Why Rideshare Car Hire Instead of Buying, Leasing, or Subscription?
Buying a car for rideshare means committing significant capital to an asset that will depreciate quickly under high-mileage use. For drivers still testing whether rideshare suits their lifestyle, this creates unnecessary financial risk.
Leasing imposes mileage restrictions that conflict with the reality of full-time rideshare driving. Exceeding caps results in expensive end-of-lease surcharges, and early termination fees make it difficult to exit if your plans change.
Baraka's weekly rental model is purpose-built for rideshare. Everything is included, there are no mileage restrictions, and you can stop renting at any time without penalty.
