What to know before you hire a van in Perth
Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned pro, there are plenty of things to consider when hiring a van in Perth. Here are some handy rental tips to get your stuff where you need it:
Driver’s licence
Bring a valid driving licence and a credit card to book your rental van. At Redspot, we require a credit card at pick-up for a pre-authorisation. If you’re planning on additional drivers, please bring their valid driver’s licences along too. Then you can share driving duties with no sweat.
Check the fuel policy
Understand the moving van fuel policy before you pick it up. With Redspot, we have you covered with pre-pay and refuelling services, or you can fill up the tank yourself.
Van inspection
Before you take off, you should inspect the van for any existing damage and report it to avoid any potential charges and keep your hiring costs down.
Plan your route
Vans are larger, slower and harder to stop. Check your route ahead of time and avoid any tight spots or low clearance zones on your path.
Driving adjustments
Most vans handle differently than cars, so take your time getting used to braking, turning and parking for a safer, smoother journey.
Moving accessories
Hire or purchase moving accessories or specialised storage options to make moving as stress-free as possible! This is especially helpful for transporting fragile items and appliances, like glassware and fridges.
Prep your council parking permits
Some areas might need a parking permit for your van. Check your local government area and local council to see if you need permits, and sort this out in advance. This will make sure your move stays as hassle-free as possible.

Van hire in Perth FAQs
How much to hire a van in Perth?
The cost of hiring a van in Perth can vary depending on your vehicle model, rental period duration, and mileage. Just enter your details into Redspot’s handy booking tool to get a cost estimate for your trip.
Is it easy to drive in Perth?
Yes driving in Perth is relatively easy thanks to well maintained roads, lighter traffic compared to other major cities and many scenic routes. However, peak hours still have high congestion, especially during mornings and evening commutes.
How do I drive a moving van?
First time behind the wheel of a moving van? No dramas! We’ve got a few handy tips to help you hit the road with confidence and keep things running smoothly.
- Leave space: Take it easy and stay alert around other vehicles. Moving vans are a fair bit bigger than your average car, so you’ll need to leave extra space, especially when turning corners. Go wide and slow so you don’t clip anything, and make sure your cargo stays safe along the way.
- Secure your load: Before you set off, double-check that everything in the back is tied down properly. Loose items can slide around while you’re driving, which can throw the van off balance, especially when braking or taking turns.
- Use your indicators early: You’re in a bigger rig now, so it’s even more important to let others know what you’re up to. Flick your blinker on nice and early when turning or changing lanes, so other drivers have time to adjust.
- Keep the size and weight in mind: Moving vans are heavier and take longer to stop, so go easy on the pedal and allow extra braking distance. If you’re on a hill, use the handbrake when stopping to keep things steady and safe.
Take regular breaks: Driving a larger vehicle can be more tiring than you might think. Pull over now and then to stretch your legs and recharge. And if the weather ever turns dodgy, don’t risk it. Find a safe spot and wait it out.
Can you hire a van to go one way?
With Redspot, yes, you can! Our flexible one-way packages let you pick up in one location and drop it off in another, letting you save time, fuel and money on the return trip.
Please keep in mind that one-way rentals usually come with a drop fee (aka one-way fees) to cover the cost of moving the vehicles back to their original branch. This fee amount will be shown to you during the online booking process, so you know what you are paying for from day 1 and can easily compare prices.
Are there places I can’t drive in Perth?
While driving a van in Perth, try to avoid narrow roads or tunnels with height restrictions. Check if your rental van exceeds the typical restriction of 4.9 metres before taking the Northbridge tunnel.
How do I keep my items from moving around?
We recommend hiring our moving accessories to keep your items safely wrapped and packaged before you load them. That way, you can ensure they are protected while driving. Be sure you use any ratchet straps, cargo nets or buckle straps present in the vehicle.
When loading, pack each item tightly to minimise how much room your items have to move. Be sure to pack heavier items against the van’s walls.
Can I rent a van with a normal licence?
At Redspot, you can absolutely rent a van with a normal licence! We allow any class C licence holder to rent a truck or van with us.
What is the oldest age to drive a rental van in Australia?
At Redspot, there’s no maximum age limit! We say that age is just a number. That’s why we welcome senior drivers to rent with us and keep their adventures rolling.
Can Redspot vans move interstate?
Yes, depending on your location and plans! If you return your Redspot van to the same location you picked it up from, you’re free to roam the interstate with ease.
Interstate one-way rentals:
- You can book one-way van hire between our East Coast branches (QLD, NSW, ACT, VIC, TAS), subject to vehicle availability.
Restricted state one-way rentals:
- Due to the remoteness of certain branches (NT, SA, WA), one-way van hire is only available between Redspot branches within the state/territory from which it is rented from.
For more info, contact our friendly team on 1300 668 810 or fill out the online form to chat about your van hire options. We’re here to help you move, safe and sound.
Do Redspot moving vans have unlimited kms?
While most standard hire cars come with unlimited kms, at Redspot, we do impose a 100km p/day limit on vans, trucks and utes to help us sustain the fleet. In remote locations such as Alice Springs or Darwin, we also have a 200km p/day limit to ensure our vehicles remain well-maintained and prepared for the unique demands of the Australian outback.
For more info, please contact our friendly team at 1300 668 810 (toll-free) to find the best fit for your plans.
What are the excess km charges?
With Redspot van hires, the first 130 km you drive is free every day. Any further travel may result in excess km charges.
