Why Every Melbourne Airport Passenger Needs a Car
Melbourne Airport has been without a train for more than 50 years — and it will remain that way until at least 2033. The Melbourne Airport Rail project is under construction, but Stage 1 (the Sunshine Superhub) only completes the infrastructure precursor by 2030, and the actual airport station is not planned to open until 2033 at the earliest.
Your options are: taxi ($60–70+ to CBD), SkyBus ($40 return per person — a family of four pays $160 each way), rideshare ($45–75+ to CBD plus airport access charge), or an on-airport rental car with airport location surcharges on top of already-high rates. Or: hire from Baraka at $240/week all-inclusive, no surcharges, 20 minutes from the airport via the Western Ring Road.
Picking up family from overseas
Arriving international passengers with luggage, children or elderly relatives need transport directly from the terminal. A hire car from Baraka means you drive to the airport, load the car, and head straight to your destination — anywhere in Victoria.
Business travellers needing a car for their visit
Arriving business travellers needing a car for Melbourne meetings, site visits or regional travel get dramatically better value at $240/week than paying on-airport surcharge rates. Call before your flight lands — your car can be ready within the hour.
Visiting family from interstate or regional Victoria
Weekly hire is far more flexible than daily airport rentals and unlimited kilometres are included — perfect for visitors using the car across a multi-week stay across Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Rideshare drivers working the airport pickup zone
Our entire fleet is pre-approved for Uber and DiDi airport trips. Melbourne Airport is one of Melbourne's highest-earning rideshare zones — longer trips, higher fares, all-hours demand.
Car replacement — vehicle in for service before a trip
Car going in the week before an airport run? Our same-day pickup from Tarneit covers the gap. In many cases we can have a vehicle ready within one hour of your call.

The security deposit (bond) is $500 for all vehicles — held during rental and returned at the end in good condition. If you are at fault in an incident, a $1,000 insurance excess applies. If you are not at fault, no excess is charged. Comprehensive insurance is included in your weekly rate.
