first of all, salute to fellow GRAB drivers out there.

I have quite a bit of dilemma doing GRAB. ive been doing this for the past 3 months, full time, and I'm seeing a worrying pattern to my income. I thought I might be doing something wrong, because my own experience and what I read over the internet and hearsay taht people can easily makes clean income nett profit above rm3k per month by doing GRAB.

so my daily routine is usually like this, and my expenses.
I started working from 9am and I usually do it till 9 or 10pm everyday. Sometimes I take 1 day off every week, sometimes none at all.

Expenses:
RM80+ Everyday Fuel
RM50 Everyday for GRAB Cash topup
RM20~RM30 Toll
RM20~RM30 Miscellaneous (food/tidbits)

other miscellaneous costs not included like phone bills/cleaning/car maintenance/tyres etc...

So this is pretty much my daily expenses doing GRAB from 9am~9 or 10pm everyday

with the RM50 topup, I can make RM210~RM250 gross salary everyday. Minus my expenses, I bring home less than RM50 home everyday nett profit.
At this rate I'm getting around RM1.5 only nett profit every month working my ass off everyday from morning to night with no life.
Ive heard other drivers bragging that this isnt the case and theyre making much more money than me.

Please, I beg of anyone that can help me. what am I doing wrong? How can I improve myself? I desperately need to improve... Im seriously at a loss.

What about your incentive? I can get at least RM 500 in incentives every week. My expenses just use the cash that I got from previous day.

from what I heard, you need to know when and where the hotspot is...

basically, you need to know peak hours so that the rate will be double or triple...

ive never gotten even one incentives yet since i start. most of the incentives are klia to and fro. i have not taken a single rider to klia/klia 2 yet and i dont think waiting all day over there is a good idea too, because too many other drivers waiting as well. itll affect my overall daily earning if i jsut wait and dont earn anything.

U work about 11-12 hrs per day, gross income per day is RM250, income per hour is RM20+

There is something wrong with your driving area, try move to hotspot or high demand area.

Another thing is, try drive early in the morning by incentive, morning and evening peak hour is the best time to maximize income and higher possibility to get higher surge.

I'm doing part time can get gross around RM30-40 per hour at nearby city area btw.

Your car fuel consumption is very high too, eating your cost about 40% of your net income. Myself is around 20% using Myvi.

ahh is that what you think? so rm250 per day is abnormally low then? I drive a saga blm. maybe its high because I kept moving around to chase the ever changing hotspot. any advice on which area I should stick with?
also, what do u mean by drive early for incentive if you dont mind telling me? since a few weeks ago, only incentive bonus that is active in my grab acct is grabshare 15 trips, and kila/klia trip. no other incentive. ive heard people saying that there are incentive for a certain cumulative trips u do everyday, but I dont think I have that in my menu of active incentive.

I guess, coming from a full time grab driver thats been having it rough, its best if u get a full time job elsewhere - then do grab as side income.
personally Im falling behind on every monthly commitment I have. and im at a loss to how I can earn more to service my car as well. Im worried...

how's grab since uber no longer available? more tough for driver since more driver is looking for job?

as said for better future get full time jon during daytime and grab during night..but make sure you get enough rest and sleep ok..take care bro

Where is ur location ? U used rm30 toll to travel home from your last drop off point? FYI, toll is paid by rider.

Since u are full timer, u should focus hourly guarantee(HG) and start at 6am. Look at the incentive table to learn more.

With the HP, UP, MP block in HG , u should get average RM25 nett per hour from grab for those block.

If you chase GS then ur Flexi I assume? Flexi got cashback daily ie: complete 20trips get 20% back. PLease correct me if I'm wrong.

Try Opt in HG? Ur 3months senior, I'm sure you know HG and Flexi. Anyway, keep ur GW high to fish for jerung (RM20 - 50). Your AR above 80%? U sapu all? Area? KL? MOnt Kiara, Damansara, all those rich + expat stay? It could be location not hot enough.

Pray for rain and the area ur in got red hot? If you can be in a red area with jam and rain but still managed to Pu rider and drop them using inside road in PJ... The fare is double or more...

Anyway... I might teaching u ajaran sesat again... doh.gif

OMG believe it or not I have no idea at all of those jargons you guys are using sweat.gif

and nope i have no idea what is flexi, hourly guarantee, PU etc etc... ever since I started I jsut hantam accept every call I receive and take passengers whether the fare is high or low. is that where im doing wrong?

u guys told me RM9 and above is counter productive and all these times I thought those are what Im aiming for? rclxub.gif

Oh lord... I might have been doing this wrong since the start...

hi bro, looking at your expenses is really kinda high

Expenses:
RM80+ Everyday Fuel (you drive 400km a day chasing red spot? you need to find a spot which is suitable to your driving area and which incentive you take)
RM50 Everyday for GRAB Cash topup (normal lah top up)
RM20~RM30 Toll (toll is paid by rider unless its your own during chasing the red spot so try not to pass by toll or chase red spot)
RM20~RM30 Miscellaneous (food/tidbits) (i think quite standard for whole day)

try to hit minimum RM30 per hour inclusive incentive. chasing red spot is not the way for me, instead of moving around try park at mall or market area for like 10-15mins, no ping then move to another area. (park,wait and move) fuel saves more if you can off the engine while waiting

if still cannot, i seriously think GRAB is not suitable for you
basically your gross earning RM200 you earn is break into below
GRAB commission - 25% RM50
Petrol and maintenance - 25% RM50
Your gross before food and own toll - 50% RM50 - 20 food - 20 toll = BALANCE RM10 WTF

PLease read the first page here.

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4478891

Gradually, read last 100 pages. I trust all your questions will be answered. thumbsup.gif

If you sapu all, I think ur AR is high... >80%. Do opt in HG to try it out if the plan is good for you. HG Players aim for RM5 trip cos wanna max incen but during B or P block they fish for jerungs or eat good food (go to telegram chat, see what they post for lunch or brunch, heheh) or go tgk wayang....

If you never opt in then ur Flexi now. Flexi players really2 choosy on ping they accept. some set RM20 above only. some KLIA player only. but AR koyak laa... 30% to 50% (if they wanna chase flexi cashback)

Flexi pro I know still bring back RM400 gross daily for 10-12 hours job. Smile and accept that some days is good, some days is bad.

Now... start reading please... If your livelihood depended on GRAB.

Gradually, read last 100 pages. I trust all your questions will be answered.  :thumbsup:

If you sapu all, I think ur AR is high... >80%. Do opt in HG to try it out if the plan is good for you. HG Players aim for RM5 trip cos wanna max incen but during B or P block they fish for jerungs or eat good food (go to telegram chat, see what they post for lunch or brunch, heheh) or go tgk wayang....

If you never opt in then ur Flexi now. Flexi players really2 choosy on ping they accept. some set RM20 above only. some KLIA player only. but AR koyak laa... 30% to 50% (if they wanna chase flexi cashback)

Flexi pro I know still bring back RM400 gross daily for 10-12 hours job. Smile and accept that some days is good, some days is bad.

Now... start reading please... If your livelihood depended on GRAB.

btw what doesB block and P Block means? so much jargon haha

Yup, u need to opt in. There is a opt in button/link in your weekly incentive structure mail in your grab app notification.

B for Bonus, P for Peak.

As I said, all this jargon you will pick it up once you've read the last 100 pages. Please read. Take some time off and get to know how to maximise ur income. If you're really serious about making money in Grab anyway cheers! thumbup.gif

how's grab since uber no longer available? more tough for driver since more driver is looking for job?
grab use to give lots of incentives..what happen now?
as said for better future get full time jon during daytime and grab during night..but make sure you get enough rest and sleep ok..take care bro

Well, there are many other platform eg. My car which am have better pings than others but others such as Diff and fyi, both mycar and Diff platform do not have DR and AR and CR rating and mycar is offering 100% fare til end of May and will start deducting 15% commission 1st of June whereby Diff strategy is no commission deducting but need monthly subscription for unlimited trips. I am doing mycar now and so so but then they are new. Hopefully they can replace uber

OMG, 3 months? You're seen still newbie! Check my current table earning! I'm doing this about 2.5 months HG in KL city, being part-time driving and I'm satisfied what I had did over the months! I can easily hit minimum RM250-300 per week just only the incentives. With trip fares, roughly Rm600-RM700 earning, minus car petrol and toll, I could have clean RM550 per week. My car get 2 time fills petrol per week and run me about 630KM per fill and only cost about RM120 and maybe less than that.

Learn how to KAYUH! I drive every morning from 6AM-9AM and then step into office at 10AM.

I promise Ill keep you guys updated. early this morning i called grab customer service and the operator actually spent quite a lot of time explaining to me what mistake I have done, because I intended to do GRAB full time, and have been doing it like so for 3 months despite deficits in income. he explained to me, because I was ported into GRAB when they bought uber, my default account had always been flexi account. tahts why despite spending long hours everyday, ive been getting so low income because I had 0 incentives for 3 months. also the cashback rewards are seriously ciput... I actually had to spend it for car service.

you guys really have no idea how much this meant to me. and yeah, just like u said, I had no one to turn to. which was why I had to turn to /k/ and found this subforum. i wouldnt be exaggerating if I said i had hit rock bottom. I was soo depressed these past couple weeks. im doing my job like a robot. I had no life. my meal was... well, compared to those succesfull GRAB drivers who posted their meal everyday and watched movies, mine was pathetic...

I hope this thread wont get closed. Ive bookmarked it and Ill post updates after 1, or 2 weeks my HG acct has been activated from flexi acct. Im seriously indebted guys. truly!

because now incentive is much more lower compare with 1 year ago, so full time need alots of strategy to maximise their earnings i.e at which block to accept what kind of job and also to use cancellation at the right time and right rider (without being complain)

btw, i am doing part time and I also cut down driving a lots as many HP become P...

