We provide unprecedented levels of support and training, to help our members make the most of their time on the road.

All that, plus the chance to connect with other drivers and be part of a growing community, making driving a more sustainable way of earning an income. Splend has enabled students, retirees, former refugees and single parents to find work they enjoy, and that fits their lifestyle. Equally, we’ve provided exciting opportunities for first-time buyers to own a brand new car. We couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved so far, and we’re only just getting started.
