Uber car rental Melbourne made simple — Uber & DiDi approved Toyota hybrid vehicles from $240/week. Flexible weekly rentals, unlimited kilometres, and same-day pickup subject to availability across Melbourne.
Most car rental companies in Melbourne weren’t designed for rideshare drivers. They charge per kilometre, add conditions that limit your driving, and can leave you with a vehicle that eats into your weekly profit.
Baraka Car Rentals is different. Every vehicle we rent is a Toyota hybrid, approved for Uber and DiDi, with unlimited kilometres, comprehensive insurance, and roadside assistance — all for one flat weekly rate. It's one of the simplest ways to rent a car for rideshare work without the usual conditions and hidden charges. It's a simple way to rent a car for Uber or hire a car for Uber without buying a vehicle outright.
We’re based in Tarneit and help Melbourne drivers get on the road quickly, with same-day pickup available subject to vehicle availability.
Whether you're new to rideshare driving or you've been driving for years, our fleet is built around the cars Melbourne drivers actually want. Start in a Corolla Hybrid, then upgrade to a Camry, RAV4 or Kluger Hybrid once you want to access Comfort or XL fares.

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 👍
A question every new Melbourne driver asks. Here’s an honest comparison.
| Criteria | Uber | DiDi |
|---|---|---|
| Commission rate | 25–27.5% | 15–20% |
| Trip demand | Very high — largest rider base | Growing — strong in west & north |
| Driver bonuses | Quest bonuses, surge pricing | Flat bonuses, peak-hour incentives |
| Typical peak earnings | $25–$45/hr | $22–$40/hr |
| Delivery option | Uber Eats integrated | No built-in delivery |
| Best vehicle | Camry Hybrid, Kluger XL | Corolla Hybrid, Camry Hybrid |
The real answer: drive both. Most experienced Melbourne drivers run Uber and DiDi simultaneously — accepting whichever trip comes first. Baraka vehicles are suitable for both platforms, so you do not have to choose one and leave money on the table.
Not every rideshare tier pays the same. Choosing the right vehicle can change your weekly earning potential.
| Tier | Typical Vehicle | Seat Count | Eligibility Notes | Typical Fare Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UberX | Corolla / Camry | 4 passengers | Standard rideshare entry tier | Most affordable option for riders |
| Comfort | Camry / RAV4 | 4 passengers | Newer vehicle, extra legroom | Higher per-trip fares than UberX |
| XL | RAV4 / Kluger | 5–6 passengers | 7-seat capacity required | Highest per-trip fares of the three tiers |
Start with UberX, then level up. Most new Melbourne drivers begin with the Corolla Hybrid to learn the city and build their rating. Once you're comfortable, a Camry or Kluger can open higher-paying tiers.
Based in Tarneit — serving rideshare drivers from every corner of Melbourne, whether you're after the cheapest rideshare car rental in Werribee, Point Cook, Truganina, or anywhere across the western suburbs.
