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 certain Flexi Own contracts from 1 October 2025 you can opt instead to obtain your own eligible Rideshare insurance should you wish) with optional replacement vehicle provision.

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.}

_{^ Some of our vehicles will be available without servicing and other consumables, for a lower weekly subscription. Speak to one of our friendly staff for further details.}
