Car Rental Mentone – Hybrid Cars for Private Use, Uber & DiDi
Weekly hybrid car rental in Mentone for personal hire, Uber, DiDi and rideshare drivers along Melbourne's bayside Frankston line corridor.
From $240/week · All-inclusive pricing
Picking Up from Mentone? Here's What to Expect
We're upfront about this — our depot is in Tarneit, not Mentone. From Mentone, the drive takes ~55 min via Nepean Highway to West Gate Freeway (M1). That's a real consideration, and we respect your time.
Here's why most Mentone 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 55 min drive to collect your vehicle.
Mentone Station on the Frankston line connects to the city loop and then to Tarneit Station. The drive via Nepean Highway to West Gate Freeway avoids most suburban streets.

What Mentone Drivers Tell Us
Most customers who rent from Mentone 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.
