Toyota hybrid vehicles suitable for eligible Uber and DiDi use, from $240/week. Flexible weekly rentals, unlimited kilometres, and same-day collection subject to document verification and vehicle availability across Melbourne.
Quick answer
Rideshare car rental in Melbourne is a weekly hire arrangement using a vehicle available for eligible Uber, DiDi and Uber Eats use, subject to the selected vehicle and current platform requirements. Baraka's Toyota hybrids start from $240/week and include comprehensive insurance, unlimited kilometres, servicing, registration and 24/7 roadside assistance. A $500 refundable security deposit is required upfront and returned in full when the car is returned without damage or unpaid charges.
Most car rental companies in Melbourne weren't designed for rideshare drivers. They charge per kilometre, add conditions that limit your driving, and often include costs that make weekly budgeting harder.
Baraka Car Rentals is different. Every vehicle we rent is a Toyota hybrid, suitable for eligible Uber and DiDi use, with unlimited kilometres, comprehensive insurance, and roadside assistance — all for one flat weekly rate.

Was searching online for a reliable Uber car and came across this place. I'm based in Sunshine and went with a 2022 Camry Hybrid. Got everything sorted without any delays and the car has been great so far. Drives really well and helps keep fuel costs low which is important for Uber work. Overall a really smooth experience and good service
Arrived in Melbourne and needed a car straight away for Uber rideshare while based in Williams Landing. Picked up a Toyota Camry Hybrid from Tarneit and everything was sorted quickly and smoothly. The car is comfortable, fuel efficient, and ideal for rideshare work. Really happy with the quick service and overall support. Highly recommended
After an accident, I needed a car quickly for personal use while based in Hoppers Crossing. Got a 2019 Toyota Corolla Hybrid hatchback from Tarneit and everything was arranged fast with no hassle. The car is reliable, very fuel efficient, and perfect for daily driving around Melbourne. Really appreciate the quick help and support during a stressful time. Highly recommended
After comparing a few options for Uber and rideshare car rental in Melbourne, Baraka Car Rental stood out while I was based in Deer Park. The weekly rideshare rental with unlimited kilometres and no lock-in contract made it easy to work across multiple Melbourne suburbs. The car was fuel-efficient, comfortable, and well looked after, which really helps during long driving days. The whole process was smooth and professional. Definitely a reliable choice for rideshare drivers.
Rented a 2022 Toyota Camry Hybrid for Uber driving for around 9 months while living in Truganina. From day one, everything has been smooth and reliable. The car is very comfortable and fuel efficient, perfect for long hours on the road. Never had any issues and the support has always been great. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a long term Uber rental in Melbourne 👍
