I need your opinion. My contract will be ended soon. I was thinking to buy a Bezza and do full-time grab after got sacked.

Few thing that comes to my mind :-

-Is it a good move?
-Bezza medium spec is sufficient enough?
-I need a new car because old car didnt meet requirement,so planning to buy bezza while still have payslip to make a loan.
-How much roughly full time grab driver can earn ? (i did some research, if rajin can earn up to 1k per week), is it true?
-What the pro's and con's on being fulltime grab driver?
-Is it still worth it? I heard grab will take 25% after this.

Your advice is much appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

I suggest you to rent a newer car first, around rm450 per week and try driving for Grab or Uber for a month or two first. familiarized yourself with the system and make a decision later on.

Bezza rear seats sucks like bangku. tiring for a journey to KLIA ( if more than 30 minutes ) resulting lower stars for you.

It is true, Grab and Uber commission right now is 25%. so if the fare is rm10 you will get RM 7.50 nett.

Full time driver is good earning.... that was long long time ago.

Now?

The money u get from driving grab going down every month...on average.

U could try out grab/uber before decide.
Imagine, u buy the car next day grab say no more incentive, how about that when happen?

Buy second hand car instead.
2016 and above, about half of current Bezza price.

1. Possibly still yes.
2. Yes.
3. You will still need a car regardless of whether you are driving for Grab or not.
4. 1k gross per week on average, smart and rajin ones can get >1.5k.
5. Go check out other threads.
6. Currently still yes.

Renting a car is about 2-3x what you will be paying for your instalment.
Unless you are really desperate and unable to get a loan, this is not a choice.
Second hand car is also a good option, provided you don't get a problematic one.

Many drivers are still using Bezza nowadays, cheap fare means cheap car.
Who cares ?

Driving full time for Grab/Uber is like taking a physically demanding lowly paid job with long hours and unpredictable income.

After deducting commission, petrol, toll, servicing, tyres, brake pads, road tax and insurance you will be left with even less.

Take a regular job and drive part time for pocket money. Doing full time isn't worth it.

Buying a car is a big commitment, if you are unsure and want to test out driving for Grab/Uber. I would recommend you rent a car and try it out. You will earn lesser as you need to pay the rental but at least if you don't have to commit for an investment.
