Become eligible for Uber Green trips and enjoy the benefits
Uber Green has just launched in Australia, allowing passengers to request a ride in a hybrid or electric car and currently for the same fare as a standard UberX ride. This can give Uber drivers who switch to an EV or hybrid car an advantage over drivers in petrol or diesel engine cars. For Sydney based drivers, making the switch to an EV with Splend could mean you’re eligible for an exclusive 50% Uber service fee reduction. Speak to our team today to see if you’re eligible.

Why car subscription is the better way to finance a car for rideshare drivers
Buying a car is one of the most significant purchases someone can make, especially for rideshare drivers, since it’s their workplace on wheels. While car finance is usually the first option rideshare drivers think of, there are various alternatives to consider when wanting to buy a car, including rent-to-own car subscriptions. This is a great choice for rideshare drivers who’re looking for a flexible, hassle-free, all-inclusive car purchase option.
