Splend is designed specifically for PCO drivers, offering two flexible vehicle plans to suit your needs.

Our flagship plan, Flexi Own, allows you to work towards car ownership while benefiting from all the inclusions necessary for a hassle-free experience. Each payment you make goes towards paying off your car, and once you make your final payment, ownership is transferred to you.

If you prefer to test the water to see if being a PCO driver is for you, to test out a new car, or need a short-term solution, Flexi Try enables you to try before you buy, Flexi Try comes with all the on-road inclusions of Flexi Own, except you don’t own your car at the end.

Whichever option you choose, Splend covers everything, including insurance, PHV licence, car tax and MOT, servicing, and maintenance items.

We understand that costs are a crucial factor for PCO drivers, which is why Splend offers transparent pricing and all-inclusive packages that are cheaper than shouldering the buying, financing and owning costs yourself. Our weekly payments include all your car ownership expenses such as car tax and MOT, servicing, maintenance and damage and loss cover, and are typically much cheaper (and certainly more convenient) than managing everything yourself. There's also a one-off establishment fee to get started. If you exceed your weekly mileage limit, additional charges apply, but these charges go towards paying off your vehicle earlier.

Getting started with Splend is very easy and straightforward. First, fill in the enquiry form on our website. Then, one of our team members will contact you to understand your needs and help you choose the perfect car for your rideshare business. You’ll then be invited to book an appointment at one of our hubs, where you can test drive the car and finalise the sign-up process. Remember, you'll need to be signed up on the Uber platform to enjoy Splend's great plans but we can help you with that too if you're not yet an Uber driver. Once that’s done, you can pick up your car and start enjoying hassle-free driving.

Splend offers a wide range of Electric Vehicles (EVS) suitable for PCO driving. We’ll help you find the right car for your circumstances, considering not only the cost but also the potential earnings based on the different Uber categories you’d qualify for. Whether you’re after a new or used EV or looking to maximise your earnings in one of Uber’s premium categories, we’ve got you covered.
