From $240/week · All-inclusive pricing
Picking Up from Box Hill? Here's What to Expect
We're upfront about this — our depot is in Tarneit, not Box Hill. From Box Hill, the drive takes ~48 min via Eastern Freeway (M3) to Western Ring Road (M80). That's a real consideration, and we respect your time.
Here's why most Box Hill 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 48 min drive to collect your vehicle.
If you prefer public transport, the Belgrave/Lilydale line runs from Box Hill Station directly to Tarneit Station — no car needed for the initial pickup.

What Box Hill Drivers Tell Us
