You drive slightly premium car as well? 
I do know that i cannot earn as much compare to those driving Axia or Bezza. Maintenance also more expensive

I don't understand how drivers calculate their nett earnings. When got full time job the calculation is basic salary less EPF & Socso; sometimes include travelling cost.
But with Grab/Uber it's total earnings less pertol spent including personal time, less food, less toll which the customers pay for, less maintenance.

Grab/Uber:
Weekly Earning: RM1500 (for 6 days work)
Less Food RM60 x 7 days = RM420
Less petrol RM50 x 7 days = RM350 (I only spend RM30 to 40 a day)
Less toll RM100 ( I usually spend about RM50)
Maintenance RM50 based on RM200 a month
Nett weekly earnings calculated = RM580 not counting maintenance yet.

So monthly looking like RM2320 only for 60-80 hours of work per week. This is what I call cock calculations.

Full time job:
Salary RM3500 (average income) less EPF and Socso maybe about RM3100. Petrol to travel to work RM200 a month. So, nett earning is RM2800 for 40 hours week.
Looks nicer right?
What happen to parking cost and personal driving time cost? What about food cost while at office? While we are discussing it, how about food at other times?
And 40 hours week? Really? How many of you clock out exactly after 8 hours everyday? Also, you never count in travelling time to and fro work. That's for the average person an added 2 hours a day or 10 hours a week. Even at 8 hours a day that is still 50 hours.
Real cal culations for Grab/Uber:
Weekly Earning: RM1500 (I touch RM1800 for 6 days work)
Less Food while working RM20 x 6 days = RM120
Less petrol RM40 x 6 days = RM240
Less toll RM0
Less average maintenance every 8 weeks RM40
Actual Nett earnings calculated = RM1100.
MONTHLY RM4400.
I only work 60-65 hours weekly. No travelling time to work. My car is my office. I can eat at various places around town without added travelling time for it. I can take 1 hour lunch or 5 hour lunch. It's up to me. I can take a day off on Sunday or Monday or Wednesday or any f@%king day I like.

Now you do the proper math. Every job has ups and down. If your job was so great why even look at Grab/Uber as a possible source of income?
I prefer if you stupid idiots don't join and then maybe both companies will keep our incentives high.

i would say same segment car
in the end it wasn't worth it
this is calculation based on present valuation/opportunity
bear in mind employment will always get promoted, depending on your performance. some companies do offer perks like lunch, allowances so on.
while driver..lolz what u can do is the incentive..if u get stupid incentive like 54 trips for rm90 habisla
and income will always drop when more drivers join

not saying its good or bad
i think uber is good for people who wants to find extra money while waiting, like those who just completed studies or on semester break
but please dont compare with full time job la, especially those recruiters..people have family one so dun play with others life

I posted this before and will post again.
Working in oil and gas industry, stop working, become grab teksi driver can earn same amount of income.

Bro, that is an advertisement. Working in Oil and Gas but at what level? Marketing bro. That's my field. I used to market a product that literally says "This will kill you but have one any way" and people buy by the container loads.

Working for Uber/Grab has it's pros and cons. Let's not lie to ourselves. In all honesty, this is a good income source, but not a career.

Did you actually watch the video? Stated welding inspector.
Grab video all using real driver. Not hire actors to fake a show.
So far got a few videos. Can check all videos on the official Grab FB page. Latest one is the famous Uncle Abu Talib.

700 is for Uber.
Grab is only 75.

Departure no teksi driver. If got also all will be dropping off passenger as well.
Some Uber/Grab driver will request passenger to wait and pick up at Departure as well because......read back the first sentence.

why u quote 2016 news?

Now it is on the way towards legalization

IMHO I think you better try doing other things than uber/grab, why worry about so many things while you haven't even started driving...

Just called uber said referral fee is ard rm200

Bro

Just want to know more b4 starting.

I have a full time job too. Wish to have a part time job too.

Principally I agree with everything you said. But your tone a little too aggressive la. Haha.

I don't know how each and everyone calculate. But I have been doing it full time for a year and a half d, every month I less my petrol and all I still nett about 6-7k. So am pretty happy with it.

Is it hard work? Yes

Is it tiring ? Yes.

But I don't know how a lot of them calculate until lunch money, , dinner money, insurance and all put in.

Every month I do 8k ish, 20% is petrol. 200 I save up for maintenance. That's all my cost. Car installment doing Uber or not still have to pay wan. So can't calculate it in.
