Uber Australia is proud to announce that we are deepening our commitment to electric vehicle adoption, as part of our global vision to make Uber a zero emissions platform by 2040.
To help steer this initiative, we have partnered with Splend to bring 500 premium Polestar 2 and Tesla Model Y electric vehicles to the platform, exclusive to eligible Uber driver-partners in Sydney via Splend’s rent-to-own program.
What is Uber and Splend’s rent-to-own program?
From the 11th of October 2022, eligible driver-partners in Sydney can rent-to-own a brand-new premium electric vehicle Polestar 2 and get a 50% reduction in service fee up to $6,000 per financial year as an extension of Uber’s EV program.
Eligible driver-partners can sign up to rent to own a Polestar 2 for $550 per week. $100/week lower than the retail price thanks to NSW State Govt Funding. Splend can also facilitate the trade-in of your existing vehicle, enabling you to upgrade seamlessly to a brand-new Polestar 2 on a Flexi own plan.

What about my existing car?
Splend can facilitate the trade-in of your existing vehicle, inclusive of a free valuation. This enables you to upgrade seamlessly to a brand-new Polestar 2 on a Flexi own plan.
How about charging?
With a single-charge battery range of 478 (Short Range Polestar2) - 551km (Long Range Polestar 2), you can use a combination of public and at-home charging to keep your EV powered up at all times.
NSW leads the way in Australia for public charging stations, which are available across the state - often free of charge. Read more on public charging here.
Through Splend, you can also charge at home for as little as $33/month (plus installation).