I called the call center earlier to inquire, but their answer wasnt helping. can you tell me what is the ambassador thing?

btw, I can only topup grab point by about rm40~rm50 daily. u guys knows my story from this thread first post. I just started 2nd day today of being part of HG incentive haha
so Im still new at this and dunno how it will affect my income. well see next week hehe...

i havent tried anything some guys suggested yet like main incentive, cancel trip, peak hour, idle hours, etc etc... just today I bantai all jobs assigned to me. I finished 20 jobs then decided im done for the day tongue.gif

until I can figure out how to do this right, this week will be like tutorial week. 1st week of me actually doing grab the proper way compared to before, so im hoiping all you sifus are willing to guide me, ill try to return the favor by helping the community the best way I can! (once I figure out how everything works tongue.gif)

Before 16 March 2018, there is ambassador (minus 20%, Grab App Only) and associates program (minus 25%, Can install other e-hailing app). After the 16th, Grab scrap the program knowingly in the future they gonna buy their most closest competitor. So the program is obsolete. notworthy.gif

It's ok... just dbkl all pings. Then check your incentive tab (scroll down after the airport incen and select view all in hourly guarantees tab) after hanging your keys to remember and learn what you should and should not do in M,U,H, hour block. Join our telegram chat. Even if we all tok kok most of the time, you will learn some other sifu tips on why they reject pings or cancel accepted pings or in some cases incentive be damn... catch jerungs laaa... but dun ask noob question please... Ask here in LYN and read the chat for uninformative but yet entertaining facts. whistling.gif

You'll will have to decide in 15 seconds - accept or ignore - 3rd ping RM50 in the M Block at 45th minutes - after completing 2 x RM5 trip before in the same block - That RM50 gonna burn your incen this hour and probably the next because of the distance and time to complete - But on the other side you got cash in hand - So how? whattodo... Whattodo??? Hehehe.... laugh.gif

Tips: FT aim for Rm100-150 daily incen. So minimum 100 x 7 days?? You kira... But when you bcum terror in the next few weeks, daily incen 200 and more... you pay for the mamak TT sessions in telegram chat okie??? thumbup.gif

Regardless, Grab Pay or not... everytime you pass the toll, please edit the 0.00 amount and put toll charges. Reason being that some of your rider wanna claim the toll cost in the receipt/email grab from their work. sweat.gif

If the rider complain to GRAB, you collect toll but never edit in the 0.00 tab - it might be an issue for Grab and You... bye.gif

I mean really larrr your rider feel very untung taking ur rides... toll you settle and they oso keep quiet oni... If they're a responsible rider, they shud tell you that toll rider pay or better, leave a tip more or the same cost as the toll... #riderdiamdiamsebabuntung. mad.gif

things I learned the hard way:

since 2 months ago, maybe more than that after uber/grab merge, I have never charged my riders for toll. every single day I belanja my riders minimum rm20 in tolls because i thought, like in uber, all calculations are inclusive... now I know why i take home rm30~rm40 those days i first started. Ive only started collecting toll fees manually from yesterday after u guys told me to do it manually. but even then, i didnt key it in the app because i didnt know the toll slot could be edited...

btw, yesterday i made 20 trips. all long distance, short distance, I sapu semua. i brought home cash about rm 70 untung bersih minus all daily expenses. today i checked my incentive, only got rm59 or so. can anyone tell me if that is a good number or bad number?

If u call from Grab apps, u only can get masking number, u cant call the number anymore after u drop off the passenger.

Unless u asked customer their personal number, else u just get grab masking number.

also i dun understand what u mean... ok here is how it works on my phone. I called customer starting from grab app, u see?

and when i press the call button, the call isnt made from grab app. what it does is it actually enters the whole number list on my phone app. so i had to press teh green button to call them manually like how i call my friends and family on day to day basis. i dun udnerstand what u mean by calling from app, masking number, etc etc... probably easier if i showed u a printscreen instead. i have days of phone logs calling unregistered unsaved number. but the number is always shown in full...

also i dun understand what u mean... ok here is how it works on my phone. I called customer starting from grab app, u see?

and when i press the call button, the call isnt made from grab app. what it does is it actually enters the whole number list on my phone app. so i had to press teh green button to call them manually like how i call my friends and family on day to day basis. i dun udnerstand what u mean by calling from app, masking number, etc etc... probably easier if i showed u a printscreen instead. i have days of phone logs calling unregistered unsaved number. but the number is always shown in full...
*
u can check ur call log, all number u called / received start with 016 299 xxxx

Thats the masking number i talking about, grab hide ur and passenger number. after the ride u cant call each other anymore

unless as i said earlier u ask passenger number personally

thats why i said maybe its easier if i just show my call history printscreen. ive got a feeling that you and I both think were each trying to bullshit each other la lol

i just took a screenshot on my phone and was just gonna upload the picture here jsut now. then i thought what if theres people from grab hq here that can trace those numbers and found out my id from cross referencing... maybe its better if i dun put it up here after all. just trust my word. I have the full number of every single person i ever called from grab, safely recorded in my call log. i just didnt save their number with names, but the numbers are still they. i can even save them and ill get their whatsapp details the next seconds.

things I learned the hard way:

since 2 months ago, maybe more than that after uber/grab merge, I have never charged my riders for toll. every single day I belanja my riders minimum rm20 in tolls because i thought, like in uber, all calculations are inclusive... now I know why i take home rm30~rm40 those days i first started. Ive only started collecting toll fees manually from yesterday after u guys told me to do it manually. but even then, i didnt key it in the app because i didnt know the toll slot could be edited...

btw, yesterday i made 20 trips. all long distance, short distance, I sapu semua. i brought home cash about rm 70 untung bersih minus all daily expenses. today i checked my incentive, only got rm59 or so. can anyone tell me if that is a good number or bad number?

( Fare collected cash/grabpay + incentive ) - 20% .. count how many hours u work, divide them

if can get nett rm20-30 per hour consider ok lor

Try count like this,

Yesterday i complete 25 jobs, total fare = RM220

Incentive = RM100

Total = RM320 - 64(20%) -RM50 petrol

= RM206

I drive 9 hours, so 1 hour nett around RM23

Well, there are many other platform eg. My car which am have better pings than others but others such as Diff and fyi, both mycar and Diff platform do not have DR and AR and CR rating and mycar is offering 100% fare til end of May and will start deducting 15% commission 1st of June whereby Diff strategy is no commission deducting but need monthly subscription for unlimited trips. I am doing mycar now and so so but then they are new.  Hopefully they can replace uber

oh the apps is using the same name..mycar?? dont mind trying it out..for me it's more of convenient instead of the branding la..whichever car that come first i will take it

RM59 for Full Timer (FT) is low but you're a beginner Hourly Guarantees (HG) player so it should be ok. As I reply in the earlier thread, normal for FT is RM100 - 150 daily. You can be sifu oredi if start to earn incen RM200 daily. drool.gif

I can feel you start to smile oredi and soon when the incen rolls in, you can laugh and be happy driving. rclxms.gif

And... b4 you ask... Incen is also depend on minutes "available for jobs green slide button on the top right, not in the middle online offline button". To earn full incen, the slide button have to be green but after accepting ping, if you off it, it will counted as minutes online right after you press drop rider, then have to slide green available for jobs again. flex.gif

Eg: U on green slide button for 30mins and the hour block is (1 trip) RM25 - (4 trip) RM50. Incen will only be pro rated to half bcos 60mins - 30mins, so therefore, if you get 4 X RM5 trips = RM20 cash but incen only RM5 bcos half of RM50 is 25.... rclxub.gif

Good practice! rather than ordering two at the same time or 4 riders order one each from 2 different e hailing = that is 8 orders already and when the first car arrived, all 4 jump in and what happen to other 7 orders (drivers who arrived later???). - Students from all U notoriously doing this often. ranting.gif vmad.gif

The other 7 drivers already wasted time and fuel to get to the pick up point. Simply put sand in other people rice bowl... imagine if their father and mother were treated and played the same way....

Oh... sorry for rambling... and Thank you for being a considerate rider thumbsup.gif thumbsup.gif thumbsup.gif

From your first post all doom and gloom... sad.gif cry.gif now a smile a few days later... smile.gif a few weeks later who knows, maybe become sifu to others rclxms.gif

Arrange your needs in B and P block... Mega(M) Ultra(U) High(H) Peak hour block try to score the lowest fare and maximise the number of trips. Bonus(B) and Peak(P) hour block u can hunt for big fare and oso eat good food, tgk wayang, tok kok in chat, kau leng lui or vietmoi, toilet, sleep... anything lahhh under the sun... laugh.gif

Emergency in MUH block... hafta go toilet then go lorr... emergency what... off green slide then after finish business then slide green on again... no point leaving it green then after ping masuk, u not in to answer then ignore one job, lose Accept Rate(AR) and oso green slide will be auto off, lose minutes online as well... (Picture of fade black with padlock sign...) - there is a solution that actually... (Bring ur phone wit u to the loo) Hahaha... tongue.gif tongue.gif

yep youre right hahaha

i wasnt kidding. during that time I wrote my first post, I really believed I had hit rock bottom. I was ready to call it quits for good. I actually failed to see any semblance of light at all at the end of the tunnel... now I actually got 2nd wind. Ive gotten the chance to rectify my mistakes, thanks to everyones guidances here, I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart, you guys have no idea!

thanks for explaining about how I should manage and time my moment of when to hit the potty haha... It neevr occurred to me to use B blocks to do ur personal stuffs because its not worth it doing trips at the time. and your tip that I should use that block to secure big fish, I will keep that in mind!~

oh boy I really hope no mod will delete this thread. I really need to keep looking back from time to time of every advices im getting here! I hope one day when I have mastered the art of GRAB hehe, I can go back and keep going back to this thread to see how I crawled my way up from rock bottom with proper guidance and helps from those more experienced. you guys must understand, from the bottom of my ehart, I am truly grateful for all the help you guys are giving me! what more, Im a total stranger to you all biggrin.gif

