Overall i had a good experience car was well presented and the booking system was easily navigated , however struggled to locate the office at Sydney domestic and was a little worried when I received a call asking why had not returned the vehicle 5 hours after I had returned it.. But all sorted relativity quickly
Vehicle that was provided was suitable, however inside and out the vehicle was dirty. Either a very quick wipe over to get the vehicle ready for my hire or maybe some other reason. Seats and floor needed vacuuming, cup holders dirty, outside rims and side steps not cleaned. Maybe minor but an unexpected look.

Great customer service over the phone and at Hobart and Launceston airports. Very easy return process which eased stress of making flight check in. Pricing and insurance coverage options were quite good also. Will use and recommend Redspot again.
The rental went great. No issues and wonderful customer service at the rental desk with both check out and return. My only problem was finding the rental area, very difficult to locate when we arrived. Needs better signage.
First of, found a car where every other car rental was full. Second, as the car class I rented wasn’t available they honour the agreement and got upgraded to higher class car. Car was spotless. The only thing is that the tank wasn’t full and I didn’t realised before starting the trip. Other than that, happy days..!!
very good airport pick up so good but wasn't Redspot
Car was in good working order. Had asked and paid for a GPS which was not provided. Whilst they did refund the money on return, it wasn’t ideal.
I really liked the all inclusive price, "Top Dog". I had reserved a Subaru Forrester, which when I first started looking for a rental was not offered. So, I mistakenly thought that these were NEW Forresters like the picture on the website. No, these were old without the latest safety features. I ended up with a newer Holden Equinox which had some new safety features. Other than that, I had a great experience with Redspot.
I found Redspot to be very good value. We got the car we needed. The office at Sydney Domestic Airport was difficult to find if coming from Qantas terminal but apparently they are only permitted 2 signs to give directions. Maybe a small map on the sign would be useful. The office staff were very friendly and helpful.
