What We Do
Splend provides eco-friendly and affordable cars to on-demand drivers, so they can focus on earning an income. For over seven years, we’ve been helping drivers earn more, improve their ratings, and enjoy their jobs. How do we do that? By offering an unrivalled level of support for our customers. We’re more than a car supplier. We provide resources and a community for drivers wanting to be their best. From dedicated support to advanced training and rewards, we help our customers take control of their careers with our flexible plans. Splend was founded in Sydney in 2015. As on-demand driving became part of modern society, we expanded to nine cities across Australia, the Americas, and Europe, and grew our global team to over 150 employees. We’ve helped students, retirees, former refugees, and single parents find work they love, which fits their lifestyle. We take pride in everything our members and teams achieved so far, and we’re only just getting started.