The schedule changes if there is a public holiday. and if ever GRAB wanna reduce incen, they wil make changes to MUH Block... as long as u try to max ur incen during MUH block, u shud be ok. U r FT Grab... try to target RM100 and above daily ok... bcos that RM100 and above still have to minus Grab commission. hmm.gif

Every once in awhile if not often... Grab will throw spanar at you during MUH Block... whether to accept, to ignore... you will know what to decide thru experience. Every drivers is different and only you know what best for you... thumbsup.gif

How is your intake for these few days HG? Its exciting now huh? with the planning, decision and execution... but remember beginner or senior, some days is good and wonderful while other days is so so, and maybe there is that one particular day is not good... whatever it is.... icon_rolleyes.gif Bite the bullet!

thanks for the advice!

these past few days, I still use the same game plan. remember when I said I will try to shoot for 20 trips daily? these past few days I managed to reach this!

when I was about to give up on GRAB and first opened this thread to appeal to you guys, I made home everyday about rm20~rm40 (on a good day) nett profit.
Im glad to say last week, my first week of doing HG, I managed to rake in over rm1,000! atm, my average daily earnings are RM150++ (with incentives included, and all expenses already deducted!)

so from your advice, I made even more than rm100 that you recommended, but I still havent made the calculations using the formula that someone left in here, so I dunno how much I make per hour yet.
just so u know, highest amount of incentives I ever earned from flexi before this was like rm17 only... and they always gave me short trips. Now after I opted for HG, they spammed me with long trips sweat.gif

I dunno whether thats a good thing or not sweat.gif
for now, I still dunno yet how to maximise the HG system using the pick and choose method. I just accept all works given to me, and i only reject (long) trips during MP blocs, and not other blocs!
Im still trying to learn, so give me time to see how its done tongue.gif

btw, my incentives from last weeks job, I still havent gotten it. how will they pay me? and when?

I usually use all payment made to grabpay to reload my grab cash haha. but today, I received only like rm35 cash in hand. I used it to refuel, and carwash. the rest over 90% use grabpay, so I just transfer rm150 to my bank acct for todays upah lah  tongue.gif

This week incen Monday to sunday will only be shown in credit wallet Wednesday afternoon next week and if you transfer the cash to your maybank acc the same day, you can see the amount in your acc by Friday afternoon. Grab will send you an email saying the amount has been credited to your acc. biggrin.gif

This is the fastest unless you are the chosen few to get the same day transfer to acc. Only a few got those feature as a testing if their server can cope with the request or not. flex.gif

Did you drive during the past election week holiday? If you do, How is your intake? Good? Normal? hmm.gif

Do updates us on your quest to become sifu hg... a real story of zero to hero kinda inspiring story, so others who have the same predicament as you the last time can learn and be like you. rclxm9.gif

ahaha tyvm! to call myself sifu is just downright wrong. im still learning left from right lol
I still havent figured out how incentives works yet, and I still havent done the selective jobs thinghy yet. like doing only short trips during MP and go vietmoi massat during B blocks etc etc lol

yeah. on Wednesday I did grab. thats the first time in my entire life ive seen KL/Selangor so empty like my hometown Kuching on certain days. Now I can imagine what people meant when they said KL during raya is ghost town. so thats how itll be like. Last election day, Wednesday was extremely fruitful! I did 57 jobs on that day! I brought home nett profit RM300+ (f I include incentives, I got 300+ from incentives)... and those rm400+ is only from cash in hand! I got lots of payment on grabpay as well, around rm200+ almost rm300 but my habit is to not bother the money in grab wallet because i think its easier if i use those money for topup.

now my habit is I sapu every job, as long as I can reach my daily nett profit of RM150. if on certain days I didnt get rm150, only then will I deduct money from my grab wallet so I can tally the amount to rm150 for that day. (fuel and toll expenses already minus. rm150 is clean profit only). this week im expecting payout incentives of around rm 300++ almost rm400.

my focus for now is to use every penny I have made to catch up on my outstanding bills and rental/utilities. If you guys remember correctly, I did mentioned that I was in a financial predicament and I was looking for salvation, which was how I started begging for help from you guys for advice and counsel tongue.gif ... now I have used first HG week payments to catch up on my rental for house. now this week I plan to use my incentives and profit for smaller miscellaneous bills like telco/utilities/unifi etc... (my main maxis number already been barred cuz I cant afford to pay my bills for 3 months. thats how bad I was doing before I seek help here...)

only 1 thing im not sure tho, is how come I didnt get my weekly statement? where do u get it? is it in driver app or email directly to u? in any case, for last 2 week statement, my first week of doing HG, I didnt get my statement. is this normal?

lastly, just for an update, last week only 5 days working, I managed to obtain nett profit of rm 1.3k ... if I include incentives that hasnt been credited yet for that week, I will get around rm1.7k ... if I keep this up, ill be able to get rm5k~rm6k per month, which means, after I cleared all my financial problem this month, starting next month ill be able to actually turn my acct book around biggrin.gif

again, I cant emphasize how much you guys here have helped me! I hope the day will come soon when I can repay your kindness and pass on knowledge to newer members who needs help!

edit** forgot to mention. I did job whole day from morning till night on friday. my mistake I didnt expect our people to be so dilligent on cuti day, they cuti kaw kaw haha. I made like 13 trips on that day (friday) and brought home only rm30 nett profit. but at least my fuel tank was full haha. on thursday I took a break. I was celebrating PH win XD

ok guys and fellow sifu!

someone actually reached out to me and asked me for tips on doing grab! I didnt expect the time for me to pass on the knowledge I obtained from you sifus in here to come so soon! Im in a really good mood now. so Im gonna try to structure my explanations from start to latest as best as I could, ok?

again, I just wanna thank all you sifus that actually helped and guided me! I finally see light at the end of the tunnel now. Im gonna continue doing this as much as I possibly can!

Thanks again, dear sifus!

Introduction: My Mistakes

You guys should know first, that I started off from UBER. about 1 month before It got purchased by GRAB.

When doing UBER, I dun think they have a system of hourly guarantee or some sort. They have a consistent price hike tho, like 1.2x nor mal price, 1.5x normal price etc etc at all time depending on region and traffic.

So when I first started off at UBER, I just kinda got laid off work, u see... So I had to start raising money. At this time, The only money reserves I had in bank amounted to like RM1,000 only. I had more before that, but I used those money as investment to buy a 2nd hand car, and to pay deposit for my condo taht I live alone in. I have my reasons for living alone, trust me. I knew what I was doing back then. Its not a matter of living outside my means. I was preparing for something that will happen in the future, and for that to happen, I must live alone in my own unit tongue.gif

Ok so, back to uber. when I first started uber, I started working only 3 days the first week. I remembered first day I got only about rm30+ but I had full tank (which was quite rare for me. I never had full tank before except at start of the month after payday). The next couple days, I scored between 80+ and rm100+ ... I remembered that week I got slightly less than rm200...

So I kept doing uber several times next week but still my income never exceeded rm300 per week... entering 3rd week, my family came to visit, so I stopped doing uber for a while. so during those times, I earned about rm500+ only doing UBER. i was starting to doubt my decision...

then grab bought uber on the same week my family went back home. they were with me for almost 2 weeks, so those 2 weeks I didnt work at all. I cant leave my family alone while i work for money, that just doesnt sit right for me...

soa fter uber/grab merged, I lost my money source. my final rm1000 in bank I had to ration it. I skipped paying house bill for 1 month the month after that. that same month, I received BRIM rm450 but i used everything to pay my bills... and I had to borrow some money from parents. My financial downfall started at this point...

so after the merge, I was left jobless for about 3 weeks. I spammed so many companies for work, but to no avail. then entering the 4th week, I finally received a surprise email, saying my GRAB acct has been activated. i was dumbfounded. I never applied for grab, dafuq...

then someone told me they just used my info from uber and used everything and now i work for grab instead of uber lol

Introduction: GRAB mistakes that I did

so when I started off doing grab, i remembered just to test the water, I did grab only for 3 days the first week. then gradually I increased the number of days, but I still try to limit my working days. if possible at least 1 week, i must rest for 1 day. usually ill take 2 days off.

so during the first month, or specifically the first 7 weeks I did GRAB, here are the mistakes that I did:

1. Everyday I spent rm20~rm30 covering up for tolls of my passenger!

*when I did uber, toll was inclusive in the fare. so when I started doing grab, imagine everyday I "subsidized" my riders for their tolll. everyday my poket bocor rm20~rm30 covering for their tolls, and they know they had to pay for tolls, but nobody even mentioned it to me. not even once! so in the end, I calculated my loss here about roughly rm500~rm700 those first 7 weeks...

2. I was on a flexi plan instead of Hourly Guarantee

*so I only learned about the existence of HG the moment I first started this thread, imagine my noobness lol...

when I was still on flexi, everyay I received jobs and I noticed that GRAB fare is much lower than uber. but the only thing that I can say is better than uber is grab has a policy of rm5 minimum fare. when doing uber, I was getting as low as 20 cents per trips (of course they reimburse the full amount later but that takes times, and my wallet is as empty as they can be. my acct was already negative at taht time, I had to borrow money from sister...)

but I noticed in incentive tab, theres incentive of cashabck from low 10% to highest 20% IF i get to drop riders as specific part at klia1 and klia 2 dafuq... imagine me doing flexi grab for 7 weeks, dropping people off at klia, and not even once those klia/klia2 cashback incentive qualified tab ever increased. it kept staying at 0... dafuq?!

