:format(webp))
Uber Partner why do they need them? Uber doesn’t have its own fleet. Drivers use their own cars. But not everyone has a car that meets all of Uber’s 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.
