Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I need a car to get around Sydney?
For the most part, Sydney is relatively easy to get around by public transport. However, pockets of Sydney are hard to get to without a car, and having one will definitely allow you to see more of the beautiful city and its surrounds.
What does “on airport” mean for car rental?
‘On airport’ means that your rental car is ready for collection close to the airport. At Redspot, our complimentary shuttle bus will get you to your car rental in under 20 minutes.
How old do you have to be to hire a car in Sydney?
The good news with us is that if you’re over 21, you can hire a car from Redspot! Keeping you safe is Number 1 on our agenda, so we do have a few safety rules designed to make sure you get from Point A to Point B without a glitch.
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
When you rent a car, remember to factor in the daily surcharge. This surcharge applies to all drivers holding an Australian provisional driver’s licence. Keep in mind that P-platers can also reduce damage cover to a maximum of $330.
Aged between 21 and 25? You have access to our range of small to medium-sized sedans and hatchbacks. Provisional drivers over the age of 25 can enjoy renting any vehicle available from our entire fleet.
Check out our Provisional Drivers page for all the details to get you geared up for the road.
Is there a maximum age for car rental in Sydney?
The limit does not exist. However, if you’re over 75 we kindly ask for a medical certificate that gives you the all-clear (and peace of mind) to drive.
Explore Sydney with Redspot
Sydney is the perfect combo of natural and urban. Whether you’re into beaches and nature walks or you’ve got a soft spot for cafe culture and nightlife, Sydney hits all the notes. Here are just a few of our top picks for where to go while you’re here:
Bondi Beach
Sydney Opera House
Taronga Zoo
Bowral
Less than a 2-hour drive from Sydney, Bowral is a quaint little town that’ll make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Treat yourself to high tea and scones or visit some cute homeware stores on the main strip. If you’re after something a bit stronger than tea, check out one of the wineries nearby. It won’t disappoint.
