4  G Wilcher  · They were good. The girl at the airport was very friendly & helpful. Drop off was easy.
5  G Greaves  · Everything went smoothly, the car was new and great to drive. Pick up and drop off was easy. Would use again.
1  T Pierre Alexis  · I'm never renting a car with this agency again. Hidden fees, payment terminal not working
1  A Prichard  · Appalling service. Over priced. Also still not received deposit refund after after returning the vehicle 14 days ago. Will not use RedSpot again.
3  C Utting  · Everything went according to plan great but disappointed you have to pay for 3 days hire for actual hire of 2 days and 2 hours
5  Mark  · Great car. Seamless pick up and drop off. Friendly smiles. A lot to like.

The relocation was an easy process from start to finish. The car was good to drive, great on fuel, comfortable, & easy enough to work our.. except I don't like the auto sensor steering.. other than that, there were no problems with the car or company ..& at 5 bux a day, how can you complain. Thank you Show details

The car was exactly that we asked for. Although the pickup and drop off venues were changed at the last moment from international airport to the domestic airport, the staff were very helpful. Show details

Even though I made a last-minute reservation the night before, the staff were cheerful and welcoming, making for a very pleasant experience. Naturally, the car was well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable drive, and the price was a great deal. I would certainly like to use this service again when I visit the Gold Coast. Show details

I am giving a Five Star for redspot car rental for their excellent service. Arrived Brisbane international airport. The staff say my car at brisbane domestic terminal which i have to take a free shuttle bus to collect my car?

i ever get. I Rental car for 8 days. And last day I return and Reached brisbane international airport, but saw No staff at the counter. I dropped my car key in the key box and proceeded to the check in counter to collect my boarding pass. Reached singapore. Few days later I received a email, say I returned my car late at 3pm? I have to email to brisbane airport that 3pm i am already in the Air. I need to be at the airport 3 hrs before flight, as my flight is 2.45pm departure. And I return my car within the 30min grace period. Have to submit my E ticket and my Boarding pass to show brisbane airport. Luckily I still keep my boarding pass and E ticket. Or I have to pay the additional late charges. Overall car is great . No worries just a updates to help redspot to improve better. And lastly I will give 5 Star for their excellent service.

From our first contact with RedSpot Car Rentals, by phone, till our final drop off a week later, we were looked after exceptionally well. The staff were lovely.

finances were handled efficiently. Photos were taken of the car before we picked it up, and we could add more, if required. Definitely, would recommend RedSpot to anyone wanting to hire a car.

Would definitely recommend them and use them again without hesitation. We booked a smaller hatch but were pleasantly surprised when we received a Nissan xtrail. The car was super clean and lovely to drive. The pick up and drop off process was super easy and efficient. The whole experience was A+. Show details

First car couldn't get sat nav to work so they gave me a upgrade but still no sat nav so had to use my phone. Then dropped my car off at brisbane… Read more

as agreed and they took £326 from my account without informing me when I questioned it they told me it was taken in error saying it was a drop off fee a week later still waiting for them to return it

 Follow-up  · He did try to get my sat nav going even upgraded the the car, must of spent a good half hour then he had to go. The drop off at brisbane airport had no space to park left the car by the kerb, no one at the desk so left the keys in the box. As for the over charge taken without my knowledge, finally got most of it back, didn't explained why they took it and no apology didn't even tell me they had paid it back

 Follow-up  · Took about one month to get most of the money back. They gave us another car different model. They final sent me a refund no explanation and no apology

Good counter service at Newcastle airport, easy online booking process, and I managed to get an upgraded car! Show details

 Follow-up  · Yes, it was very good value. Upgraded car was unexpected and a lovely surprise. Drop off was easy - no one was at the counter so we dropped off the keys in the designated box at the airport and left to catch our flight.