I remembered before this when reading forums or from hearsay, grab players always says "main insentif, main insentif, etc etc..."

but as u guys can deduce now, from my first 7 weeks of doing grab, I have no idea how this incentive system works, probably because i never get any... and even if I get max incentive of 20% cashback from klia, imagine if I make a steady rm200~rm300 back then, my cashback would only be rm20~rm40++ every week PROVIDED IF I actually scored it, in which case, I never did...

so imagine the depression I was having at this time, with lower fare than uber, almost non existent incentives, my debt stacking up, my maxis main number already barred cuz I havent paid bills for 2 months, (I have that smartphone maxisone oackage so i am paying rm300+ per month), my house bill is overdue 1 month even tho I just rented the place for 3 months, and to top it off, back then my income was a steady rm500+ nett profit working my ass off from 7am till 11pm, 6 days a week...

imagine me giving fake smiles to riders saying i must be making lots of money doing grab full time, but only I know the truth that I only can barely make rm1500 every month! and my meals everyday is below pathetic! those gardenia bread are staple food.

I remembered 1 night I actually lost it, while eating my gradenia with leftover mineral water in my car, I just started crying for a long time. I was sobbing like a child that lost his favorite toy. I was totally heartbroken and helpless. That night was the night I hit rock bottom, when I decided this is it... theres no future for me doing grab.

thats about 2 or 3 nights before I opened this thread. I stopped doing grab for a couple days after that night. I had already lost my will.

I Got Back Up Again

after I opened this thread, I saw the usual /k/ bs in here as well, thats totally normal. then some of the sifus here actually started asking me questions that I have no answers to, such as the jargons they used: MP/UP/P and HG, Time Blocs and Incentives etc etc

with more questions being asked at me, more questions arose from their questions to me in my head, so I started researching again and kept asking in here, then the sifus 1 by 1 started helping me (probably they realized I wasnt exaggerating and wasnt kidding about my bad predicament... and probably they realized at taht time I really didnt know anything, which was true lol)

everyone is still adamant talking about incentives and calculating and showing their spreadsheets of making rm20~rm30 clean profit per hour (whilst I was making clean rm20+ profits every night before bed working from 7am till 11pm everyday, seriously, imagine how I was feeling back then... its like these sifus are throwing salt in my gaping wound, only thing is they dun realized theyre doing it lol)

So I decided. Im gonna play whatever games these sifus are playing. Im gonna try this and give grab 1 more chance. I started researching HG. the next morning I called grab customer service. the person who answered my call was super helpful (probably because it was so early in the morning), he explained to me everything that is to know about HG. and he kept scolding me too, telling me adamantly and specifically that FLEXI plan is for PART TIMER who works according to their mood, while HOURLY GUARANTEE is for FULL TIMER! (imagine how dumbfounded i was ahahaha)... so the guy arranged for my transfer to HG from flexi, but he told me this part is most important:

** In order to opt in to HG from FLEXI, you must do the application between monday~wednesday every week before 12pm on wednesday. after that the application to transfer for that week is closed, and then you need to wait for next week.

IF your application is a SUCCESS, it will only happen on FRIDAY of that same week, BUT it wont be activated yet in your grab driver apps that you have changed to HG. it will still remain as flexi. you will only have your HG started of the following week on MONDAY!

but he also told me, in order to opt in to HG, GRAB HQ will do assessment to your behavior whether youre qualified to opt in to HG or not. they will assess you from your acceptance rating, your activeness (days youre working every week), and your cancellation rate. lastly they will see your star ranking, it must be above 4.8 or was it 4.7? I forgot...

so after I learned about that, I opted to change to HG. to make sure I pass their test, I kept doing what Ive been doing kaw kaw that particular week even tho im still eating gardenia, im still making about rm20~rm30 nett profit everyday, I kept on going for that 1 last week!

so next monday arrives, and I jumped in joy and I remembered shouting happiliy that I got my status changed to HG now haha

(but I didnt start wrking immediately that monday. I took another day off and decided im gonna do more homework and learn more about grabs from reading the official grab thread that someone directed me to read in this forum. I did exactly that!)

Dear Bro,

I feel sad and sorry for the situation you are facing right now. I honestly quite skeptical if someone can make good income doing Grab for full time (some even relying from Grab income to pay living cost, car loan, car maintenance, etc)
With the price hike and competition right now I would say very tough for someone to rely only on Grab.
If I were you, I will be very friendly with passenger and start having quality conversation which might lead to full time employment (we hire one of our staff for customer service because one manager ride his car and have a good conversation, found out he actually in the middle of looking for job, expecting baby in few months, used to work in call centre, etc)
- Obviously not by interviewing your passenger but more to casual discussion to widen your network and open new opportunity and knowledge for you.
If you feel your passenger not interested to have a chat or even annoyed you need to stop and not discussing it further.
- You might try offer personal chauffeur to tourist or someone visiting Malaysia on daily rate or flat rate (calculate it wisely ofcourse)
- Ask your passenger who use your personal chauffeur service to recommend to his/her family friend or relative to contact you if they want to visit Malaysia. even if they need bigger car you can rent the car.
- Make a personal business card so you can pass it incase your passenger need you in the future

It's good for you to Grab, but you will not have the benefits of full time employment. moreover the risk is quite high if anything happen to you or your vehicle.
- What if you fall sick
- What if your car need to do major maintenance
- What if your car involve in accident and unable to GRAB
you will have no income, and yet expenses is a must.

Good luck and keep fighting bro

HG started!

so the first week of doing HG, I only worked 4 days taht week. nothing changes. I still carry home about rm20~rm30 everyday nett profit. on good days ill get slightly above rm50 back home if i get jobs at sending people to klia/klia 2...

then I doubted myself again. nothing has changed... wtf? is this it for me?
then I started to get curious the following week, I looked at my history and past earning from last week, then I SAW IT!!!

on those days that I brought home rm20~rm30 home every night, I realized I have received incentives! everyday I earned rm50++ from incentives! so from those 4 days of working, I earned rm200++ from incentives! WOW!!!

I started to smile then. I see what the sifus are talking about! so these are the LEGENDARY INCENTIVES that everyone has been talking about, that I first had the taste of!

so finally, that first week of doing HG, I started seeing a dim lightt at the end of the tunnel. before this, I got rm150++ per week, now im earning 350++ per week. im gonna learn more of this!

I started using my weekend to absorb as much information as I can, religiously while I kept bothering the sifus here with super noobish questions (sorry sifus!)

so yeah, that was my first week. My 2nd week, I did better! and I just realized something at this time...

back when I was doing FLEXI, grab kept throwing me with short distance jobs, but what I wanted was long distance jobs! thats why I kept taking so little money back home every night.

now, after I opted to HG, I started getting lots of jobs! like, really, seriously lots more jobs! from low fare to long distance jobs! before this, id be lucky to get even 6 or 7 jobs everyday. now im getting lots more!

then I realized how much of a jackass GRAB was being to me. then I remembered reading in some threads, that GRAB actually gamed their drivers with ratings/bans and even jobs... grab will throw long distance jobs to those full time HG drivers so they cant profit max from HG etc etc...

so tahts it. thats the trick. the moment I opted to HG, GRAB started spamming me with 3 or 4 times more jobs than when I was doing FLEXI! waht an asshole! AHAHHAHA

ok, entering 2nd week, Ive came to terms taht GRAB had actually farked me upside down the first 7 weeks. cuz im flexi, they threw me short distance jobs. GG Grabs... so after realizeing this, and realizing im getting more jobs now, come 2nd week, ive managed to get more jobs done, ive understood their game, and ive pretty much learned some of the do's and dont's now... lol

btw, my 2nd week of doing HG was last week aka election week. my first week of doing HG, I was earning rm500++ nett worth inclusive incentive. as for this 2nd week, let me upload this picture:

that is my weekly statement of the 2nd week im doing HG! yes, you read that right. only 2nd week!
and taht amount is only the collected money that is "registered" on GRAB!

theres also unbilled money as well from sedekah from generous riders. one time i was having a good chat with this old lady and her husband from usa and she enjoyed our chat, she actually donated rm100 to me! (she just took the money without looking, close her eyes and put it in my hand! she doesnt wanna know how much she was getting from her purse!). etc etc...

so, my total earnings from that particular week is way higher than the rm1.7k I originally stated, I jsut realized... hmm, my bad tongue.gif

this amount hasnt included amount in grabpay payment yet amounting to rm200+ just on wednesday alone! theres also unadded amount from incentive yet in here btw! now that I think back, I might have scored around rm2k or more during that 2nd week of doing HG. hmm... In any case, I might have messed up some numbers from my general recollections of how much i actually earned, so I apologized fr that! maybe I was too excited to tell you guys the good news, and I was jsut trying to recall everything off the top of my head!

btw this week is my 3rd week doing HG! blush.gif

in any case, to the guy that I asked me how is my daily schedule now, this is what im doing currently:

1. I take it as my first daily quest, to obtain rm60 for FUEL ONLY. I set that money aside as soon as I get them. I will not exceed rm60 in fuel everyday!

2. DO NOT TOUCH the money in cash wallet now matter what! (I only use those money to topup my grab wallet)

3. I make sure everyday I earn minimum nett profit rm100 (already minus fuel). If I spend some money on toll, then ill do more jobs to exceed rm100 again for that day! after I hit rm100 daily target, I will check the time, if its not 9pm yet, ill keep going till I get rm150 nett profit! (I will take my last job if its past 8:50pm or something...)

4. Once I reached home, Ill calculate my earnings. If it doesnt exceed rm150, ONLY THEN will I withdraw the money from cash wallet to topup my cash earning so it become rm150 for that day!

