Great service, great staff, great PCO cars. I recently switched my account from a Flexi subscription to Flexi own and I’ve got a brand new 2019 Toyota Corolla.
Best PCO car provider in London. Amazing deals and value for money. My account manager is so helpful and polite. Guys please look no further or go to other companies.
Responsive and competent staff. Used their services for around a year now and have had no issues. Straightforward company to deal with and professional approach. Recommended.
Great friendly service and good quality PCO cars. Recommended.
A perfect company with a perfect team. A 5 star company.
Splend is a very good company and the team is very helpful too. The PCO cars they have are excellent. Highly recommend them!
Best I have ever seen in PCO car rental companies.
Driving an electric car for Uber, Bolt or any rideshare company means you’ll no longer need to fill up the tank. It is estimated that if you drive 700 miles per week, an electric vehicle could save you £30 per week compared to a petrol hybrid.
Rideshare platforms such as Bolt and Uber offer incentives to EV drivers to help them upgrade to a sustainable ride. Speak to our team to find if you’re eligible for these incentives and how they work.
If you drive an EV car, you’ll be able to save money from day one being exempt from the £15 daily Congestion Charge in Central London. That’s a possible weekly saving of up to £105!
