A smart plug-in hybrid SUV built for drivers who want electric efficiency for everyday PCO driving, petrol backup for longer days, and the flexibility to keep moving without compromise.

For PCO drivers, time off the road means lost earnings. The BYD SEAL U DM-i Boost is designed to keep you driving longer with an impressive up to 671-mile combined range.
That means fewer fuel stops, fewer charging interruptions, and more time completing trips during busy periods.
Get on the pathway to ownership in the BYD SEAL U DM-i Boost on our Flexi Own Plan where one weekly payment pays down your car, as well as covering your ongoing ownership costs (such as damages and loss cover, registration, service and ongoing maintenance).
Choose the term that works best for you. Our 4 and 5 year plans require a £499 setup fee to secure your vehicle, with a minimum term of 6 months for 4-year plans and 12 months for 5-year plans.

Splend makes car ownership easier, more affordable and more accessible for PCO drivers by building everything they need to earn more, pay less and stress less into one affordable weekly payment.
Your weekly payment not only covers the cost of the car (think about this as what you would pay a finance company to pay off a car you bought and financed the ordinary way) but also covers all the essential ongoing costs associated with owning and operating a PCO car. These include: Road Tax, MOT, PHV licence, PHV damage and loss cover, scheduled servicing, ongoing maintenance items (like replacement tyres and brakes), 24/7 roadside assistance, access to an PCO-approved courtesy car if your car is damaged in an accident or needs to be repaired due to a warranty issue, plus other exclusive Splend driver benefits.
Our Flexi Own program is designed for drivers that want to own their own vehicle. We understand that circumstances can sometimes change, so with Flexi Own we allow drivers to return their vehicle after a minimum period of time is this is the case.
We have a 26-week minimum term (for 4 year plans) and a 52-week minimum term (for 5 year plans), with 2 weeks’ notice required to end the agreement after this minimum term ends.
*Note that if the car is returned inside the minimum period, there is a minimum period charge payable (refer below).
For those customers who would like to upgrade/change their vehicle and remain a Splend customer, they can enquire with their Splend representative once they have reached at least 50% of their ownership term.
We typically charge a £19 late payment fee for any missed payments. If you think you’ll miss a payment, please call and ask to speak with our payments team. We’ll work with you to try and come up with alternative payment terms. If you are unable to settle a missed payment, your agreement may be terminated and any charges will be billed (including minimum period).
Your Flexi Own weekly payment includes a capped weekly driving allowance - please refer to your agreement or check with our customer support team. We charge a 20p per mile early ownership fee for any excess mileage, which brings forward the finish date of your agreement. In other words, the more you drive, the sooner you gain full ownership of the car.
You can reduce the length of your 4-year Flexi Own term this way by a maximum of 52 weeks, so the earliest you can own your car on a Flexi Own plan for a new car is 3 years (our pre-owned vehicles can be owned sooner as the mileage/age of the car is taken into account in the initial term calculation).
In order to return your car, you must give notice – in writing – as required under your subscription agreement to your Customer support representative.
If you need to return your car within the minimum period, you'll need to pay a Depreciation and remarketing fee, and a usage fee for the miles you have driven. The notice period in your contract still applies.
With an electric vehicle, you're eligible for the Uber Electric category, which is specifically for low-emission and electric vehicles. You may also be eligible for premium categories like Uber Comfort, Uber Executive or Uber XL, depending on your vehicle type.
Modern EVs typically offer a range of up to 300 miles on a single charge. This is usually more than enough to cover daily travel for most drivers. If you're a rideshare driver, you can plan your charging stops based on your driving patterns. The UK has a vast and growing network of rapid charging stations, making it easy to top up during the day, if required. Many drivers opt to do this while they are stopping for a meal or rest break.