5. Chasing for jobs in hotspot area is fine, but heres a trick: DO NOT USE TOLL ROAD! the point is to get jobs along the way! if you use toll road, what if you already pay for toll then suddenly u got an rm5 job that requires you to exit the highway? worse, what if u had to make a u-turn? then deficit already... If u dun accept, ur AR will be affected. not to mention your CR... so my tip is, lets say ure in a cold spot, and u wanna move to subang for example that is red hot atm, set your waze to go there, but go to routes, and choose the one that doesnt go thru toll. chances are, within 5 minutes of driving to ur destination, u will get a job. just accept whatever job that is handed to you!

6. I learned the hard way that everyday, after 4pm, KL is a nightmare. so today is the first time, I earned rm150 nett profit by 6.30pm!!! trick is, after my ordeal of ragequitting early yesterday and earning only rm30+ after stuck in traffic jam in kl from morning till efternoon lol what I did was, today I became selective. Any job that headed towards KL, I mati-mati tak mau accept hahaha. It was totally worth it! today I didnt enter KL at all and I finish much faster and consumed much less fuel! (I only spent rm50 on fuel today!)

7. ATM, dont just do HG even if youre on the scheme! do both flexi and HG, but decide carefully where you wanna go and when to avoid certain places. grab has so many drivers now, that competition is crazy! you are in no position to be choosy.

8. I should probably add that im doing this grab full time atm, and I started before 7am and my deadline is 9pm everyday. I stopped at 9 cuz usually itll take me sometimes 1 hour to go back to my place.

ps: this is only my 3rd week of doing HG. as i move farther down this line, and learn more stuff, ill keep updating my progress and sharing whatever I can! THANK YOU VERY MUCH again to all the sifus taht helped me stood back up after I fell down! I owe you guys so much, you have no idea! Also I should probably mention that im only doing grab full time atm, because I will have a full time job starting august or september, maybe as early as july, who knows. Im just doing this grab to fill in the void before my full time job started! (btw my full time job I will earn less than I can potentially earn if I do grab full time lol. so Ill probably still do grab part time in the future!) rclxs0.gif

Dear Bro,

I feel sad and sorry for the situation you are facing right now. I honestly quite skeptical if someone can make good income doing Grab for full time (some even relying from Grab income to pay living cost, car loan, car maintenance, etc)
With the price hike and competition right now I would say very tough for someone to rely only on Grab.
If I were you, I will be very friendly with passenger and start having quality conversation which might lead to full time employment (we hire one of our staff for customer service because one manager ride his car and have a good conversation, found out he actually in the middle of looking for job, expecting baby in few months, used to work in call centre, etc)
- Obviously not by interviewing your passenger but more to casual discussion to widen your network and open new opportunity and knowledge for you.
If you feel your passenger not interested to have a chat or even annoyed you need to stop and not discussing it further.
- You might try offer personal chauffeur to tourist or someone visiting Malaysia on daily rate or flat rate (calculate it wisely ofcourse)
- Ask your passenger who use your personal chauffeur service to recommend to his/her family friend or relative to contact you if they want to visit Malaysia. even if they need bigger car you can rent the car.
- Make a personal business card so you can pass it incase your passenger need you in the future

It's good for you to Grab, but you will not have the benefits of full time employment. moreover the risk is quite high if anything happen to you or your vehicle.
- What if you fall sick
- What if your car need to do major maintenance
- What if your car involve in accident and unable to GRAB
you will have no income, and yet expenses is a must.

Good luck and keep fighting bro

Introduction: GRAB mistakes that I did

so when I started off doing grab, i remembered just to test the water, I did grab only for 3 days the first week. then gradually I increased the number of days, but I still try to limit my working days. if possible at least 1 week, i must rest for 1 day. usually ill take 2 days off.

so during the first month, or specifically the first 7 weeks I did GRAB, here are the mistakes that I did:

1. Everyday I spent rm20~rm30 covering up for tolls of my passenger!

*when I did uber, toll was inclusive in the fare. so when I started doing grab, imagine everyday I "subsidized" my riders for their tolll. everyday my poket bocor rm20~rm30 covering for their tolls, and they know they had to pay for tolls, but nobody even mentioned it to me. not even once! so in the end, I calculated my loss here about roughly rm500~rm700 those first 7 weeks...

2. I was on a flexi plan instead of Hourly Guarantee

*so I only learned about the existence of HG the moment I first started this thread, imagine my noobness lol...

when I was still on flexi, everyay I received jobs and I noticed that GRAB fare is much lower than uber. but the only thing that I can say is better than uber is grab has a policy of rm5 minimum fare. when doing uber, I was getting as low as 20 cents per trips (of course they reimburse the full amount later but that takes times, and my wallet is as empty as they can be. my acct was already negative at taht time, I had to borrow money from sister...)

but I noticed in incentive tab, theres incentive of cashabck from low 10% to highest 20% IF i get to drop riders as specific part at klia1 and klia 2 dafuq... imagine me doing flexi grab for 7 weeks, dropping people off at klia, and not even once those klia/klia2 cashback incentive qualified tab ever increased. it kept staying at 0... dafuq?!

I remembered before this when reading forums or from hearsay, grab players always says "main insentif, main insentif, etc etc..."

but as u guys can deduce now, from my first 7 weeks of doing grab, I have no idea how this incentive system works, probably because i never get any... and even if I get max incentive of 20% cashback from klia, imagine if I make a steady rm200~rm300 back then, my cashback would only be rm20~rm40++ every week PROVIDED IF I actually scored it, in which case, I never did...

so imagine the depression I was having at this time, with lower fare than uber, almost non existent incentives, my debt stacking up, my maxis main number already barred cuz I havent paid bills for 2 months, (I have that smartphone maxisone oackage so i am paying rm300+ per month), my house bill is overdue 1 month even tho I just rented the place for 3 months, and to top it off, back then my income was a steady rm500+ nett profit working my ass off from 7am till 11pm, 6 days a week...

imagine me giving fake smiles to riders saying i must be making lots of money doing grab full time, but only I know the truth that I only can barely make rm1500 every month! and my meals everyday is below pathetic! those gardenia bread are staple food.

I remembered 1 night I actually lost it, while eating my gradenia with leftover mineral water in my car, I just started crying for a long time. I was sobbing like a child that lost his favorite toy. I was totally heartbroken and helpless. That night was the night I hit rock bottom, when I decided this is it... theres no future for me doing grab.

thats about 2 or 3 nights before I opened this thread. I stopped doing grab for a couple days after that night. I had already lost my will.

I Got Back Up Again

after I opened this thread, I saw the usual /k/ bs in here as well, thats totally normal. then some of the sifus here actually started asking me questions that I have no answers to, such as the jargons they used: MP/UP/P and HG, Time Blocs and Incentives etc etc

with more questions being asked at me, more questions arose from their questions to me in my head, so I started researching again and kept asking in here, then the sifus 1 by 1 started helping me (probably they realized I wasnt exaggerating and wasnt kidding about my bad predicament... and probably they realized at taht time I really didnt know anything, which was true lol)

everyone is still adamant talking about incentives and calculating and showing their spreadsheets of making rm20~rm30 clean profit per hour (whilst I was making clean rm20+ profits every night before bed working from 7am till 11pm everyday, seriously, imagine how I was feeling back then... its like these sifus are throwing salt in my gaping wound, only thing is they dun realized theyre doing it lol)

So I decided. Im gonna play whatever games these sifus are playing. Im gonna try this and give grab 1 more chance. I started researching HG. the next morning I called grab customer service. the person who answered my call was super helpful (probably because it was so early in the morning), he explained to me everything that is to know about HG. and he kept scolding me too, telling me adamantly and specifically that FLEXI plan is for PART TIMER who works according to their mood, while HOURLY GUARANTEE is for FULL TIMER! (imagine how dumbfounded i was ahahaha)... so the guy arranged for my transfer to HG from flexi, but he told me this part is most important:

** In order to opt in to HG from FLEXI, you must do the application between monday~wednesday every week before 12pm on wednesday. after that the application to transfer for that week is closed, and then you need to wait for next week.

IF your application is a SUCCESS, it will only happen on FRIDAY of that same week, BUT it wont be activated yet in your grab driver apps that you have changed to HG. it will still remain as flexi. you will only have your HG started of the following week on MONDAY!

but he also told me, in order to opt in to HG, GRAB HQ will do assessment to your behavior whether youre qualified to opt in to HG or not. they will assess you from your acceptance rating, your activeness (days youre working every week), and your cancellation rate. lastly they will see your star ranking, it must be above 4.8 or was it 4.7? I forgot...

so after I learned about that, I opted to change to HG. to make sure I pass their test, I kept doing what Ive been doing kaw kaw that particular week even tho im still eating gardenia, im still making about rm20~rm30 nett profit everyday, I kept on going for that 1 last week!

so next monday arrives, and I jumped in joy and I remembered shouting happiliy that I got my status changed to HG now haha

(but I didnt start wrking immediately that monday. I took another day off and decided im gonna do more homework and learn more about grabs from reading the official grab thread that someone directed me to read in this forum. I did exactly that!)

