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.
