Ever wondered how your personality affects the way you drive? In Chinese astrology, each zodiac sign is linked with traits that influence behaviour — and that includes how you might act behind the wheel.
At Redspot Car Rentals, we’ve seen every type of driver on the road, from cautious cruisers to speedy overtakers. Whether you’re booking a hire car for a road trip, airport pickup, or business journey, chances are your zodiac sign might reveal a little about your driving style.
Here’s a light-hearted look at what your Chinese zodiac says about you when you get behind the wheel.
The Rat
Creative, resourceful, energetic.
Rats are always on the move — which often means fast driving and quick lane changes. If you’re a Rat, your passengers might find themselves gripping the seatbelt as you zip towards your next adventure.
🚗 Car hire match: Compact city cars for nimble manoeuvring.
The Ox
Patient, dependable, kind.
Ox drivers are courteous on the road — the type to let others merge, wave thanks, and follow the rules without fuss. Calm and steady, they make road trips a pleasure.
🚗 Car hire match: Family sedans or SUVs for smooth, safe journeys.
The Tiger
Brave, confident, outspoken.
Tigers are assertive drivers, always in a hurry and not afraid to use the horn. Their bold style gets them where they need to go — though sometimes with a little drama.
🚗 Car hire match: Sporty hatchbacks that match their energy.
The Rabbit
Cautious, gentle, thoughtful.
Rabbits take their time, always keeping to (or just under) the speed limit. They grip the steering wheel firmly and approach junctions slowly, making safety their number one priority.
🚗 Car hire match: Economy cars for relaxed city cruising.
The Dragon
Powerful, meticulous, stylish.
Dragons take pride in their cars. Expect spotless interiors, neatly organised gloveboxes, and even a pleasant air freshener. Their vehicles often look like they just rolled off the lot.
🚗 Car hire match: Premium rentals or prestige vehicles.
The Snake
Clever, multitasking, intense.
Snakes are sharp and efficient, but they can’t resist multitasking. They’re the ones sipping coffee or adjusting playlists while driving. Great thinkers, but better off focusing on the road.
🚗 Car hire match: Mid-size cars with good tech and hands-free features.
The Horse
Charismatic, fun-loving, adventurous.
Horses make the road their stage, singing loudly and enjoying the ride. They don’t worry what others think — it’s all about fun, freedom, and the journey.
🚗 Car hire match: Road trip-ready 4WDs.
The Goat
Kind, reliable, protective.
Goats are the model road citizens: signalling properly, never tailgating, and always cautious at intersections. They’re the ones who make driving with others stress-free.
🚗 Car hire match: Safe, fuel-efficient sedans or hybrids.
The Monkey
Inventive, playful, quirky.
Monkeys love accessories — steering wheel covers, rooftop decorations, or quirky bumper stickers. They see driving as an expression of personality and creativity.
🚗 Car hire match: Compact or economy cars they can personalise.
The Rooster
Busy, bold, attention-seeking.
Roosters love their tunes — and they want everyone else to hear them too. They’re the drivers with music blasting at ground-shaking levels.
🚗 Car hire match: Cars with strong sound systems.
The Dog
Loyal, careful, protective.
Dogs are all about safety. Before driving off, they check mirrors, adjust seats, buckle everyone in, and plan the route. Once on the road, nothing distracts them.
🚗 Car hire match: Family-friendly SUVs and people movers.
The Pig
Independent, carefree, practical.
Pigs are relaxed about their cars — sometimes too relaxed. Expect a back seat filled with snacks, chargers, and maybe a few books. Still, they’re great company on long drives.
🚗 Car hire match: Spacious hatchbacks or wagons.
