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.
What are the requirements for the Flexi Try plan?
You must be 23+; hold a current valid full Australian driving licence; be an approved rideshare driver on the Uber X platform. Vehicle eligibility may depend on professional driving history. If you are new to rideshare we can help guide you through the application process.
What do I do once I'm ready to upgrade to a Flexi Own Agreement? Do I need to pay the Flexi Own setup fee?
When you're ready to upgrade to a Flexi Own vehicle, contact Customer Support to choose a Flexi Own vehicle. A Flexi Own setup fee applies but is discounted by the Flexi Try setup fee already paid. When your new vehicle is ready, Splend will schedule delivery and the return of your Flexi Try car. You may also choose to convert the plan for your current Flexi Try vehicle to Flexi Own but paying the additional Flexi Own Ste up fee. Flexi Own offers similar inclusions to Flexi Try but offers a path to vehicle ownership.
What does the weekly Flexi Try plan fee cover?
In addition to the car, the Flexi Try plan covers your vehicle registration, rideshare loss and damage cover, scheduled servicing, replacement tyres and brakes (up to specified limits) and 24/7 roadside assistance.*
*Subject to terms and conditions in your agreement disclaimer
