How to become a driver for Green Tomato Cars in London

Green Tomato Cars have put the environment first from day one, as rideshare platforms in London continue to push for lower carbon emissions. After launching in 2006, GTC was the first platform to offer rides in petrol-electric hybrid cars, and has since expanded to include various types of electric cars including hydrogen fuel cell cars.

Green Tomato Cars go above and beyond to minimise their carbon footprint by offsetting their emissions by 200%.

Helping the environment isn’t all that Green Tomato Cars does. They also offer market-leading fares during peak periods, so money goes into the pockets of their drivers. Additionally, GTC specialise in corporate clients which offers a different rider base to traditional rideshare platforms.

About Splend

At Splend, we believe in drivers. We know their vehicles need to work harder than most; that they drive more miles than most; that their insurance is hefty; their maintenance costs high and that they can face unreasonable finance rates – which is a heavy load to carry on their own.

That’s why at Splend, we exist to support rideshare drivers with a new model, that takes all those car ownership costs, and provides them for less, with lower purchase prices, better rates, lower servicing and insurance costs – all for one weekly repayment, all in one place.