Thank you for writing and sharing your ups and downs, your sorrow but later, happiness. Thank you for answering and helping others with their enquiries. Please don't stop sharing and helping others bcos you know how bad it is when you down and out with no one to turn to. Help them to bcum terror like you... Hahaha... thumbsup.gif

The first week of puasa have many challenges and trophies. From surges, raining, buka puasa and KLIA red dot most of the time. Did you change any of your grab routines for Puasa? Any tips to share? Driver who works as hard as you sure have stories to tell. Most of us have never experienced Puasa time grab... hmm.gif

The scattered green in grab map is a lot of meaning for a lot of drivers. Sum1 complain no ping even though sum others say ping non stop... Depends on the area and hour you work but also depend on the driver + Grab system. Last Saturday I manage to score RM100 incen only from 9am to 3pm and suddenly for sunday, grab start throwing me all Rm20 and above fares (just to make sure I dun earn anymore incen). I'm sure the place I camp got bilis but no. Did you encountered similar experience? icon_idea.gif

i noticed some patterns too! (but let me go thru the week first before I jump to a hypothesis haha)

for once, traffic jams is a sure thing in kl, nothing new bout that. but ping seems to be a bit lesser now. I noticed I got more ping going to kl from outside kl, than from inside kl to elsewhere... but then again, due to bad experience on saturday, when despite nothing happening, kl is packed and jammed all day, I decided Im gonna try my best to avoid kl temporarily. and another thing, because muslims woke up super early during fasting month, expect traffic jams as early as 6am. From where I live, I can see the highway clearly cuz my room is facing it, and I noticed the volume of cars entering highway to go to KL is super crazy, too early in the morning... to day I actually decided to start work late because of that, from 9am instead of 7am lol

I dunno about you guys, but I think the ping from inside KL might be slightly less frequent atm during fasting month, probably cuz the muslims arent going out to eat. I talked with some office workers, they told me their muslims colleague just find someplace to rest and have an afternoon siesta instead.

regarding the KLIA thing, I only noticed the red dots on it today! I noticed its been red most of the time, peak hour or not. I wonder why...

so far, the only thing I have planned to change is if im gonna take jobs from KL, I make sure the final hour Im still in KL is 2pm the latest. after that Im gonna prowl around the outskirts for those short trips, then finally head to area closer to seri kembangan where i live. and only take jobs from there afterward (or depending on income, stop for the day and prowl pasar ramadhan hehe) but for now, give me the whole week to learn the pattern hehe. Ive only got till the 8th to work and collect funds, after that ill go back to my hometown in Kuching until after raya to celebrate tongue.gif

in any case, Ill keep updating latest finds in here~
please share useful info too if you discover anything ya? we still need as much help as possible haha

Hi all,

Glad I stumbled on to this thread, quite inspiring read.
I lost my job at the ripe old age of 52, sigh.

I read either register direct with Grab, or Ambassador or Alpha driver?
Which is best, hassle free and fastest can start driving?

Appreciate any advise. TQ.

The best and fastest is thru an Alpha. In my case it was 24 hours. First get ready all your documents, submit to the alpha. Answer 20 questions online after viewing tutorial and within 24 hours can start driving. I submitted my documents and answered the online questions on Sunday and by Monday I started driving. All done online and by phone and whatsapp. I've never met him in person. confused.gif

Anybody can register but the trick is to get the right amount of support via the unofficial line not CS. An Alpha should have a whatsapp group for his downline, from there we help each other and share all things about grab. I am satisfied with my alpha. Either he or the others will answer all my question and settle my fears about driving grab in the first week. bruce.gif

Your thread is fast becoming the refer all by newbie. Your story is inspirational to others. I must admit the first time I read your thread title, I was thinking that you, TS, is asking how to get tips (as in money) from the riders. After a few post from TS only then I realize not Tips (money) but Tips as in how to grab. cool2.gif

I think you learned all the basic of Grab already. The advanced level is next but its involved a bit of trickery, a bit of bending rules but not break and a bit of creative solving method. whistling.gif

I hope TS can cope with the sudden fame and brand new title "SIFU"... Hehehe... brows.gif

to TS, since now is fasting month, patterns are ever changing.

if conditions are to mimic last year's fasting month, these should happen soon:
1) drivers gantung kunci (take short leave) to prepare for Raya, thus more demand, more high fare. especially true during 3rd & 4th week of fasting.
2) school holiday starts 9th June onwards. plan your drive.
3) higher number of people going towards KLIA from 9th June, peaking 3-4 days before Raya itself. or at the very least, people heading towards KL Sentral or TBS.
4) you might get jobs towards SOGO/Jalan TAR/Kenanga etc from 3rd week fasting. it might be heaven or hell, trying to get in/out of the area. Let experience guide you on this.

btw, I'm only a part-time. doing Grab on weekends, or public holidays. but still, I can still earn HG since I still comply with the requirements to earn incentive brows.gif

I still remember exactly on the Raya day, within 5 hours I get RM400 gross fare. Fare are around 30-50+ per trip.
I still remember I was so stupid to accept airport trip, coz it remained RM65. although some show me they have high fare for klia trip.
Too bad this Raya I have things to do, unable to drives.

wew nice story you had. i've read them all since i also being fired last month and jobless for 1+month

now im eyeing on doing grab. but didnt have any car. so im looking to rent first. what you think?

im looking for bezza or myvi. maybe cost about 400-450 per week.

is it worth it? i try to do grab at usj21 area. since i can rent at there (friends house).
*
Think carefully before u enter this, One month rental would cost u 1600-1800, house rental 300-400. That two will cost u 2000 at least.

For a full timer, one can earn maybe 1.5k net per week, depending on the hours u drive.

But then u must remember one thing, u can face suspension by Grab anytime if u violate the rules, there is no security on this job.

You must've been one of those who bought tickets way early during AA sales. Can't do much then.

But if you're up for it, try to extend your driving hours a bit more during the last few days before your flight back home.

my own record for your reference.
Location - Penang, Kayuh time - 5-8PM , started at 89KM and reach home 163KM, 74KM traveled for 3 hours kayuh.

Penang is also having massive jam after working hours which fall on my kayuh time, so averagely i will only able to complete 2 trips per hour, rare but some times 3 trips within the block.

2HP and 1UP for 5-8pm, completed 7 trips with fare RM65 + Incentive RM32 = RM97 Gross for 3 hours job

-25% and the final amount i take home is about RM72.75, roughly 98cents / KM for my case.
1 liter of petrol can allow me to travel about 12KM according to my car's odometer, so i assume the petrol consumption 74KM/12KM = 6.16L x RM2.20 (today's petrol price per liter) = RM13.55

RM72.75-RM13.55 = RM59~ not included car maintenance and Tyre usage.

hope it helps biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Haha this describes why i rather work alone than step in MLM😄😄✌✌

I got no alpha. I research myself. I register myself. I take test myself. I go verify documents myself. All within 2 days.😄😄✌✌No alpha and shit.😎😎😎😎I salute that malay abang able 2 trap 600+ drivers under him last year.

How i know? Because i went 2 the grab awards ceremony on CNY month. So this type of MLM malay easier 2 succeed.👏👏👏👏

Overall i still rather work alone. Ala rambo. Ala dirty harry. They are my one-man-show inspirators. Hahahaha.

guys, heres an update I forgot to mention:

I dunno about you guys, but I personally will never ever accept job if it is GrabShare. even if I accept it, Ill cancel it immediately later depending on how much AR I have atm lol

its not worth doing guys. imagine driving 1 hour for an rm10 jobs. just dont do it.
also, 99% of the time, u will never get matched. which means, ure stuck with minimal pay for driving long distance.

Blue screen ping and ignore? For low fare is confirm laa... how bout rm50 higher fare GS (that mean got surge). Do you still ignore or cancel? laugh.gif

Puasa ping is crazy huh? Start to red from 4pm and slowly died out till 8pm. But you about to end your shift. Do you adjust your sau kung hours to accommodate and take advantage of all that grab map red seas? hmm.gif

Since I only pt at night. I find my surge at sogo area. it is a hit or miss kinda thing. If I can still manouvre to pu and dop and complete 3 or 4 trip with surge, I am content already. icon_rolleyes.gif

Please use your cancel wisely. Since rider no show cr no raise feature, grab start to look closely to cr of drivers. I personally use cancel outside of pu area if really2 the situation calls for it. Eg: Rider being impatient and rude in grab sms, or rider wants to carry the whole pasaraya, wet and dry, inside your car for RM5 ride or 4 and more riders from construction site with dirty boots and muddy clothes wanna go in and rape your car cushion and mat. doh.gif

first of all, salute to fellow GRAB drivers out there.

I have quite a bit of dilemma doing GRAB. ive been doing this for the past 3 months, full time, and I'm seeing a worrying pattern to my income. I thought I might be doing something wrong, because my own experience and what I read over the internet and hearsay taht people can easily makes clean income nett profit above rm3k per month by doing GRAB.

so my daily routine is usually like this, and my expenses.
I started working from 9am and I usually do it till 9 or 10pm everyday. Sometimes I take 1 day off every week, sometimes none at all.

Expenses:
RM80+ Everyday Fuel
RM50 Everyday for GRAB Cash topup
RM20~RM30 Toll
RM20~RM30 Miscellaneous (food/tidbits)

other miscellaneous costs not included like phone bills/cleaning/car maintenance/tyres etc...

So this is pretty much my daily expenses doing GRAB from 9am~9 or 10pm everyday

with the RM50 topup, I can make RM210~RM250 gross salary everyday. Minus my expenses, I bring home less than RM50 home everyday nett profit.
At this rate I'm getting around RM1.5 only nett profit every month working my ass off everyday from morning to night with no life.
Ive heard other drivers bragging that this isnt the case and theyre making much more money than me.

Please, I beg of anyone that can help me. what am I doing wrong? How can I improve myself? I desperately need to improve... Im seriously at a loss.

Dude how can u be making 250/day with rm80 petrol? Does not make sense at all.

U shud be making rm 500-600 gross in 3 days with rm80 petrol.

Its either ur car is a fuel guzzler or u are doing too many rm5 trips. Rm5 trips waste ur fuel .

Just tell me, rm80 worth of fuel, how many kms can u jalan?

And also, how can u include tolls into ur expenses? Tolls are charged to customers!

Assuming rm80/2.20 gives u 36 L

36L * 13km/L gives u 468.

If u have driven 468km, how can ur gross be 250/day?

Grabs rates are always more than the distance covered.

A 5km trip will be roughly RM8-9
A 10km trip will be rm14-rm16

So i dont understand how u can be getting 250 gross perday with 80 fuel/day.

