after promo. will u use gc or uber?
id suggest:
- short distance go uber
- long distance go gc.

but if ure the type that dont care bout the $$
then id say go for GC. as in 5km radius, typically ull have min 20 gc drivers waiting for rider
as for uber, its less than 10 drivers.

did u get cancellation (not during the promo period) upon you req for gc?
most gc driver tends to take cash instead of grabpay.

i dont camp that much.
i prefer to just go with the flow.
as i mention earlier, it depends on your area. where are u located?

does this formula work for penang island also

GC extended their promo for 4 more days..until Sunday.

I always compare uber and grabcar price when i want to travel. So u have to use gut feeling for uber though. Basically if you think uber is cheaper on that ride than take uber.

But in the end if no drivers for uber i have to take grabcar, and if i want to take grabcar but no grabcar takers then i just hailed uber. No matter what. And no taxis for me, unless no uber or grabcar. So no choice.

Personally with all the promo from gc, gc is cheaper i believe for me, just for the 5km radius. However i know if u are lucky, uber can be much cheaper than gc. And another rule of mine, i wont take uber if there is a surge. Only did once 1.4x i believe. Coz i dont have the gc app yet last time.

I have more cancellation on uber rather than gc. Gc hard to get cancellation because the driver knows in advance where i am going, so if they dont want to take me, they just dont take me.

Depends on the cash thing. I have heard stories where people who pay cash, dunt have enuff money and the driver cannot do anything. So personally, if i am the driver, i prefer credit card. And as a customer, i prefer paying by credit card.

And as a person uses this service everyday, i have heard a lot of horror stories from both uber and grabcar drivers. There was one story where a customer shit in the car coz cannot tahan. It was at night time. The customer ask for a plastic bag and shit in it. Crazy!

I always like to interview the drivers on their experience...i mean maybe i want to be an uber or grabcar driver in d future. Who knows.

Tier 1


Tier 2



if cannot get RM70 for 3 hours, then have to drive longer in a week to get Peak Hour Guarantee Tier 1. Else just enjoy the Tier 2.

Just a simple calculation if I drive on following time.
Weekday 6pm to 9pm
Weekend 4pm to 7pm

-------
Tier 1
-------
(RM 22 + 22 + 16) x 5 days = 300 (Weekdays)
(RM 22 + 22 + 22) = 66 (Sat)
(RM 16 + 16 + 16) = 48 (Sun)

Total = 414
After Uber fee (25%) = 310.50

Hourly Income = 14.80/hr


-------
Tier 2
-------
(RM 18 + 18 + 16) x 5 days = 260 (Weekdays)
(RM 18 + 18 + 18) = 54 (Sat)
(RM 16 + 16 + 16) = 48 (Sun)

Total = 362
After Uber fee (25%) = 271.50

Hourly Income = 12.90/hr


If I work 30 days/month, 3 hours per day and lucky enough to get Tier 1.
Monthly income = 14.80 x 3 hours x 30 days = 1,332

Before car petrol, car maintenance, wear and tear. This is subjective depends on your car model and age.

For my Proton, estimate 400 for petrol, 100 for maintenance. Left RM832 only.


Guys, can share your earnings (may be in hourly income) for newbie reference?

What really??? Sorry to say all u uber drivers, u have to wait for another 4 days for me to be ur customer again.

no idea bro .
soz cant help.

hopefully u wont encounter any bad gc driver tho.

So far gc and uber drivers are alright. I think the rating system for both companies works to dicipline the drivers.

I have signed up for Grab also..but then I always hesitate because of the cash thing.

Too lazy to go change my money :/

oi. why never use my reference. -.-
else i can ajar u lor all the gc tricks ;P

i registered before u gave me la LOL!!!!

teach me la sensei xD

dunwan. no reference incentive. no tips.
hahaha

kedekut

Please take note that the Hourly Guarantee incentive is on weekly basis.
You may need to achieve average RM71.43 per day for that particular week to potentially entitle for the Tier 1 rate.
However, to achieve RM71.43 gross fare within core area in 3 hours is possible but not practical (depending on luck).

By the way, with or without tier 1 GH incentive. Average hourly income is definitely more than RM14.80.

As per TS ieian81 stated, just treat the GH incentive as a bonus instead of purposely achieve it.
