Travelling when you’re young is one of life’s greatest joys — more freedom, fewer responsibilities, and plenty of time to explore. But if you’re under 25, you’ve probably discovered that booking a rental car isn’t always straightforward.
Many car rental companies in Australia simply won’t hire vehicles to drivers under 25, or they apply strict restrictions that make it harder (and more expensive) for younger travellers.
At Redspot Car Rentals, we do things differently. We believe age shouldn’t hold you back from exploring Australia, which is why we proudly offer car hire to drivers under 25 — including those on a provisional licence.
Renting a Car Under 25
If you’re between 21 and 24 years old, you can rent a car with Redspot. To keep things safe and fair, there are a few conditions:
-
✅ A daily surcharge applies for drivers aged 21–24.
-
✅ You can rent from a range of vehicle classes including ECMR, ECAR, CDAR and IDAR.
-
✅ You can reduce your damage cover, but only to a minimum to the Super Cover Level.
While other car rental companies might turn you away, Redspot gives you the keys to hit the road with confidence.
Renting with a Provisional Driver Licence
Redspot is also one of the only national car rental companies in Australia that welcomes drivers on a provisional licence (P-plates).
-
A daily surcharge applies for provisional licence holders.
-
Pricing details are available on our Standard Fees and Charges page.
This makes Redspot a trusted choice for younger drivers who are often excluded elsewhere.
