Picking Up from Caulfield? Here's What to Expect
We're upfront about this — our depot is in Tarneit, not Caulfield. From Caulfield, the drive takes ~45 min via Monash Freeway (M1) to West Gate Freeway (M1). That's a real consideration, and we respect your time.
Here's why most Caulfield 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.
Caulfield is a major train interchange — multiple lines connect through to Tarneit Station via the city loop. The drive via Monash Freeway and West Gate Freeway is direct.
