Hi sifuss, newbie here. Plan to grab for full time for about 4 months to earn travel money since I just graduate. Any advice?
I've read the first page of this thread and since there's 700++ pages impossible for me to read every single page of them, appreciate if any kind soul willing to share some tips.

Get a phone with good gps.

Prepare enough small change in case of cash payment.

As a newbie, you may want to stop your car while waiting for ping.

I hardly use My Destination. Today gave it a try...

Waited for 5 minutes, no job. But as soon as I turned off the function, a job came in.

Sigh...

I understand the difficulties you face cry.gif

If you are jobless it's OK to do Grab. At the same time look for jobs.

Or start your own business - consider hiring me laugh.gif

No promo, fewer riders.
No incentives, fewer drivers.

As I explained before, crap needs to generate auxiliary income.

So you talk to riders directly to decide how to return the phones?

Last time when doing Uber a student left her hostel access card in my car. I went back to her hostel to return the item. But she gave me some money, so it's OK πŸ˜…

Driving license should be fine. Don't give IC.
With copy of IC, they could use it to say, apply for new phone line.

Thanks πŸ˜‰

Last week I just had bak kut teh at Klang Hokkien Association.

If you happen to be near Kuchai Lama, can consider having a break at NSK.

The food there is not exactly great. But the good thing about NSK is parking is easy to find, and free for 2 hours.

You may pay a visit to Theresa Kok if you admire her 😁

Today got a rider who was surprised to get a ping. He said because of the jam and most of all, driversΒ  might have to pass the toll, driver refused to pick up in the area.Β  He received a call from the driver who called to inquire since he needed to pay the toll to get him , would he reimburse him Rm2.10 for picking him up with Rm5 fare.

The rider asked him is it fair for him to pay the grab driver since he was not in his car yet? Why should he pay?

I asked him before dropping at his double storey house, if he is the Grab driver would he pick someone up by picking up the toll charges for a RM5 or Rm15 fare?Β   shakehead.gif

I have passed toll many times en route to picking up riders. Never once dis I asked the riders to pay for it.

Sometimes we are unlucky. I can only hope that next job would be better.

Wait for crap to change the rules.
Last time crap permanently closed opt-in for ambassador scheme. Those who didn't opt in were stuck with 25% commission to crap. Then MOT stepped in...

drivers like you spoil market.. is the reason why grab won't bother to improve their job allocation method to prevent this kind of situation.

Nobody wins if crap becomes taxi 2.0.

There are a few things you can do:
1. If you do not turned on AA, you can reject the jobs.
2. If you accept the jobs by accident, cancel them.
3. Choose a route to bypass toll. Tell the riders that "ETAa 20 min". If they cannot wait they will cancel the rides.
4. Finally, lu x suke lu keluar.

BTW, if you didn't choose crap over Uber, the latter could still be around. Blame yourself for killing Uber and making crap cocky. I was an Uber driver right until it ceased operation.

I am more concerned with the new rules governing e-hailing, such as Puspakom vehicle check. How often do you get a job which requires you to drive past a toll? When I was a full time driver (now part time), I got only 1-2 such jobs every month.

One way about 300m.

I always give free trips to oku especially around brickfields area and they really appreciate it. Back in the Uber days, they will even reverse the credit card charge when I ask for a fare review...but grab don't give a damn and I even lose the commission to them. Anyway didn't matter so long as it's a good deed

I often go to the Malaysian Association for the Blind in Brickfield for toilet break. In fact I just did yesterday.

But so far I haven't had any blind riders from that area yet πŸ€”

Start a small business if you can.
If you are successful, do come back and share with us. Sharing is caring 😁

If you have to come back to Grab, mind you cancellation rate. Don't be so choosy lah...
