Need clarification on HG...
Let's say I accept a ride at 6:55pm, and drop off the rider at 7:40pm. Is this considered a trip for the 7pm block?

Hi guys,

what is the best budget phone to use as a grab driver for good GPS signal?
I intend to be a grabdriver but my phone is old already need to get a new one, I scared my google map will lock in to location very slow.

I'm thinking of buying redmi note 4x. Is this good phone for grabdriver to get good gps?

I use Huawei Honor 5X.
Very smooth GPS, but battery life sucks.

How long does the battery last? Can go whole day?
But if use the car cigarette as charger and charge while driving shud be no problem right?
*
When online, basically the battery level of my Huawei Honor 5X drops by 1% every 1-2 minutes.
Even when plugged into power bank battery level still drops, albeit slowly.
Never try car charger yet...

Very few apps installed on this phone, as I mainly use it for grab/Uber only.

To save power, I disable wifi when online. Sometimes even turn off the display.

Xiaomi is known to have GPS issue. I personally used Note 4 before switching to Huawei.

May I ask which one is better if drive grabcar, Waze or Google map?
*
Last time, when doing Uber, a rider questioned me why I didn't use Waze. Was trying Google Maps then.

Malaysians trust Waze more...

Personally, as a person who wears glasses, I find Waze kinder to my eyes.

I picked up two grabshare riders: A & B.
Grab told me to drop off A first, then B. But actually it's more convenient to drop off B first.

Is it possible to change sequence?

Btw, A said she was in a hurry. If that's the case don't choose grabshare lah doh.gif

Get referral code so that that guy can earn some money.
Maybe you ask him to give you a treat later...

how many times they recalculate the fare in your experience? and do the customer complain or refuse to pay when the fare is diff?
*
I had one Uber rider who paid the updated fare, but later complained to Support. (I used the route suggested by Waze, which wasn't the shortest.) As a result my earning was cut.

Difference in fare? About RM2 doh.gif

Just normal car insurance will do.

Normal car insurance does not cover the riders.
Does Grab cover the riders in case of accident?

So like u experience. if you drove to a remote kampung area, u probably travel deep into some low populated place. how will you recuperate the loss of coming back distance to town area . let say it's 15-20 km . to come out from that area, i estimate you lose around RM 5 ringgit (probably more) of gas in order to reset back in a populated area.  I wonder if this is one of the weakness in Grab that have not been improve or not highlighted to the CEO yet?

Now that Uber is out. Don't expect Grab to listen to us...

and ping slow memang due to lot driver. why uber sell sea business to grab? 1 of main reason definitely biz bad,can't afford to burn more $$. that also means, they have limited rider while they need feed lots driver.
now those driver 90% being absorb into grab, while their smaller customer pool I believe even lesser being absorbed by grab? I guess this the main reason ping slow?
*
I drove Uber before. There number of riders was definitely not small. Basically I got a ping before I complete current job.

Yes Uber was losing money. So was Grab. Grab is merely surviving on investor money.
Sooner or later Grab will have to payback its investors. It means:
- increase fares
- cut driver incentives
Or, hopefully...
- be able to generate auxiliary income

I so long didn't see mapren and less foreign manual laborers.

Now, back to seeing mapren and fetching lots of manual laborers. The smell... Haiz... My Uber income was less than Grab because I haven't mastered Surge, etc, but so much less headache, and majority of riders smell better, they know how to wear deodorant/perfume...

But at least now Grab riders not so smelly because those Uberians switch to Grab. But now DR suffering pulak...

I also notice more Grab riders smoke or vape compared to Uber sad.gif
