Situated in Melbourne’s sought-after southeastern suburbs, Caulfield combines heritage charm with modern convenience, featuring the iconic Caulfield Racecourse, prestigious educational institutions, and vibrant retail precincts. From the leafy streets of Caulfield North to the bustling activity around Caulfield Station, this diverse suburb offers exceptional connectivity and lifestyle amenities. Whether you’re a local resident, attending events at the racecourse, visiting Monash University Caulfield campus, or exploring the area, professional car hire in Caulfield provides the flexibility and convenience to experience Melbourne on your terms.
Emerald Car Sales & Rentals delivers comprehensive vehicle rental services to the Caulfield community, featuring an extensive fleet, competitive rates, and personalized service that reflects the high standards this distinguished suburb expects.

What are the minimum age requirements for car hire in Caulfield?

Drivers aged 21-24 are subject to a young driver surcharge (typically $20-30 per day) and may have restrictions on certain vehicle categories, particularly luxury and prestige models. High-performance and premium vehicles generally require drivers to be 25 years or older. There’s no maximum age limit—we welcome experienced drivers with current valid licenses. Monash University students meeting age and license requirements are eligible for our student-friendly rental programs.
Do you provide delivery service throughout Caulfield and surrounding suburbs?
Yes, we offer complimentary delivery service throughout Caulfield and immediate surrounding suburbs for rentals of three days or longer. This includes Caulfield North, Caulfield South, Caulfield East, residential properties, student accommodation near Monash campus, and business locations. For shorter rentals (1-2 days) or race day pick-ups, delivery is available for a nominal fee of approximately $25-35. Simply specify your preferred delivery address when booking—we’ll coordinate timing that works with your schedule.
Can I rent a car for Caulfield Racecourse events and race days?
Absolutely. We specialize in providing vehicles for Caulfield Racecourse events including Melbourne Cup Carnival, Spring Racing Carnival, Caulfield Cup, Blue Diamond Stakes, and other major race days. We offer luxury vehicles for VIP experiences, executive sedans for corporate hospitality, and group transport solutions. During peak racing season, we recommend booking in advance to ensure vehicle availability. We can coordinate flexible pick-up and drop-off timing around race schedules.
Can I rent a car in Caulfield and return it to Melbourne Airport or another location?
Yes, we offer flexible one-way rental services throughout Melbourne. Common scenarios include picking up in Caulfield and returning to Melbourne Airport for departures, or dropping off in the CBD after business meetings. This is particularly convenient for interstate visitors, race day attendees departing Melbourne, or residents heading on holidays. A relocation fee may apply depending on drop-off location and rental duration. Contact us when booking to arrange one-way rental and confirm any additional charges.
What happens if I need to extend my rental period beyond the original return date?
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 or weekly rate. This commonly occurs when race day events extend, travel plans change, or visiting family stays longer. If you exceed your return time without prior notification, additional charges apply. We recommend contacting us as soon as you know your plans have changed.
Is unlimited mileage included with Caulfield car rentals?
Yes, all rentals include unlimited kilometers for travel throughout Greater Melbourne and popular regional destinations including the Mornington Peninsula, Yarra Valley, Dandenong Ranges, Phillip Island, Geelong, and coastal areas. This makes beach trips, wine tours, and weekend getaways completely worry-free. For extended interstate travel or remote regional journeys, specific terms may apply. Always discuss your planned travel route when booking to ensure appropriate coverage.
What fuel policy do you operate for rental vehicles?
We use a transparent full-to-full fuel policy. You’ll receive the vehicle with a full tank and simply return it with a full tank. This ensures you only pay for the fuel you actually consume—fair and straightforward. If refueling before return is inconvenient, we can arrange refueling service for the actual fuel cost plus a service fee. Multiple petrol stations are conveniently located along Glen Huntly Road, Dandenong Road, and throughout Caulfield.
Do you offer special packages for Monash University students or race day attendees?
Yes, we offer specialized packages for both groups. Monash Caulfield campus students with valid ID can access competitive rates, flexible semester-based rentals, and student-friendly terms. For race day attendees, we provide luxury vehicle packages suitable for Melbourne Cup Carnival and major racing events, with flexible timing to accommodate race schedules and corporate hospitality requirements. Contact us to discuss specific packages, requirements, and available discounts for your situation.
