Hi all !

I'm a Freelance Personal Trainer , a tuition teacher and also a badminton coach , the thing is i work all of these job with rather sporadic schedules.

for example , ill be working 6am-7am , 10am-11am, 4pm-5pm then 9am-10am on a daily basic, so i do have a lot of freetime in between

with that said i'm thinking of doing GRAB part time to maximize my timings and all.

But if i were to do so i would have to fork out a decent amount of cash to get a new car, i currently drive a 1986 Isward ( lel )



I'm thinking if i were to do GRAB maybe 3 hours a day for 6x a week ( let's say i can earn RM15 an hour so it'll be 18 x 15 ) so it'll be an additional RM270 a week as a part time driver , or is that too optimistic ?

I do have a few friends working GRAB fulltime and they said GRAB isn't worth doing parttime anymore for some reason.

So what do you guys think ?

i would rather say not worth doing full time since so insecure.
anytime can get banned for unknown reason.

how much u frens are getting every month ? by doing 10-12 hrs per day, includes weekends ?

part time still okay since u just want to occupy ur time.
can expect net ard *RM10-RM20 depends on luck and time to drive.
*change from time to time as crapcar is keep reducing the incentive payout.
as at now, i am getting ard RM200 incentive and gross fare ard 450 per week.
total net i am getting ard RM300plus, by driving ard 50-60 trips per week.

but if u purposely want to get a new car, please forget it.

My friends are doing GRAB fro 60 hours a week ( full time i believe ) and he makes around 4k a month i think ? and he gets a free car at the end of his contract or something which is damn awesome

For fun = don't care if worth it or not

Caring if it is worth it or not doesn't seems like driving for fun.

Make sure your driving skill is good or else you might end up losing money (accidents and stuff do happens on the road)

I wouldn't say not caring ... well actually ... hmm ... the thing is my current job does make decent money but i work so few hours a day and when my clients goes overseas im left stranded , so I'm thinking of taking GRAB as a safety net sort of speak and also to bolster my income
