Many of my friends ask me about this.
Are you looking to be a part time uber or grab?
Which one will be the best for you. Can anyone give an opinion

Grab more money no choice. Uber charity

It depends on what you want though

More money? Grab it is.

More security? Uber it is.

grab more money? tell me more please

why grab is more money?

Why uber is charity? ><
if charity nobody wan do leh..

anyone have code for first time user? i already registered my grabcar.

registered as user or driver?

I'm a real time driver. This is base on experience.
Current situation:

Grab - earns you more definitely.
Uber - driving for charity.

Here is an example:
Mr Awesome is a fat boy. He wanted to go to 7-11 to buy maggie to eat. He order Uber, ask the driver to come pick him up at the condo, Block C. When the driver reach below, and call him, then only he get down. The 7-11 is actually only 200 meter away. Fare is RM1.20. He paid RM2 and tell the driver keep the change. He is happy.

Mr Ahmad is the driver. When he received the ping, he was 5km away. He need to drive all the way and register to enter the condo and get RM2 (with tips some more) only in the end. And need to deduct 25% Uber fees.


So you tell me. In your opinion, Mr Ahmad is actually earning or doing charity?

grab. seriously.

Grab can choose your passenger. Which mean some passenger request (eg from LRT to home ~ 2km), you can either accept or reject.

Uber, only when you pickup your passenger, Uber will reveal passenger destination.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Btw Uber driver told me that, short & mid range take uber, mid and long range take grab.

THIS

Not really.
Uber and Grab all sort of range.

I'm also a rider. Short range I will use Grab. Because I do not want to 'cheat' the driver. only willing driver will accept.

Long range I will use Uber because generally it is cheaper fare.

You meant full time driver?
So you drive for both? If so which you earn better?

Grab.
no longer driving Uber.

May I ask what's the average perhour can you make?

Above RM40+ per hour (before minus Grab commission). If after deducting 20% Grab money, it is RM30+ per hour.

Seriously? I drive for Uber I get rm20/hr average.

How much when you drive for Uber?

used to be rm30+ for Uber as well (with incentive). but now no longer with incentive. so no longer drive Uber.

I'm a student so I work part-time for Grab, just have more mony to use and I don't have enough time to work fulltime

I used to drive for Uber, now I drive for Grabcar.
Grabcar offer than Uber. Driver's will know this. If you registered both.

Sometimes Grab no ping coming in, switch to Uber...

i prefer Grab. easy and jus make sure u get incentives and be happy.
even most of rider mcm...

both can register online? uber i did try register but fail because the car is not under my name..

Seems like Grab is winning alot of shares.

If Uber pulls off from Malaysia, thats it. Grab may cut incentives because no competitors driver dont have other platform to pick, may even raise fare price to passenger cause no competition.

just my 2 cents

I did charity for an hour from 3pm aroundt Bukiit Bintang area.
Actually two of these trips are set toward my own destination (Kajang).
But the trips Uber matched were not really toward my destination de,😥

I am think to do grab should get axia or myvi for a start and if rent a car is worth it ? What is requirements once I do grab do need pay anything first before I start?

grab can earn more my friend say~ he tried both grab & uber~ most ppl use Grab instead

Myvi all the way.

Dont rent car. Own your car better.

You just need 2 buy more top up in the beginning and make sure maintain balance RM15. Lower then no ping and no job come out.

Haha same

From foreign workers 2 expats all kaki GRAB

Especially FW they willing 2 pay 4 the RM40-RM50 long distance trip

Is it woth to buy a car and loan while doing grab and can I pay up the loan on time and early ?

worth it or not depends on hardworking u going to be doing grab and need to be really commited since you are doing it to repay the loan~

If you can drive 12-12 then i dont see as a real problem

Yeah but the car also need rest lol. Later break down

Grab's okay when you're not stuck in the jam but Uber takes 5% extra and charges by the time.

Haha then better buy 2nd hand with cash

if want to do full time register for both and drive full swing ...use existing car if eligible otherwise buy bezza no need costly cars...

if want to do part time...don't buy any car just to do grab / uber...make sure got existing eligible car...

for now grab better
as reminder..uber/grab can change fare/incentive/commission structure anytime..also think about accont suspended/terminated.
buy car need long term commitment..if u buy then drive seriously, jaga AR/rating..make sure car clean & not smelly

Grab is definitely better for part timer and also full timer.
Unless you are airport trip chaser, then you will probably need both Grab and Uber to sustain. If not just Grab is enough.

I drive full time time both...seriously grab requests are way too low in sban n nilai...uber requests in these 2 areas is overwelming...

But uber trip fares are peanuts...you will not make reasonable profits unless u hit their incentives/quests/ph.

Grab fares are reasonable n IF requests are plenty then you can make reasonable profit driving long term

But in uber after you continuosly hit their all their quests they will reduce the quest amount or increase the trip requirement and it would become less attractive thereafter.

So in summary these companies are out to only make the 20 to 25% from your trips and are not concerned with your well being , safety , retirement , family.

