More than just a car

Splend specialises in providing tailored products and services designed for PCO drivers. From the car research and ordering, to negotiating the great value rates, Splend handles it all, plus provides the best services to ensure your car is always on the road to keep you earning. Having the best PCO and automotive experts in one place at Splend makes Splend the ultimate PCO dealership!

Splend offers 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. If you aren’t too sure about which vehicle to select, our Flexi Try option lets you try out one of our vehicles first! Flexi Try gives you the peace of mind to do a real situational long term test drive with the ability to switch between available vehicles. This service supports you in making the right decision when you’re ready to upgrade to our ownership plans.

Whichever option you choose, Splend covers everything you need for hassle-free PCO driving, including PHV licence, PHV loss and damage cover, car tax and MOT, servicing, maintenance and more.

We understand that costs are a crucial factor for PCO drivers, which is why Splend offers transparent pricing and all-inclusive packages that aim to be cheaper than you would get organising the buying, financing and owning costs yourself. Why bother having to worry about negotiating with a dealership, determining the right finance, getting quotes for multiple damage and loss rates and then having to worry about getting the best price at each maintenance visit when Splend negotiates these rates for you.

Our weekly payments include all your car expenses such as PHV licence, loss and damage cover, servicing and maintenance. This is certainly more convenient than managing everything yourself. There's also a one-off signup fee to get started in securing and ordering your chosen vehicle.

We offer new-model fully electric cars (EV) on flexible ownership terms. All models are compliant with PCO driving and on-demand delivery regulations and come with a valid private hire vehicle (PHV) licence as well as fully comprehensive loss and damage cover and other ongoing costs like scheduled servicing and maintenance items like replacement tyres and brakes.

Check out our current vehicles available on Flexi Own here.

As part of your Flexi Own plan, we cover your scheduled servicing, brake and tyre normal wear replacement that is expected of travelling within the mileage limit*.

Any unfair wear and tear excess usage is not covered to keep our weekly prices as low as possible for our customers. Refer to a Splend representative to understand inclusions these on your contract. 

You must ensure your car is maintained to the manufacturer’s servicing schedule, which can be found online as well as the car’s log book in the glovebox. Each scheduled manufacturer’s service should be completed within 500 miles of being due. Your car will be off the road for up to one working day during this time.

Additionally, all Splend cars come with factory manufacturer’s warranty to cover the cost of most defects. To support the accurate diagnosis of any issue, customers are required to attend a manufacturers service outlet to demonstrate the fault. Splend will provide a replacement vehicle pending availability in the event of extended repair times due to part delays.

However, it’s our customers’ responsibility to cover all repairs not under warranty, including but not limited to punctures, panel damage, and all other non-wear-and-tear items.
