My experience with Splend was not pleasant.

My experience with Splend was not pleasant.

Long waiting times and unhelpful service created an unfriendly atmosphere. Staff often came across as bossy and treated Uber drivers without respect.

Despite being quoted one price over the phone, I was charged additional fees in practice.

It is crucial for Splend to improve its customer service and ensure staff treat customers with professionalism and respect.

After this experience, I have no desire to deal with Splend again.

Hi Mohammed, we are sorry to see this review and apologies for the waiting period on the day you collected the car. we can understand you are not happy about being charged for the day you collected the car being in the afternoon and then dropping it off early 4 days later, As the car is in your possession , this is why those days where charged. You can also claim the days back from your insurance company. The email you received per day is what was quoted to you and charged.

Anish is very helpful and supportive

Anish is very helpful and supportive. I picked up a Toyota Camry today and he helped me a lot. Highly recommend to all the Uber drivers in Canberra to see him. He provides best service.

Unconscionable Conduct

#I hate Splend. Unconscionable Conduct. Avoid using Splend cars. A lot of their polices in dealing with clients appear to be in contradiction to, and outside of the legislation. They consider payments made after 00:00AM as late. You will incur a $36 late fee even though it is not technically one business day 24 hours late.

By 8:30AM they will activate a buzzer in your car which makes it inoperable as a rideshare vehicle, subsequently hindering your ability to earn, rendering the asset unfit for it’s intended purposes, use and enjoyment.

Splend is dismissive of complaints and condescending towards their customers.

Splend seem to think that if their legal counsel draws up their contracts, it’s legal and binding.

What’s also evident is that they have no idea on how to correctly operate their asset tracking software. They claim they deactivated the buzzing at 1:53 PM, but in actual fact was still active in the vehicle at 3PM.

Reports have been filed with the correct Government bodies and Australian Consumer advocates and Australian Consumer Law academics, to influence change and call parasitic companies to account.

If you’re reading this and have suffered at the hands of unscrupulous companies like this, stand up and fight. Get representation, go to the airports and other places where rideshare drivers congregate and band together. Start online forums to share your stories. Petition your local, state and federal members to act on your behalf!

If you do join use Splend, I would advise you to join the Transport workers Union and other advocacy groups. Keep detailed records of your transactions and dealings with them.

Hi David,

Thank you for your feedback.

At Splend, it is our policy that if a customer fails to pay their weekly subscription fee, a buzzer will be activated until payment is made or until an exception to pay at a later date is given by the collections department.

On investigating this matter, we can see that your payment was processed at 1:36pm and the beeping sound was subsequently turned off at 1:53pm. It is also important to note that the beeping sound is initiated for failed payments, not late payments which has been clearly communicated to you when you became a Splend customer, and we adhere to those terms in all situations excepting hardship.

If you would like to discuss anything further, please reach out to hello@splend.com.
