Splend customer benefits

Splend customer benefits for Uber drivers in 2024
At Splend, we’re committed to helping rideshare drivers succeed by providing a comprehensive support system that goes well beyond simply providing you with a vehicle through our Flexi Own or Flexi Try plans. Whether you're a long-time Uber driver or just starting your journey, our benefits are designed to ensure you're always on the road and earning when you want to be.
Here are the key benefits of being a Splend customer:
Free Uber-approved courtesy car
In the event of a breakdown or an accident where you were not at fault, Splend offers you a free Uber-approved courtesy car to keep you on the road. This ensures you won't lose any potential income while your vehicle is being repaired or replaced.
24/7 Roadside assistance
No need to worry if your vehicle breaks down during a shift - Splend has you covered with 24/7 roadside assistance. Simply call 1800 775 363, follow the prompts, and help will be on the way.
Loss and accident cover
Splend includes loss and accident cover as part of your weekly payment, giving you peace of mind that in case of an accident where you were not at fault, your vehicle and your livelihood are protected.
Annual payment holiday relief
We understand that even the most diligent drivers need a break. That’s why we offer annual payment holiday relief, giving you the opportunity to make a reduced weekly payment up to four weeks each year, so you have access to extra funds when you need it, such as Christmas or a family holiday.
Referral rewards
You could earn extra cash by referring other drivers to Splend. For each successful referral, you’ll receive $250, and there’s no limit to how many you can refer, so you can significantly boost your earnings.
If you know someone who’d like to start working with Uber, they will also get $50 off one of their weekly subscription payments, so it’s a win-win!
Servicing and maintenance
Splend manages the servicing and maintenance of your vehicle. It’s all included in your single weekly payment, meaning you can focus on driving while we ensure your car is kept in pristine condition, with no unexpected costs or downtime.
Flexi Own upgrade evaluation
As part of our Flexi Own plan, you are eligible for an upgrade evaluation, allowing you to explore newer vehicle models.
Splend's upgrade evaluation allows customers to use the equity they've built in their current vehicle to upgrade to a newer model partway through their Flexi Own plan. Unlike traditional financing, where customers might owe more than their vehicle is worth, Splend provides a clear path for upgrading without additional costs. When eligible, customers can start a new Flexi Own plan with a newer car, either at no extra cost or with a reduced term, depending on the equity they’ve accumulated, making it easier and more affordable to transition to a new vehicle.
Early ownership with excess kilometre contribution
Your agreement includes a 1000 km free weekly driving allowance. For every kilometre travelled in excess of that, you will be charged 10 cents, but this money goes towards paying your vehicle down, so the more kms you drive, the sooner you will own your vehicle.
Ongoing customer support
At Splend, we’re committed to supporting you every step of the way. Whether it’s face-to-face assistance at our hubs or 24/7 support via phone or email, our dedicated customer support team is here to help.
We also host driver education events and share the latest industry trends through our newsletters, helping you stay ahead of the game. From tips on maximising your earnings during peak times to exploring additional income opportunities like parcel or food deliveries, we provide the tools and insights you need to drive your success.
Latest rideshare product events and exclusive opportunities
Splend customers get access to exclusive events and rideshare product opportunities. From EV test drives to business workshops, and exclusive product launches, you’ll always be aware of the latest trends and innovations in the rideshare industry.
