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...

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

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

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
