Getting started takes less than a few minutes.
Call us on 0461 555 511, message us on WhatsApp, or fill out the quote form on this page. We will confirm availability within minutes and walk you through your options.
Our approval process is straightforward and fast.
You will need to provide your full Australian driver's licence, Victorian CPV accreditation, ABN, and proof of a Melbourne address. We verify your documents within hours, not days.
Come in, meet the team, and drive away the same day.
Collect your Uber-ready hybrid from our depot at 16 Ishtar Street, Tarneit. When you arrive, we will walk you through the vehicle. You leave with the keys.
From pickup to your first fare — same day.
Once you are in the car, you are ready to earn on Uber, DiDi, or Uber Eats straight away. Most drivers take their first trip within hours of picking up the vehicle.
Need help with CPV accreditation or Uber sign-up? Call us — we have helped hundreds of Melbourne drivers get started from scratch.
Every feature is designed around what actually matters to drivers earning on the road week to week.
Every vehicle in our fleet is a Toyota hybrid. Drivers typically save $150–$200 per week on fuel compared to petrol-only cars, based on Toyota Australia's official fuel economy specifications. That saving goes directly into your pocket.
Rent week by week. If your plans change, return the vehicle at the end of any rental week — no exit fees, no penalties. You are in control of your own schedule.
One payment covers insurance, registration, servicing, and 24/7 roadside assistance. No surprise bills at the end of the month. Know exactly what you are paying every week.
We are based in Tarneit and personally support drivers across all of Melbourne. You deal directly with real people who understand the local rideshare landscape — not a call centre or app chatbot.
Submit your documents, get verified, and pick up your vehicle — most drivers are on the road the same day. We keep the paperwork lean so you start earning sooner.
Need to switch? Subject to availability, you can swap between models in our fleet — move from a Corolla to a Camry, or step up to the Kluger for UberXL higher-fare trips.
Understanding your income versus costs is the most important decision before getting started.
| Weekly Breakdown | Part-Time (20 hrs) | Full-Time (40 hrs) |
|---|---|---|
| Estimated Uber earnings | ~$700–$900 | ~$1,400–$1,800 |
| Car hire cost (Baraka) | $240 | $240 |
| Fuel (hybrid estimate) | ~$60–$80 | ~$120–$150 |
| Hybrid fuel saving vs petrol | ~$75–$100 saved | ~$150–$200 saved |
| Estimated net earnings | ~$380–$580 | ~$1,010–$1,410 |
These are estimates based on Melbourne market averages. Actual earnings vary depending on hours worked, location, platform demand, and individual driving patterns. These figures do not constitute a guarantee of income.
Most Baraka drivers report covering their $240 weekly hire fee within their first 2 to 3 driving shifts. The rest is profit.
Compared to a standard petrol car. This saving alone makes hybrid rental more financially smart than driving your own petrol vehicle.
AFL match days, concerts at Marvel Stadium, Melbourne Airport runs, Grand Prix weekends, Friday and Saturday nights in the CBD, and morning peak hours all deliver consistent surge pricing and high demand.
All vehicles meet current Uber eligibility standards in Victoria and are ready for Uber, DiDi, and Uber Eats from day one. Every vehicle is insured, registered, and maintained before you pick up the keys.

Based in Tarneit in Melbourne's western suburbs, Baraka serves drivers from every corner of the city. Whether you are based in the CBD, near the airport, in the south-east, or across Melbourne's growing outer suburbs, our Tarneit location is accessible and our approval process works for drivers across all of greater Melbourne.
CBD drivers benefit from consistent demand, short trips, and strong surge pricing during weekday peak hours and weekend nights on Chapel Street, Fitzroy, and Collingwood.
Airport corridor driving is among the most profitable in Melbourne — longer trips, higher fares, and consistent demand. Tullamarine, Essendon, and Airport West drivers do well here.
Our home base. Tarneit, Truganina, Werribee, Point Cook, Hoppers Crossing, and Wyndham Vale are all within minutes of our depot — pickup is fast and easy for western suburbs drivers.
Box Hill, Glen Waverley, Doncaster, and Ringwood offer strong weekday commuter demand. Eastern suburbs drivers typically earn well during school runs and corporate travel windows.
High-demand weekend nights, beachside event traffic, and proximity to the CBD make the southern corridor one of Melbourne's most active rideshare zones.
Craigieburn, Epping, Broadmeadows, and Melbourne's fast-growing northern suburbs generate strong rideshare demand from commuters and families without reliable public transport links.
Whether you are searching for weekly car rental Melbourne options or a dedicated rideshare rental, our single flat rate makes budgeting simple.

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 👍
