Question 1

How much does it cost to rent a car from Baraka?

Accepted Answer

Our Toyota hybrid fleet starts from $240/week for the Corolla, $250/week for the Camry, $300/week for the RAV4, and $380/week for the 7-seater Kluger. Every rental includes comprehensive insurance, roadside assistance, servicing, and unlimited kilometres — fuel is your only extra cost.

Question 2

Are your vehicles approved for Uber, DiDi, and Uber Eats?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every vehicle in our fleet meets the platform requirements for Uber, DiDi, and Uber Eats. We can also help guide you through the driver onboarding process if you're just getting started.

Question 3

Is there a lock-in contract or minimum rental period?

Accepted Answer

No. We offer flexible weekly and daily rentals with no lock-in contracts. You can return the vehicle with a week's notice — no penalties and no long-term commitments.

Question 4

What's included in the weekly rental price?

Accepted Answer

Everything except fuel. Your weekly rate covers comprehensive insurance, 24/7 roadside assistance, scheduled servicing, and unlimited kilometres. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges.

Question 5

How quickly can I get on the road?

Accepted Answer

Most drivers are on the road within 24 hours. Simply enquire via phone, WhatsApp, or our website — we'll verify your licence and ID, confirm your vehicle, and arrange pickup from our Tarneit base. It's that simple.

Question 6

Can I rent a car for Uber in Melbourne?

Accepted Answer

Yes — all Baraka Car Rentals vehicles are pre-approved for Uber, DiDi, and Uber Eats in Melbourne. We handle the CPV (Commercial Passenger Vehicle) vehicle compliance so you don't have to. You simply need your own CPV driver accreditation and an ABN to get started. Most new drivers are on the road within 24 hours of enquiring.

Question 7

Do I need my own car insurance?

Accepted Answer

No. Comprehensive insurance is included in your weekly rental rate — there is nothing extra to arrange or pay for. All vehicles are fully insured for commercial rideshare and delivery use from day one.

Question 8

What happens if the car breaks down?

Accepted Answer

24/7 roadside assistance is included with every rental at no extra cost. If your vehicle has a mechanical issue, call our roadside line and we will arrange a replacement vehicle as quickly as possible to minimise your downtime and lost earnings.

Question 9

What is the security deposit and when do I get it back?

Accepted Answer

A refundable security deposit is required at the start of your rental. The deposit is returned in full within 5–7 business days of returning the vehicle, provided there is no damage beyond normal wear and tear. We'll confirm the exact deposit amount when you enquire, as it varies by vehicle model.

Question 10

Can I rent a car without Uber or DiDi — just for personal use?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. While many of our customers are rideshare drivers, we also offer weekly car hire for everyday personal use, family trips, replacement vehicles, and temporary transport needs. All the same inclusions apply — comprehensive insurance, unlimited kilometres, 24/7 roadside assistance — whether you're driving for rideshare or personal use. Pricing starts from $240/week.
