What are the minimum age requirements for car hire in Kew?
The minimum age for standard vehicle rental is 21 years. Drivers aged 21-24 are subject to a young driver surcharge (typically $20-30 per day) and may have restrictions on certain vehicle categories. Luxury, prestige, and high-performance vehicles generally require drivers to be 25 years or older. There’s no maximum age limit—mature drivers with current valid licenses are welcome. If you’re under 25 and need a rental, we’ll find the right solution for you.
Do you provide delivery service to homes and businesses throughout Kew?
Absolutely. We offer complimentary delivery service throughout Kew and immediate surrounding suburbs for rentals of three days or longer. This includes residential homes, offices, hotels, and any specified location. For shorter rentals (1-2 days), delivery is available for a nominal fee of approximately $25-35 depending on your exact location. Simply indicate your preferred delivery address when booking, and we’ll coordinate a convenient delivery time that works with your schedule.
Can I rent a car in Kew and return it to a different location?
Yes, we offer flexible one-way rental services throughout Melbourne. Common scenarios include picking up in Kew and returning to Melbourne Airport, CBD, or other metropolitan locations. A relocation fee may apply depending on the drop-off location and rental duration. Contact us when booking to arrange one-way rental and confirm any applicable additional charges. We’re experienced in accommodating these requests efficiently.
What if I need to extend my rental period after collection?
Extensions are usually straightforward when arranged in advance. Simply contact us by phone at 03 4568 9900 or email contact@emeraldcarsalesandrentals.com.au before your scheduled return time. Subject to vehicle availability, we’ll extend your rental at the agreed daily rate. If you exceed your return time without prior notification, additional charges apply based on hourly or full daily rates. We recommend contacting us as soon as you know your plans have changed to avoid complications.
Is unlimited mileage included with Kew car rentals?
Yes, all rentals within Greater Melbourne include unlimited kilometers for travel throughout the metropolitan area and popular destinations including the Yarra Valley, Dandenong Ranges, Mornington Peninsula, and Phillip Island. For extended interstate trips or travel to remote regional areas, specific terms and mileage limits may apply. Always discuss your planned travel route with us when booking to ensure you have appropriate coverage and understand any terms.
What is your fuel policy for rental vehicles?
We operate a transparent and fair full-to-full fuel policy. You’ll receive the vehicle with a full tank of fuel and simply return it with a full tank. This approach ensures you only pay for the fuel you actually consume during your rental period. If refueling before return is inconvenient, we can arrange refueling service for the actual fuel cost plus a service fee. Petrol stations are conveniently located along High Street, Burke Road, and throughout Kew for easy refueling.
Can additional drivers be added to my rental agreement?
Yes, we can add additional drivers to your rental agreement. Each additional driver must meet our standard requirements: valid driver’s license held for at least 12 months, minimum age of 21 (or 25 for certain vehicle categories), and must be present with appropriate documentation during vehicle collection. A small daily fee per additional driver typically applies (usually $5-10 per day). Spouses may be exempt from fees—inquire about couple’s rental policies when booking.
What COVID-19 safety measures remain in place?
Health and safety continue to be priorities for our operation. Every vehicle undergoes thorough sanitization between rentals, with particular attention to high-touch surfaces including steering wheels, gear shifters, door handles, window controls, infotainment systems, and seat adjustments. Hand sanitizer is provided in every vehicle. Contactless pick-up and drop-off options remain available for customers who prefer minimal in-person interaction. Our staff maintain current health protocols and can accommodate specific safety preferences upon request.
