From $240/week · All-inclusive pricing
Picking Up from Blackburn? Here's What to Expect
We're upfront about this — our depot is in Tarneit, not Blackburn. From Blackburn, the drive takes ~50 min via Maroondah Highway to Eastern Freeway (M3). That's a real consideration, and we respect your time.
Here's why most Blackburn customers still choose Baraka: with weekly rentals, you only make the trip once. After that, the car stays with you — no daily pickups, no branch visits. One trip out, and you're driving for the rest of the week.
At $240/week for a hybrid Toyota with insurance, servicing, unlimited km and no lock-in contract, the savings over local competitors and car ownership typically outweigh one 50 min drive to collect your vehicle.
Blackburn Station on the Belgrave line connects through to Tarneit Station via the city loop. The freeway route via Maroondah Highway and Eastern Freeway is also straightforward.

What Blackburn Drivers Tell Us
Most customers who rent from Blackburn are weekly renters — either driving for Uber and DiDi or using the car for personal commuting. They make one trip to Tarneit, collect the vehicle, and don't need to visit us again until the rental ends or they want to swap cars.
If you prefer public transport for the initial trip, you can take the train to Tarneit Station — our depot at 16 Ishtar Street is a short walk from there. Call us on 0461 555 511 and we'll coordinate your arrival.
