10 Ways To Make More Money As A Grab Driver!

1. Automatically Accept A Bigger Cut!

Grab takes a 25% commission, leaving you with 75% from every ride. Did you know you can increase your cut to 80% from every ride, just by turning on the Auto Accept feature?

Auto Accept also makes it easier and faster for you to get the next ride, ahead of your competitors. That means you get to earn more, and earn faster!

2. Grab A “Per Minute Fare”!

Grab is introducing a NEW fare component soon! It is designed to ensure that you won’t “lose out” spending a longer time to pick up a ride.

In the past, a 10 KM trip that takes 20 minutes to complete will ear you the same fare as a 10 KM trip that takes 40 minutes to complete.

To fairly compensate their drivers, Grab will now calculate the fares based on both the estimated distance, and the estimated trip time as well. This way, you will get paid for every minute you spend on the road!

You should take advantage of the new Per Minute Fare to earn more money. Just turn on Auto Accept, and take on every ride! Take a look at the revised fare structure for JustGrab and GrabCar in Klang Valley :

3. Get A Time Booster!

Wahhhh!!! Did you know that Grab is not only changing their previous Fare per KM to Fare per Minute, they are also introducing a Time Booster bonus!

Grab drivers will now receive a guaranteed fare per minute during peak hours. If their trip fare does not meet this guarantee, they will receive a Time Booster bonus to make up the difference!

Grab Time Booster example

For example, if the guarantee is RM 0.55 per minute, and you only manage to earn RM 16 after driving for 40 minutes (RM 0.40 per minute), Grab will top up the difference (RM 6) so you will always earn the guaranteed minimum fare per minute!

The Grab top-up will appear as a Time Booster bonus on your job card. Isn’t this great? Now even the worst traffic jam won’t bother you!

4. Embrace Cancellations!

Many drivers are also afraid of picking up rides from further away, because they’re afraid that the passenger may cancel the ride, or just won’t show up… wasting their time, petrol and effort.

There is NO NEED to worry, because Grab will compensate you whenever your passenger cancels the trip! So let them cancel because you get compensated anyway!

5. Refer A Friend & Get Paid!

6. Get Paid Without Driving An Extra Mile!
