Maximum age is no barrier
With Redspot, age is just a number! There is no maximum age to hit the road.

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!

Frequently Asked Questions:
Do rental cars track your speed?
No, Redspot rental cars do not track your speed or monitor general activity in our cars to respect your privacy. That said, take it easy on the pedal!
If you get a speeding ticket or a fine in one of our vehicles, we won’t be able to pay the fee ourselves. In this case, we will email the bill to you and charge a $55 admin fee. Ultimately, it’s easier to drive within the speed limit and adhere to local road rules to make your journey as hassle-free as possible.
What are the rules for renting a car in Australia?
Whether you’re gearing up for adventure in Perth or beyond, Aussie car rental comes with a few requirements before you get driving. To rent a car in Australia, you must:
- 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
Coming from overseas? International visitors must also present a physical passport and a 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.
How close to full does rental car need to be?
For rental car pick-up, your vehicle comes with a full tank of fuel so you can get rolling ASAP! For returns, you have a few refuelling choices on hand. Fuel options include:
- Prepay for a full tank at a discounted rate at the start of your rental period. This will save you the hassle of filling it up later, just note that there’s no refund for unused fuel.
- Only get charged for the fuel you use. This is available at a higher rate than prepayment.
Refuel your rental vehicle before returning it. Please fill the vehicle right before returning to avoid extra charges.
Is it easy to drive in Perth?
Driving in Perth is safe and easy to navigate, with wide roads, little traffic and generally high visibility. As in other Australian cities, you must follow the local road rules. However, Perth’s driveability makes road adventures a popular pastime for locals and visitors alike!
