Hi Guys,

Anyone here working with GrabCar/Uber? As heard, the return was quite good. I was thinking to try it out and work part time during the weekend.

Any comments?

Just forget those hooligan Taxi drivers.

I think you can join both.

But i heard most drivers prefer uber. I dunno much, u need to ask those uber drivers here.

is there still an issue on uber at grabcar services from spad??

i also wanna try out actually..

Me also want to try leh..

Yes. It is still illegal.

To make it legal. You need to apply license turn your car into a commercial passenger car.

Something like your insurance is now business type insurance. More expensive. Frequent car safety checks at don't know where. Etc etc. Then you are legal to use your car to fetch people.

It's not about uber is illegal. It's about the cars used are not properly following procedure .

Getting caught. You cannot renew road tax for your car ever again. At least that's what my memory serves.

I think when change into commercial passenger car, owner need to do puspakom yearly check-up

Insurance charges also higher

Uber will bank transfer money to you once a week. Its pretty viable source of income, my fren got rm900 a week. Just those spad nonsense only, the head pain.

Full time? Part time? How many trips he's doing? RM900/week is profit? Oledi deduct the petrol and etc??

Part time, as he has another full time job.

Trips- is depending on demand of your area, when you on the uber app.

Rm900 is income not profit. If you take 30-40% as cost, its sitll good money. And in his words, rm900 a week is considered a slow week. Lol

He's doing weekend only?? Is he doing Grabcar as well??

No not just weekend, nope, not doing grabcar at all.

When you see fresh grads with first class degrees happy to get jobs less than 2k. Uber is actually really good money for fellas who are in between hunting jobs or non-degree students. Lol.

Heard some uber drivers gang beat by taxi drivers.
Taxi driver pretend as customer calling uber driver and hit the driver when they arrive.

Better with Uber. the transaction is using credit card and no cash. SPAD target uber/grabcar that receive cash. as long as u not receive the cash, SPAD cannot do anything. Grabcar a bit risky, because they use cash money.

using Uber will get any receipt after u reach the place?
just ask if i can have the receipt, i can use Uber as my transport and claim from company.

Yes, u will receive the reciept via email.

If you're going to choose one, better not the other. It's not like taxi drivers, also choose myteksi. Cause if ambassadors or even worse Uber people find out its not good, for you. Riders win win either way

Team Uber since 2013

Thats not the only reason Uber drivers get caught. In fact it's almost impossible for an Uber deliver to collect cash. Even if he did do one ( off record) as soon as he gets another request he has to get on it.

not really worth it with the new incentive unless you do full time...
everything is getting worse... =(

My friend do grabcar, $2800 per week and tgif bonus $200. Got bonus and non bonus hours.

Ya lor. They have change the incentive. More likely uber driver number will be decrease and go to grabcar.

Nice one. Taking cash is the risk bro. I afraid to try grabcar.

Grab at is giving a lot now compare to Uber, minimum fare is RM7 if I'm not mistaken and bonus is quite good. My friend recieve offer complete 20 trip and get RM400

My friend who loves to drive around, former MAS engineer, quit his job to become a fulltime uber driver, aged 38 (if im not mistaken). He changed his E60 year 2012 status to commercial car. Quite expensive roadtax and insurance but he manage to get 3k-4k per week. Very active in kl-selangor-n9-melaka area. Really talked so much so the passenger will feel like spending time with a family member, ermm sometime the passenger will ask his permission to get some rest (I think they get annoyed with him and find a good reason which is sleep / nap). Easy for him baa since he's a single father. 2 kids with parents.

Kinda interested to do this but it's risky

Just saw the news. Sigh. If kena caught then teruk. But if we convert to commercial vehicle, is it expensive and worth it if we just do part time??

anyone sign up with their ambassodor program? they really wants to monopoly the ride hailing service? if you sign up and you drive uber, can they really catch you?

Grab unable to log in your Uber account.
You try log in your Uber account via your laptop or tablet (those device never use to log in your Uber account before) and see.

Just checking, since Malaysia has legalized uber and grab and more ppl have move on to this business, do you guys still earn the same amoust as before.

For a fulltime uber/grab driver how much did you earn every month, including patrol and maintenance?

very grey area, especially grab a local setup. tons and mountains of complaints unanswered.

It's not legal nor illegal yet. Grey area at the moment.

2k per week not including of petrol and maintenance because this is vehicle dependant. This is on Grab economy.

Bro u r saying used a different device to install the uber apps account? and different phone number?

yup.
