Weekly hybrid car rental in Burwood VIC — near Deakin University — from $240/week with pickup from our Tarneit depot.
From $240/week · All-inclusive pricing
Picking Up from Burwood? Here's What to Expect
We're upfront about this — our depot is in Tarneit, not Burwood. From Burwood, the drive takes ~45 min via Monash Freeway (M1) to Western Ring Road (M80). That's a real consideration, and we respect your time.
Here's why most Burwood 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 45 min drive to collect your vehicle.
From Burwood, take the Monash Freeway west to the Western Ring Road. The route is almost entirely freeway with predictable travel times outside peak hours.
