What is an Uber vehicle partner? [Complete explanation]
Uber doesn’t have its own fleet. Drivers use their own cars. But not everyone has a car that meets all the Uber vehicle requirements. That’s why Uber works together with local car providers to offer payment plans that suit an on-demand driver’s needs.
At Splend, we specialise in providing cars as well as dedicated support, so that our customers not only have an Uber-ready car, but all the means to be successful on the road from day one.
