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
- Some countries may need to apply for an international driver’s permit
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.
Fuel Flexibility
Pre-pay, post-pay or refuel your rental car yourself. Redspot make it easy to keep a full tank for an Australian adventure.
Don’t sweat the paperwork
All you need to bring for collection is your valid driver’s licence and credit card. If it’s your first time renting locally, you’ll also need to bring a third form of identification like a current utility bill. We will take care of the rest!

Frequently Asked Questions:
What will I need to bring when I collect my rental car from the Redspot Lidcombe branch?
There are a few documents you need to present before you can begin your Lidcombe travels. They are:
- Credit/charge card and/or purchase order or prepaid voucher.
- Your valid driver’s licence and the driver’s licence of any additional drivers. If your licence is not in English, we’ll need to see a translation provided by your embassy or home country traffic authority.
- If your driver’s licence doesn’t display your current home address, you’ll also need to supply identification that shows this. For example, you could present a utility bill.
Do you offer one-way car hires from the Redspot Lidcombe branch?
Redspot offers one-way car hires (also known as vehicle relocations) between our Sydney locations. Wherever you want to finish up your time in the Harbour City, we’re happy to accommodate.
We also do our best to enable one-way journeys throughout some other parts of Australia. You can see our full list of locations when planning your adventure. Let us know where you’d like to drop your vehicle off, and we’ll do our best to make it happen.

Redspot has no maximum age for car rentals. However many years young you are, you can pick up a vehicle at our Lidcombe branch for work or play!
Can P-platers hire cars in New South Wales?
Thanks to Redspot, you can! Unlike many other Australian car hire companies, Redspot allows P-platers over 21 to rent a car in NSW.
To ensure your journey is a safe one, we have a few rules that are designed to make sure your journey goes off without a hitch.
If you’re a P-plater, you must:
- Have held your driver’s licence for a minimum of 1 year.
- Have a driver’s licence that is valid for a minimum of 12 months from the date of rental collection.
Please also keep in mind our daily surcharge. This surcharge applies to all drivers holding an Australian provisional driver’s licence. In addition, P-platers can reduce damage cover to a maximum of $330.
Drivers between the ages of 21 and 25 can access our range of small to medium-sized sedans and hatchbacks. Provisional drivers over the age of 25 can enjoy renting any available Redspot vehicle.