The moment you quit or they ban you... they are not interested in you anymore as they keep recruiting new drivers on daily basis. There are plenty of test mules for them . So if you are having a full time job never quit it for driving this full time as you will regret later. You just cannot be very long in this unless you do part time.

To save their face some drivers dont tell you what they feel deep in their hearts...

Just my 2 cents n any1 is welcomed to disagree as this is entirely from my point of view

+100
Totally agree.

Haha i do full time because my factory finally closed shop and so do this full time because manufacturing line is not 4 me😄😄😃😃

i too am doing this full time bcos got retrenched...i applied for close to 90 jobs past 3 months n yet to get a proper job with reasonable distance & salary...

Haha good luck brah👏👏

Seremban is crowded with grab driver... 1hour plus only 1 short ride... Wasting time...

no round in klang valley ke?

Too far

U can find some customer that need to go working at KL everyday, if u can get 3 ppls like this, then go to KL and back to seremban sure can cover.

U do a proper survey how much the transport fee and parking fee they need to pay if they drive their own car,

so if they ride your car, they can save a lot energy, time, and money.

The first person is my wife

good ehh, if u already get 1st person, then u will get the 2nd person. But your wife u cannot collect fee from her.
just keep this target in your mind if u really want.
I know there is some ppl came to KL for working everyday from my ex.
She have a colleague doing like that.

interesting story brah

It depends..
uber earns alot when it comes to traffic jem(its bases on km&minutes)..
Grab has guarantee hourly for the drivers..and grab can see where are the riders going to..
Im a full time grab in kota kinabalu

kuching situation:

uber: a lot of far away pings mostly (10-15mins). then destination dekat2 je.. (common situation)

grab: on a good day, even can hit 5 pings per hour. sometimes non stop until wanna go out from car to pee also tak sempat. on average is 1-2 pings per hour. play with incentives. good money.

i prefer grab also

this is true...once i had to wait 3 solid hours to get a trip...it would be pure luck if i can a trip within an hour of waiting...
actually unlike uber ...grab does not practice queue system when it comes to trip allocation...

for grab the nearest driver to the rider or the driver who is coming to drop off will get the ping..
in uber the driver who is coming to drop off or secondly the one who entered the area first or only lastly the nearest one will get the ping if the other 2 are not available or reject the ping

so in uber it doesnt really matter where you are positioned while waiting...the rider can even stand next to you and request a ride but you may not get it
in grab it all matters where you are positioned...the nearest to the ktm or the bus station or mall will first get the ping even if he just came to that place and there are 10 more drivers waiting 2 hours nearby there

I can do 6 per hour in UTM😄😄👍👍

Too bad still have not tried on HP UP block

bro, you do full time or part time?
I am considering full time but not sure if it is worth it to quit my day job

part time only

You may try do full time for grab

I am wondering what is the estimated earnings if doing full time say Monday to Friday in Kuching.

No more incentive given by Uber and petrol keep on increasing. Do you think you still can drive ?

I just migrated to Grab after doing charity for Uber and totally disappointed on their system.

I cannot choose my rider and If I were not accept the Job, this will affect my AR.

And in worst case, where I am the only Uber driver driving in one large area and have to travel to ~ 20 Minutes away location just to pickup one customer that is traveling for 1-2 KM.

And the Uber incentive system is totally failed compared to Grab.

Totally wasted on Petrol and somemore received some bad rating.

Great. I'm thinking to drive on weekends, can you make RM250 per day after deducting petrol and tolls?

hi all sifu
is that Part-time grab driver have incentives ?

By forumers
1. Flexi tends to gross RM25 per hour on average.
2. HG players will gross RM35 p/hr average.

Both you have to deduct 20%-25% commission to Grab & petrol/maintenance of 15%-20% too.

By experience HG cost is lower as you tend not to drive as long to earn as much.
Btw, toll paid by rider.

To earn RM250 nett (RM400 gross) after all cost, you are looking to drive around 12 to 15 hrs.
Thats not to say we cant do it in 10 hrs or... it may take some 20 hrs... with no breaks.



Regardless part/full time you can opt for either options.
1. Hourly Guarantee (HG) has 'incentives' in the form of guarenteed income usualy on peak hours, ie complete number of trips hourly and get certain income guaranteed regardless of fare collected. Requirements are higher.
2. Flexi can also have adhoc incentives. Previously cashback on completing number of trips daily but... now none currently. Requirements are lower thus many on flexi will be choosy for big fares only.


I suggest to both of you to read the main Grab to understand better, especially the pinned post in 1st page. Both these are the VVFAQ.

It would be hard,
but I believe you can do it with grab (opt in ambassador).

at bandung i prefer grab. Uber only if i got surge price

at bandung i prefer grab. Uber only if i got surge price

Haha i abamsado get 150+ already very happy

as what i know the grab driver will have their territory right? eg. he can only cover bangi area if he go to seremban and open for grab no customer will get u.. is it true?

Ya you register for certain area only unless you hero apply for many area
