Tackling a home renovation or moving heavy furniture? Running a business that requires transporting bulky goods? A ute hire might be the perfect solution for you!
Utes are versatile vehicles that handle everything from DIY jobs to moving houses, so you can get the job done without the hassle.
Ute for carrying cargo
Need a ute to transport tools, building materials or even larger cargo? Redspot’s range of utes, including the popular Toyota Hilux, provides the durability and reliability needed for heavy-duty tasks.
With features like reverse cameras, cruise control and spacious trays, a quality ute makes it easy to load up and go, whether for work or play.

Sometimes you need a one-way ute rental, whether moving interstate or relocating equipment. At Redspot, we’ve made it easy to pick up a ute at one location and drop it off at another (also known as ‘vehicle relocation’).

What to know before you book a ute hire
Whether you’re hiring a ute for the first time or are a seasoned pro, there are a few things to consider to ensure a smooth experience. Here are some handy tips to make your next ute rental stress-free:
- Bring the essentials: You’ll need a valid driver’s license and debit/credit card in the renter’s name to book your ute hire. All rentals require a debit/credit card for pre-authorisation at pick-up. Any additional drivers? Ensure they also bring their valid driver’s license so you can easily share driving duties!
- Age requirements: If you’re 21 or older and a provisional driver, you’re good to go when hiring a ute from Redspot! For drivers over 75, a medical certificate is needed to ensure you’re safe behind the wheel.
- License type: You only need a Standard Car License (Class C) to hire a ute. No special license is required, so it’s easy and accessible for most drivers.
- Consider your load size: Utes come with various tray sizes. Be sure to assess how much space you’ll need. Whether you’re moving furniture or carrying heavy equipment, check that your ute can handle the weight and dimensions of your cargo.
- Rental costs: Calculate costs based on how long you’ll need the ute and factor in additional services like one-way rentals, which may involve extra fees. Save on big trips by renting a ute big enough to carry everything in one go!
- Local vs. long-distance: Make sure your ute hire covers the distance for long-distance or interstate hauls. With unlimited kilometres from Redspot, you can gear up for a longer road trip with confidence!
- Cargo spaces: Utes have open trays which are perfect for carrying large, awkwardly shaped items. However, open spaces offer less protection from the elements, so plan accordingly if transporting delicate goods.
- Accessories: To make your move even easier, ask about Redspot’s range of moving accessories, such as ropes and tarps. Keeping your load secure means less stress and a safer trip.
Finally, remember that utes drive differently from regular cars! Watch out for height restrictions and windy areas where the open tray might affect your load.