So assuming u have driven 400km(highly unlikely)a day which are with fare paying passengers.

400km* 1.3(average markup by grab) = rm520

U shud be at least getting rm520 gross for every rm80 fuel spent.

If u are indeed getting 250 gross means

1. U waste alot of petrol idling or empty trips
2. Ur car is thirsty
3. U waste alot petrol doing rm5 trips.
4. Dont waste time doing incentives. Not worth it at all.

To get those big incentives u need to drive during peak hours which is usually very jam and u need to accept almost every trip that comes in.

So u waste alot of petrol during jam hours

I have already done calculation, do purely fares and surge fares are the best. Incentives is to con u to make sure u online during jam hours and go to jam places.

Not worth to do.

Thanks for the help.

I'm not based in Klang, I'm based in Kuching. I just confirmed that for Kuching drivers no need opt-in, its automatic.

The reason I didn't get incentives yesterday is because my rides already more expensive than the incentives haha.

Ya, just now I drove 2MP and 2 UP, earned rm54 total in 2 hours. Kuching fares are a lot lower than Klang it seems. Airport trip 20+ km only rm18.

oooo I didnt know u cover Johor haha. yeah I didnt work today. I had mental fatigue after so many days working endlessly lol. Tbh, I was really scared a bit when I read the news. Just not too long ago I had an ordeal when for a week I cannot work cuz of the document check from uber thinghy, now this. seriously I think the government is doing this wrong. Instead of asking taxi driver where grab did wrong, they should ask citizens why did they stopped taking taxis. Only then will the truth be revealed, and we absolutely have no contributions at all to their demise. taxi drivers dug their own grave for being an organized gangster group like pekida yo.

NOOOOOOOOO lol... not everyday got raining gold la hahaha
but I tried to make sure at least im making RM300 gross eevryday, or RM200 minimum nett profit biggrin.gif

on bad day, I returned to my baseline RM150 nett profit for that day. incentive-wise, I dont count on it. If I get it, I get it, if not, what to do haha. I just consider it as a bonus tbh tongue.gif
I was just working hard because I spent my money during raya lol. I have an army of nieces and nephews XD... I returned to KL late too because flight ticket became super expensive, so I was lagging behind on bills. I worked 1 week like a zombie so I could cover my rent. Now im taking some rest hahaha

Congratulation on making a turnaround! I actually read every single posts in this thread and it's been helpful and motivation to me since I am a new Grab driver as well.
Any tips on what accessorises you provided in your car or what you did during the rider with rider so that they will rate you 5 star?

My DR has been between 4.5-4.7 which will disqualify me from HG, so I need help. cry.gif
Tried to strike short conversation with riders but mostly prefer to be quiet or just short replies. I am trying to improve myself in making conversation as well.

iTS GOOD TO SEE OUR COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCES IN HERE IS PROving beneficial to new drivers!
I drive a basic saga blm, everything is original and vanilla lol. the only upgrade I put for my car is a good tinted that I installed during raya promotion.
most of the time, riders just wanna get to their destination. it doesnt matter what you have as car accessories.

as for conversation or social interactions, my only advice is to try to test the waters first with conversation starter such as the traffic, weather, or god forbid, politics lol. from there you can move on and decide whether rider is interested in chatting or not.
sometimes u can see the rider is tired and they sit at the back or next to you. if theyre not responding well to conversation dont force them. along the ride, sneak a peek at them and assess the situation. if they look sleepy and wanted to rest, turn down the volume of your radio. start to drive a bit slowly. drive in a way that wont wake your rider up when they fall asleep. keep in mind that as a driver, work-wise or not, your passengers life is literally in your hands. have some responsibility.

as for rating, heres a newsflash I learnt the hard way lol. my rating has gone down for as low as 4.86 the lowest, but I noticed this happens only when Im taking breaks from work for extended time, like 1 week or 2 weeks (like during that raya period)...
also, keep in mind that theres always a passenger that rated you maybe 1 star, but sometimes its not because of you. they rated you 1 star because they hated grab company in general i.e pricy fare, slow pickup, even bad traffic on the road they will blame you.
just keep in mind that these kinds of things happened. life isnt fair. but remember, we in the service industry gets better with tolerance and patience. theres a reason why people chose grab than taxi, keep up the standard, and youll be good to go.

oh also, you should be able to earn at least several hundred a week, investing a mere RM10 to clean outside and inside your car once per week wont dent your wallet. just a little advice lol

if theres anything else that I missed, or can help, do ask. try not to pm me or anyone in here, because like how it happened to you, I hope by keeping our discussion open to public, itll help more drivers in the future. they can learn from our experience in here smile.gif

I started in GRAB the hard way and all alone, no support, nothing. as from what you can read from the thread. so I learnt most of my experience the hard way. but I learnt them all nonetheless lol

Congratulation on making a turnaround! I actually read every single posts in this thread and it's been helpful and motivation to me since I am a new Grab driver as well.
Any tips on what accessorises you provided in your car or what you did during the rider with rider so that they will rate you 5 star?

My DR has been between 4.5-4.7 which will disqualify me from HG, so I need help.  cry.gif
Tried to strike short conversation with riders but mostly prefer to be quiet or just short replies. I am trying to improve myself in making conversation as well.

do you turn on radio while doing Grab?
if yes, which station? and did you change radio station according to their profile?

fuck the riders lol. I listen to any station I wanna listen to lol

most of the time I tune in to lite, cuz driving for long hours listening to "modern" music can be quite stressful. lite at least has real music from the golden eras yo.

at certain intervals, I changed station and listen to news. depending on the news, Ill raise the volume. this usually how a conversation started between me and the riders. afterwards, its just soft skills smile.gif

iTS GOOD TO SEE OUR COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCES IN HERE IS PROving beneficial to new drivers!
I drive a basic saga blm, everything is original and vanilla lol. the only upgrade I put for my car is a good tinted that I installed during raya promotion.
most of the time, riders just wanna get to their destination. it doesnt matter what you have as car accessories.

as for conversation or social interactions, my only advice is to try to test the waters first with conversation starter such as the traffic, weather, or god forbid, politics lol. from there you can move on and decide whether rider is interested in chatting or not.
sometimes u can see the rider is tired and they sit at the back or next to you. if theyre not responding well to conversation dont force them. along the ride, sneak a peek at them and assess the situation. if they look sleepy and wanted to rest, turn down the volume of your radio. start to drive a bit slowly. drive in a way that wont wake your rider up when they fall asleep. keep in mind that as a driver, work-wise or not, your passengers life is literally in your hands. have some responsibility.

as for rating, heres a newsflash I learnt the hard way lol. my rating has gone down for as low as 4.86 the lowest, but I noticed this happens only when Im taking breaks from work for extended time, like 1 week or 2 weeks (like during that raya period)...
also, keep in mind that theres always a passenger that rated you maybe 1 star, but sometimes its not because of you. they rated you 1 star because they hated grab company in general i.e pricy fare, slow pickup, even bad traffic on the road they will blame you.
just keep in mind that these kinds of things happened. life isnt fair. but remember, we in the service industry gets better with tolerance and patience. theres a reason why people chose grab than taxi, keep up the standard, and youll be good to go.

oh also, you should be able to earn at least several hundred a week, investing a mere RM10 to clean outside and inside your car once per week wont dent your wallet. just a little advice lol

if theres anything else that I missed, or can help, do ask. try not to pm me or anyone in here, because like how it happened to you, I hope by keeping our discussion open to public, itll help more drivers in the future. they can learn from our experience in here smile.gif

I started in GRAB the hard way and all alone, no support, nothing. as from what you can read from the thread. so I learnt most of my experience the hard way. but I learnt them all nonetheless lol

Thanks for the advice! I will definitely try it out to see if there any improvements! notworthy.gif

Music or sounds - I downloaded from youtube the calmness and relaxing sounds of nature or instruments. Those music is for me and for the rider for not feeling agitated from the jam or negative feeling. Sounds of birds, waterfall and slow pace music does help me in relaxing me and not to get anxious while driving. It works for me but maybe not for you bcos maybe can put you to sleep. laugh.gif

I got a few riders who wanted me to change the sound/music with the reason - "The music is putting me to sleep" biggrin.gif

DR.... Well... put it this way.... If steadily rise .01 day by day, that is just the system averaging your 5 star for the 100 last ride... The one you have to worry is minus .02. That means sum1 rated you 1 star in the last 72 hours rides. ohmy.gif

hahahaha what shyghost said is totally true XD

anyway I will gantung kunci temporarily from tomorrow. I kena surprise buttsecks at gotong haha

gotta go to workshop and repair my bumper. thankfully cuz im the victim, I can claim insurance biggrin.gif

I learned a super important piece of knowledfe today when conversing with the traffic officer at IPD.

if you intend to claim insurance during accident, make sure that nowhere in the report says youre transporting a rider. just say u have no passenger, done deal. if insurance knows u had accident when transporting passenger, no claim for you. bye bye lol... this is because ur insurance is personal, if accident happens when youre transporting passenger, it becomes commercial. hope this helps guys!

**edit: if you wanna make insurance claim, do not mention GRAB/UBER/E-HAILING of any kind whatsoever that in any way suggest a nature of service. if occupation is full time driver, just say ure unemployed or penjual burger or whatever. nothing that can link you to grab or e-hailing. Im lucky my guy can settle everything ahhaha

dont think drivers calculate that as well.
since there's no recorded data on:
1) how far from driver current place to pickup location. but if you want to assume the worst, let's put 5km pickup distance per incoming job request.
2) engine idle/driver idle duration when waiting for next ping
3) engine idle when stuck in jam, or queuing for toll

a better calculation would be how many bucks earned per hour, excluding maintenance & fuel. mine's at RM12-RM21/hr.

