Redspot Car Rentals Melbourne Airport
4.2 (5)Ground Level - Car Rental Car Park Office, Arrival Dr, Melbourne Airport,
Mon–Fri 06:30–23:30, w/e 07:00–23:30My flight was early and I was informed I couldn’t pick up the car until 30 before my booking. The car is in terrible condition damaged panels, wipers that don’t work very well. I was given a Skoda instead of the Yaris. Redspot hardly ever gives me the car specified at booking. This has been my worst experience and I probably won’t choose a car through redspot again. Just letting you know. I’m a big fan of vroom (ROBERT BENJAMIN S. · Oct 2026)
