Nestled along Port Phillip Bay’s golden coastline, Brighton stands as one of Melbourne’s most prestigious and picturesque bayside suburbs. From the iconic colorful bathing boxes that grace Brighton Beach to the elegant Victorian mansions lining tree-lined streets, this affluent suburb combines coastal beauty with sophisticated urban living. Whether you’re a Brighton resident, visiting the beachside area, exploring Melbourne’s bayside precincts, or attending events along the coast, professional car hire in Brighton delivers the quality vehicles and reliable service this distinguished suburb expects.

What are the minimum age requirements for car hire in Brighton?
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, particularly luxury and convertible models. High-performance and prestige vehicles generally require drivers to be 25 years or older. There’s no maximum age limit—we welcome experienced drivers with current valid licenses. If you’re under 25 and need a rental, contact us to discuss suitable options.
Do you provide delivery service throughout Brighton and surrounding bayside suburbs?
Absolutely. We offer complimentary delivery service throughout Brighton and immediate bayside suburbs for rentals of three days or longer. This includes beachfront properties along Esplanade, residential streets throughout Brighton, Brighton East, North Brighton, and nearby suburbs like Hampton, Sandringham, and Elwood. For shorter rentals (1-2 days), delivery is available for a nominal fee of approximately $25-35. Simply specify your preferred delivery address—we’ll coordinate timing that works with your schedule.
Are your vehicles suitable for beach use with sandy equipment and wet gear?
Yes, our vehicles are prepared to accommodate active beach lifestyles. While we ask that you shake off excessive sand and avoid saturating interiors, we understand that beach activities involve some sand and moisture. Our vehicles feature durable interiors, and we include floor mat protection. For significant beach equipment transport like kayaks or surfboards, roof racks are available. We simply request reasonable care—the same standards Brighton residents apply to their own vehicles.
Can I rent a convertible for coastal drives and beach days?
Absolutely! Convertibles are extremely popular with Brighton customers for coastal drives along Beach Road, Mornington Peninsula tours, and simply enjoying beautiful beach days. We recommend booking convertibles in advance, especially during summer months (November through March) when demand is highest. Our convertible collection includes various sizes from compact sports cars to luxury four-seater cabriolets, accommodating different group sizes and preferences.
Can I rent a car in Brighton 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 Brighton and returning to Melbourne Airport for departures, or dropping off in the CBD after business engagements. This is particularly convenient for interstate visitors staying in Brighton 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 during my beach holiday?
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 beach weather is exceptional or holiday plans extend. 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 Brighton car rentals?
Yes, all rentals include unlimited kilometers for travel throughout Greater Melbourne, the entire bayside region, and popular coastal destinations including the Mornington Peninsula, Phillip Island, Bellarine Peninsula, and Great Ocean Road. This makes beach hopping, wine tours, and coastal exploration completely worry-free. For extended interstate travel or remote regional journeys, specific terms may apply. Discuss your planned coastal routes when booking to ensure appropriate coverage.
Do you offer special packages for Mornington Peninsula weekend trips or golf outings?
Yes, we understand Brighton residents frequently visit the Mornington Peninsula for weekends, wine tours, and golf trips. We offer weekend packages that work perfectly for Friday-through-Monday Peninsula escapes. For golf outings, we can recommend vehicles with appropriate equipment space and provide roof racks if needed. Multi-day Peninsula packages receive preferential rates, and we can coordinate delivery timing around your tee times or accommodation check-in schedules.