Very convenient location. Did not have the size of car we booked on arrival and we had to fight to get the correct size. This issue was corrected though and customer service was pleasant. Very strange that the staff could not adjust the return… Read more

time one hour back so as not to trigger an extra days charge ( we arrived an hour early) so I had to call head office twice to ensure we were not charged for an extra day as we dropped the car back more than an hour earlier. Decent price but not amazing value and there is a $5,400 excess/deductible (lucky our travel credit card covers this).

 Follow-up  · Car size delay didn't take long, staff member on duty made a few calls and organised a larger vehicle. Early return to avoid an extra days charge was avoided but I had to make two more phone calls to confirm this as the drop off spot is unstaffed so I wanted them to confirm the car was returned on time.

I was overall very happy with my rental, vehicle provided and service. Only one thing I would like to offer as feedback is that I arrived early and there was no flexibility by even one hour to allow me to access the vehicle. I even suggested I would return the vehicle one hour sooner, but this was not possible. I would have been required to pay… Read more

for a full additional day. I have been offered flexibility with another company at another time and this would have made my experience perfect.

Hi Redspot, Car was great, man at the desk booking in and on return. No matter what the car rent company, I still dont understand, why it takes so long, booking at the counter to rent a car? Everything should be pre done (online) & all they need to see is ones driving licence, then go. Anyway, as I said its all rent a car companies, so there… Read more

must be some reason.

Would give you a competitive advantage if you could streamline the book in process.

We had put down a time to collect the car, no one was available at either the international or domestic desk. We waited until the desk opened and no one showed up for over an hr and could not be located either in the carpark. In the end I had to call a phone number 4 times which took me to 4 different locations to ask for someone to come to the… Read more

desk to provide the car keys. After all that chasing down the person who showed up didn't even acknowledge they weren't open on time or apologised to the customers who had been lining up for over an hr waiting for them

Cars are great but your invoicing is terrible. I cannot reconcile what I am being charged and what invoices are sent to me. I will not rent from you anymore if you cannot invoice me properly.

Child seat put in car upon request but not installed and not notified so it was loose with the child in it until the last day we realised. At drop off time, it was mentioned to the agent but he said it would be illegal for a car rental company to install it. I went through the rules and it is not illegal but most car rental companies do not do it to avoid liability. and simply do not mention to customers. This is unacceptable.

Booked through vroomvroomvroom. Great informative team member who checked us in at OOL airport. Did take quite a while to check in compared to other rental car companies we have used, which held us up a bit especially as there was another customer in front and only one check in agent at desk. Would be good if could submit licences/passports… Read more

or atleast register extra drivers before arriving at desks as this was also quite time consuming. Assumed second driver would be free but was charged for 2nd and 3rd driver.

Excellent value for money though especially for a large Kia for 10 days. Very comfy too.

Also appreciated transparency when was sent photos before I got in vehicle for me to check over first. Noticed few extra scrapes/dent not visible in photos provided but was quickly able to rectify/advise redspot. Called the redspot number which diverted to MEL Airport and confirmed few things with him before I drove away. He was also very helpful.

Easy return and friendly guy in redspot parking area taking keys and checking vehicle.

Would definitely book with redspot again. Pricing was much more competitive compared to Avis budget etc.

I was grateful to be allocated a slightly larger car than I had booked. The car had not been cleaned since the last user and had coffee stains in the drink holder and some lollies in the console and on the floor. Locating the vehicle was simple but connecting my phone was a bit of a challenge. I was provided some assistance to solve what was a… Read more

really simple solution though and all went well after that. The car was very economical and I had no mechanical issues. My second reason for the lower score was the excess which was over $5000.00. Which I could have had removed for a further $250.00 on top of the insurance which I had taken out from a separate company. I was told I would need to pay that first if the car was damaged and then claim in back through the insurance policy I had purchased later. I found I was quite anxious about the vehicle and using it with such a large excess hanging over me. I don't know if this type of experience is now typical because I haven't hired a car for over 10 years.
