheaper to rent a moving truck for a day or for the weekend?
That depends on your timing and distance. Weekday rentals are often more affordable and flexible, while weekend rates can be higher due to demand. If you only need the truck for a few hours, a one-day hire is usually the most cost-effective. But if you’re moving interstate or over long distances, multi-day packages often work out cheaper per kilometre.
