We’re all about you.

Touching down at Brisbane Domestic Airport? Head to Redspot’s Domestic Airport counter located on the Airport’s Ground Floor, P1 Car Park. Pick up your rental from our friendly team and hit the road – driving! With a diverse fleet from luxury SUVs to commercial vans, we’ve got your plans covered.

Redspot Driver Facts
Rev-Up for Young Drivers
We are one of the few car rental companies to have a minimum driver age of 21!
Note that drivers under 25 will pay a daily surcharge on their car rental fee. Car hire is limited to small to medium-sized sedans and hatchbacks.
Maximum age is no barrier
With Redspot, age is just a number! There is no maximum age to hit the road.
Local P-Platers and Full Licences
Redspot Car Rentals gives P-platers the green light – one of the few Aussie companies that do! Our safety rules include:
- You must have held your provisional driver’s licence for a minimum of 1 year.
- Your full driver’s licence must be valid for a minimum of 12 months from the date of rental collection.
Overseas visitors welcome
Explore every Aussie hotspot with Redspot! Temporary overseas visitors can hire a car with:
- A full valid driver’s licence and passport
- Licences must have photo identification
- If the licence is not in English then you will need an official translated document from your embassy or road traffic authority in your home country

Credit Card Condition
Cover your back and ours. All rental cars require a credit card at pick-up for a pre-authorisation.
Share the ride with additional drivers
We can easily add additional drivers to your car rental booking. The driver will need to show their full valid driver’s licence in any branch and provide a credit card for a daily surcharge. Too easy!
Family-friendly car hire
Redspot is a family-run business and selects modern SUVs, sedans and people carriers for family comfort. With a range of baby, child and booster seats available to hire, the little ones don’t miss out.
Toll-road Tricks
Buy peace-of-mind with a Redspot toll road waiver and say goodbye to unexpected charges.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I need a credit card to rent a car in Australia?
No, not with Redspot! Bring either a valid credit OR debit card in the renter’s name and you’re all revved up to hire a Redspot vehicle. Otherwise, you’ll just need a valid driver’s licence for any drivers planning to take the wheel.
International visitors will also need to present their passport and an English translation if necessary.
Are you located inside the Brisbane Domestic Terminal?
Yes, our friendly Redspot team is located inside the Brisbane Domestic Terminal! We have desks inside both the Virgin Australia and Qantas Domestic Terminals, right next to the baggage reclaim area.
If the desk is unmanned, head to our main office by following the pedestrian signs to the car rental car park (Ground Floor). This is also where you will find your rental vehicle, which is ready to roll whenever you are.
What do you need to hire a car in QLD (Queensland)?
We’ll always try to see you off as quickly as we can, but we do need to review some documents before sending you on your way.
Here’s what you’ll need to bring when hiring a car in Queensland:
- Driver’s licence doesn’t display your current home address? (Don’t worry, we’ve all been there!) In this case, you’ll also need to supply ID with this information, like a utility bill.
- Credit/debit card in renter’s name and/or purchase order or prepaid voucher
- Valid driver’s licence/s for yourself and any additional drivers. If your licence is not in English, please include a translation provided by your embassy or home country traffic authority.
- Your passport (if you’re an overseas visitor)
How to return a rental car at Brisbane Airport?
Need to return your Redspot rental car? Wrap up your Brisbane adventures by taking the slip road on the right into the Domestic Airport P1 Car Park and following the signs. (For Brisbane International Airport returns, take the road under the Arrivals ramp and turn left into the rental area.)
Park your rental car at the designated Redspot parking bay and return the car keys to Redspot’s rental counter nearby. Too easy!

Red-hot Brisbane tips from our local staff
“If you’ve got some time to kill before your flight out, check out BrewDog Dog Tap Brewery on the south side of the Brisbane River, just underneath the Gateway Bridge and about 15 minutes from the airport. They offer a large beverage selection, live music, indoor and outdoor seating and great food. A nice way to finish off your Brisbane trip!” – Alex, Brisbane Airport Branch Manager
