Quick Summary
Baraka Car Rental offers weekly car rental in Melbourne for personal use and rideshare drivers. Weekly rentals provide flexibility without long-term commitments, featuring fuel-efficient Toyota hybrids, comprehensive insurance, and straightforward pricing with no hidden fees.
Why Long-Term Rental Beats a Car Subscription
Car subscriptions sound convenient until you read the fine print. Most Melbourne subscription services — Splend, Carbar, Karmo — charge $300–$500 per week with minimum commitment periods of 3–12 months. Break early and you face hefty exit fees.
Baraka's long-term car rental gives you the same all-inclusive experience from $200/week with genuinely no lock-in. Rent for four weeks or four months — it's your call. Insurance, maintenance, roadside assistance and unlimited kilometres are all included. No balloon payments, no depreciation risk, no finance applications.
This makes long-term rental ideal for people who need reliable transport without the financial burden of car ownership or the rigidity of a subscription contract. Read our detailed car subscription vs car rental comparison to see the full cost breakdown.
Who Rents Long-Term With Baraka?
Our long-term customers fall into distinct groups, each with different reasons for choosing rental over ownership:
- Full-time rideshare drivers — Uber, DiDi and delivery drivers who treat their vehicle as a business tool. Low fixed weekly cost maximises net earnings.
- Visa holders and new arrivals — International students and temporary visa holders who can't access traditional car finance but need daily transport.
- FIFO and contract workers — Fly-in-fly-out workers and project-based contractors who need a car for defined periods without long-term commitments.
- Families between vehicles — Households waiting on a new car purchase, insurance settlement, or repair who need interim transport.

Why long-term car rental Instead of Buying, Leasing, or Subscription?
Buying a car means a large upfront cost, depreciation, registration, insurance and ongoing servicing. For people who need a vehicle for months — not years — ownership is expensive and inflexible.
Car subscriptions from Splend, Carbar or Karmo charge $300–$500/week with minimum commitment periods and exit fees. They solve the ownership problem but create a new one: rigid contracts at premium prices.
Long-term rental through Baraka is the middle ground. You pay $200/week all-inclusive — insurance, servicing, roadside assistance and unlimited kilometres. There are no lock-in contracts, no exit fees, and no minimum terms beyond four weeks. For rideshare drivers, visa holders, contract workers, or families between vehicles, long-term rental delivers ownership convenience without ownership cost.
Long-Term Hire for Uber and Rideshare Drivers
Full-time rideshare drivers benefit most from long-term rental. Instead of committing to a car loan or subscription with rigid terms, you get a fuel-efficient Toyota hybrid that's already approved for Uber and DiDi — ready to earn from day one.
Our hybrid fleet delivers 4.5–5.5L/100km fuel economy, which translates to real savings over thousands of kilometres. Combined with $200/week all-inclusive pricing, your overheads stay predictable so you can focus on maximising trips.
