Hi everyone. I'm new to Grab as a driver and I've just had around 4 days of driving experience.
I'm a graduate currently waiting for a job in Alor Setar area so I'm trying to earn some money by trying part-time Grab.
I don't know if anyone here is a driver in Alor Setar area, or knows about the earning structure. Having worked for a few days I wish to share my experience and hopefully you guys can help to improvise.
According to https://www.grab.com/my/blog/driver/grabcar...ure-alor-setar/
In Alor Setar, the only incentive I have is 10% commission rate when a ride is completed in busy area during busy hours. We don't have the so called hourly incentive, so our earning depends on how frequent we get ping, and how efficient the trip is completed without all other nuisance. (Wrong location, late showing, cancellation, extra request, traffic jam etc)
I'll just give one example:
Yesterday I worked from 8am until 10pm. Completed only 20 trips. Total gain of RM127. After deducting petrol cost and commission rate (included the 10% during busy time), My net gain is not more than RM70. This is the earning I didn't expect since I've laboured a great amount of time. I think one of the major factor is the infrequent ping I received. But even if I do, I don't feel one can earn as much as drivers in bigger cities (KL, Penang etc) do without extra incentives.
Now I start to reconsider my choice of choosing Grab as part-time. There might be points I've missed or mistaken, I really hope anyone here can help!
Thank you. Sorry for the long post.

*We do have Grab ambassador program, but its incentive isn't attractive too. Moreover it is not open for application now.

use another number to register for uber and try your luck in uber too...sometimes in some towns ppl prefer uber as the fares could be cheaper...but still whether its driving for uber or grab it would only make sense to hit their quest/incentives/peak hour surcharge and not totally rely on trip fares
