The flex to try before you buy

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.

Late-model Rideshare-ready vehicles, including a range of Electric Vehicles (EVs), Hybrid vehicles, as well as selected Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles. Vehicles are available that are suitable for Uber categories like Uber Max, Uber XL, Uber Comfort Electric, Uber Comfort or Uber Green*. Splend can recommend models right for you based on cost and earning potential. If you want to own, Flexi Own offers similar inclusions plus a road to ownership at term end.

_{*Uber eligibility correct as at the date of publishing. Vehicle eligibility may change and is determined by Uber. Customers are responsible for confirming their eligibility directly with Uber.}

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.

Flexi Try startup costs include:

1. A one‑time setup fee (non‑refundable, not a deposit);

2. A pro‑rata payment for your weekly payment for the rest of the week of collection (up to Sunday);

3. A first full week billed in advance for the next week.

Your Agreement with Splend will contain the full details

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.*
