Splend provides a subscription-based car plan designed specifically for Uber and other rideshare drivers in Australia. Drivers sign a subscription agreement, not a finance or loan contract.
You pay a single weekly subscription fee that covers:
A) Vehicle access (rideshare-ready car)
B) Registration, CTP, Rideshare licence/inspections, Scheduled servicing, and replacement tyres and brakes due to wear
C) Rideshare-specific loss and damage cover (for Flexi Own contracts from 1 October 2025 you can opt instead to obtain your own eligible Rideshare insurance should you wish)
Splend offers two flexible vehicle plans to suit your needs:
Flexi Own – work towards ownership while benefiting from all inclusions.
Flexi Try – try before you buy, ideal for testing rideshare or EVs.
*Subject to the terms of your Flexi Own/Flexi Try agreement. Servicing and maintenance subject to applicable caps. Additional fees may apply.
