Santander and Uber launch €1 billion European fleet financing program

Banco Santander and Uber Technologies have signed a three‑year financing agreement that can provide up to €1 billion to professional Uber fleet operators across Europe. The programme targets key markets such as Spain, Germany and Italy, offering flexible funding for vehicle renewal, expansion and modernisation. It is also positioned to prepare operators for future autonomous‑vehicle integration.

Ana Botín, Executive Chair of Santander, said the collaboration will "support growth and service quality at scale," while Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi noted the deal will help partners "renew and upgrade their vehicles, operate more efficiently, and continue meeting strong rider demand."
