Meet Bhavin - the proud owner of the award-winning Volkswagen ID.3

Bhavin joined Splend over four years ago, making him one of our longest-serving customers. He joined us when he started his rideshare career and he’s recently made the switch to a Volkswagen ID.3 on our Flexi own plan

I discovered Splend back in 2018 and I decided to join as they had the best rates on the market for an all-inclusive plan. Their services over the last four years have been good, they helped me with any problem. I know I made the right decision.

The ID.3 was not the first EV Bhavin has driven but it’s by far his favourite.

I love the ID.3 because it’s so comfortable and makes you feel safe. The range is more than enough for my needs, and I get to save £200 per week on fuel.

Bhavin recommends making the switch to an EV and is confident that mastering  how to charge your EV shouldn’t be a barrier for drivers.

I’d definitely recommend the ID.3 to anyone. It’s so easy to drive and makes your job a real pleasure, even on the most restless days.

Bhavin continues to follow his dream of being a rideshare driver, despite overcoming a hearing impairment.

I think this job is the best one for me. I love driving and gaining more experience on the road as a rideshare driver. It helps me with my confidence towards driving and approaching riders, despite the communication limitations I sometimes face.

He believes that being cautious and focused at all times is what makes him a good driver.

I’ve been driving for 20 years, and even with this experience, you still have to be all eyes on the road. I always watch out for speed limits and traffic rules, and my strong vision helps me with that. 

About Splend

At Splend, we believe in drivers. We know their vehicles need to work harder than most; that they drive more miles than most; that their insurance is hefty; their maintenance costs high and that they can face unreasonable finance rates – which is a heavy load to carry on their own.

That’s why at Splend, we exist to support rideshare drivers with a new model, that takes all those car ownership costs, and provides them for less, with lower purchase prices, better rates, lower servicing and insurance costs – all for one weekly repayment, all in one place.
