Frequently Asked Questions:
What are the rules for renting a car in Australia?
Renting a car in Australia requires that you:
- Be over 21 years old.
- Present a valid credit/debit card OR purchase order OR prepaid voucher in the renter’s name.
- Present a valid, physical driver’s licence in the renter’s name. Note: Digital licences, photos or copies are not accepted.
- Present valid driver’s licence/s for any additional drivers, who must be present at the time of vehicle pick-up.
If you are an international visitor, you must also present your physical passport and valid full driver’s licence at vehicle pick-up. Make sure to bring an official translation of your driving licence if it is not in English. You may request translation documents from your country’s embassy or local traffic authority.
Do I need an international driver’s license to rent a car in Australia?
Yes! International visitors will need a valid overseas driver’s licence and passport to rent vehicles while in Australia.
If you’re loving your time here and stay in Australia for longer than 3 months, you’ll need to transition to a local driver’s licence. This depends on the state or territory you’re travelling in, so check in with our friendly team for local advice. If your licence is not in English, we’ll also need a translated version from your embassy or traffic authority in your home country. For more information, see our complete guide to renting a vehicle with an overseas licence.
How far in advance should you hire a car?
Prices are generally higher during busy travel periods such as Christmas, so it’s best to secure your car rental between 4-6 months in advance.
This is especially important if travelling with a large group and/or you require a specific car make or model. Sort out your car rental early and enjoy peace of mind as you zoom off on your adventures ASAP.
What does car hire include?
Every Redspot car hire includes no cancellation fees, no amendment fees, 24/7 roadside assistance, compulsory third-party insurance, standard damage cover and unlimited km allowance. Your car hire also comes with a full fuel tank at pick-up. All on top of a lovingly maintained and quality fleet to choose your ideal vehicle from!