With Artak permission, I lay down my target daily and weekly. I say target/dream... not confirm sure doubledown 7 days in a week get okie.... cool2.gif

Daily Mon to Fri is RM100 fare + RM50 incen. Driving hours 6pm - 11pm Fuel 10 liters innocent.gif

Sat is RM300 fare + RM100 incen Driving 12 hours Fuel 15 liters. Sunday same like Saturday target. devil.gif

If I get more is a bonus and if I get less then it is just normal mehhh day. Well some days I spent all fuel cost and some days I got leftovers from yesterday. I just take it as what it is. Others can earn more or better mileage but this is what I can achieve most of the days. No KLIA trip involved, just normal fare + surge if lucky. icon_rolleyes.gif

So, weekly theoretically is 500 + 600 = 1100 fare only and every Wednesday is 250 + 200 = 450 incen bank in. But... rarely weekdays so good ngam2 with weekend superb one... must be a few days got spanar or some weekdays good but weekend koyak... others days I score good fare but then my incen zero pulak... if you know what I mean? sweat.gif

All is gross and please minus commission + maintenance + installments + fuel cost to get nett icon_rolleyes.gif

Cannot compare to FT Artak lorr.... He got a lot more time and $$$ and he Sifu Legend status got extra 6star in his DR rating... Hahaha.... (How is your car repair, dude? How many days goyang kaki, oredi?) bruce.gif

im finally a bit free haha...

apparently theres more and more new grab driver registering these days.

To those who have been motivated by this thread I made with a totally different reason in the first place, to what it is right now - kudos to you guys hahaha

if theres any questions at all, feel free to ask in here. I received a lot of pm's asking for tips or just general questions, but I always redirect everyone back to this thread.

the thing is, just like you yourself, if whatever it is that we discussed in here have directly or indirectly influenced or help you in doing grab more efficiently, I would like to keep it that way. I prefer we keep all communications in here so that whatever current issues that we discussed, it will benefit future drivers biggrin.gif

I had a bad start yesterday. Started the day off with my phone barred, cuz I forgot to pay the bills lol. I had to get back inside and wait till 10am for malls to open so I can pay up bills. what a waste of time lol

I officially started job at 11am yesterday but due to other reasons, I had to quit early with a nett profit of rm20 around 5pm. ah well...

today morning, My first trip was to KLIA. I shouted for joy lol. first trip already got RM65 XD

Once I reached KLIA, for the first time ever, I got ANOTHER trip from KLIA to Kajang! Thats another RM65 consecutively! So I took the guy out to to his hotel, and what do you know, once he got there he told me hes got no money lol. Hes got only Euro currency in his wallet, and the time was like 8.30am...

so I just decided Id help him go to a currency exchange place, but not after I "dropped" him off first at the hotel on grab apps. so we started moving back and forth looking for currency exchange, then helped him get a local sim card, set it up, take him to breakfast because he said he w to thank me, yada yada...

so, about 10am or so, I already made RM200 clean profit or so minus petrol. that guy also gave me some tip for helping him on top of the grab fare hehe

Today started off great, and I decided im gonna take a break for today, and for once, im gonna take it easy... maybe ill go to buy some grocery shopping or so haha

how have you guys been? for the new drivers, any trouble so far? btw, I have tip, or maybe not tip. just a guy I can call and share his contact info with you guys in case you guys are involved with any road accident while doing grab (or during personal drive)...

this guy helped me last time when I was hit from behind on highway while doing grab and the guy destroyed my bumper. totalled it... What I did was make a police report, and leave the rest to him. I only spoke to him once, when Im giving him all the necessary documents on friday. saturday/sunday off day, on tuesday I already got call from workshop telling me my car has finished repairs and urged me to go get it. I bullshit you not guys, the guy helped me claim insurance and sent my car to a workshop that does this claim, and I got my car back less than a week! (or technically, just in 2 days because were only counting working days)

I believe him. but I also know driving for that long hours is extremely taxing.

also, if u look around singapore stomp site, u will find out they have a lot of issues with grab/uber driver. extreme regulations, harassments, whatnot.

Not too sure where to post, saw this news at Yahoo News section. Grab Driver challenge himself to work 24 hours and earn SGD 912, from the 59 jobs he took.

Vlog about his progress can view here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/prodriverin...49426042222831/

News source from here: https://sg.news.yahoo.com/grab-driver-chall...-030321825.html

Maybe all you need to do is rent a car in SG, work 3-4 full days = your malaysia 1 months income already biggrin.gif

That amount is fare, not earning.
Also, bear in mind that petrol is more expensive in Singapore.

Toll is manually input by the driver not the Apps. Only Uber will include toll by itself.

hey there. my advice if youve already got a steady thing going on for you, dont throw it away too simply. grab might be profitable, but grab doesnt give you security as much as what a steady career can give you. try to do it as part time first, instead of jumping on it all the way. test the water first. take it from me, I fell hard on rock bottom first few months I did grab. these peoples and sifus helped me get back on my feet and for that im eternally thankful. grab is profitable as a temporary source of income, but just remember, the administration can afford to slash off any driver if they feel like it.

well, they are pros and cons, but in case, make you decision wisely. whatever you choose, im sure you have a strong motivation and reason as to why you make the decision that you will make, be it a life crossroads, or simply familial obligation. all the best to you! biggrin.gif

Thanks for the words of encouragement bro. To me at this point in my life I think its time for a change. Yeah I can see that the life of a grabber can be unsteady. Lets see how things go. Will definitely update here as I start my journey. Hope things are going well for you now as well!

first of all, salute to fellow GRAB drivers out there.

I have quite a bit of dilemma doing GRAB. ive been doing this for the past 3 months, full time, and I'm seeing a worrying pattern to my income. I thought I might be doing something wrong, because my own experience and what I read over the internet and hearsay taht people can easily makes clean income nett profit above rm3k per month by doing GRAB.

so my daily routine is usually like this, and my expenses.
I started working from 9am and I usually do it till 9 or 10pm everyday. Sometimes I take 1 day off every week, sometimes none at all.

Expenses:
RM80+ Everyday Fuel
RM50 Everyday for GRAB Cash topup
RM20~RM30 Toll
RM20~RM30 Miscellaneous (food/tidbits)

other miscellaneous costs not included like phone bills/cleaning/car maintenance/tyres etc...

So this is pretty much my daily expenses doing GRAB from 9am~9 or 10pm everyday

with the RM50 topup, I can make RM210~RM250 gross salary everyday. Minus my expenses, I bring home less than RM50 home everyday nett profit.
At this rate I'm getting around RM1.5 only nett profit every month working my ass off everyday from morning to night with no life.
Ive heard other drivers bragging that this isnt the case and theyre making much more money than me.

Please, I beg of anyone that can help me. what am I doing wrong? How can I improve myself? I desperately need to improve... Im seriously at a loss.

Over the past several days, many customers have responded to the frequent chauffeur canceled trip, causing many inconvenience.

Thu Ngan - a frequent customer who uses Grabcar to travel, said: "Recently, I have been in a situation where drivers pick up hoes and I do not know why they are not picking up passengers and not canceling their trips. wait, there are more than 30 minutes waiting. Put back to the third time when the car is late in the evening.

Another customer named Hai said: "One day I catch 3 trip to meet the driver 'funny'. On the 6-minute position, the driver calls for about 20 minutes to wait. I told him not to wait for him to cancel the trip, the driver told me 'you destroy, you can not destroy'. Finally, I choose to call a traditional taxi to.

Ms. Ngan said that since Uber "disappeared", Grab no longer "rivals" in the market for car array so the quality of service is somewhat down, less competitive. Meanwhile, some other applications are born cheaper and quality of service is much more focused but the number of drivers is too small.

Similarly, Hai said that if the market has "big hands" as rivals, certainly Grab will have to pay more attention to improving service quality not to be "lament" as much as now .

On Grab's official fanpage, a series of trip cancellation responses are reflected drastically. Many customers said that many drivers after receiving a visit to pay Grabpay is not welcome. Especially, although actively remove the hoe but many drivers "demand" customers cancel instead of self-cancel to avoid "minus points" from Grab.

In a recent announcement, Grab acknowledged, "In the past, you may have encountered a situation where you have been asked to cancel a trip from a driver's partner. Grab understand that this sometimes affects your travel plans, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. "

For me, i like my rider seat at the back, especially women. Because its very awkward to see my side mirror. Plus im driving manual car. Almost 80% when i put in into first gear. It will hit rider knee. Pffftttt.

thats not a matter of etiquette, really. personally I prefer my passenger to sit in front. usually when they sit at the back, thats an indicator that theyd like some privacy, so during that trip u dont have to force yourself to make conversation with them.

also, its not awkward at all to look at side mirror with your passenger there haha. just a matter of perspective. because personally I prefer being able to look at my chat partner when conversing.

what he actually meant was, if you start early, god's willing you will get passenger during that time too so it doesnt matter when you start to work. because the more working hours you put in, the more money you can earn. thats all.

Hi,

Im new to Grab (used to drive Uber before this).
I just opted in to Grab since end of September 2018. As I read some articles online, there are two types of incentives :- flexi and HG.

I'm fall into the flexi type of incentives. As I read this thread u found that the host has changed from flexi to HG and maximise earning after that.
May I know whether new driver like me also can opt-in to the HG type incentives??

I have a full time job. I usually drive from 6pm (after work) to 10 or 11pm frm Monday to Friday, then full day on Saturday I am a lady driver

Looking forward sifus reply on this. Thank you =)

I'm very sorry, Ms. The option to change Flexi to HG have been close for good a few months ago. For Flexi player... aim for higher fares.. RM10 above and stay in busy area. On AA and get pickup bonus.

NO... not true at all... to achieve this gross you need to learn the ropes. Like how TS learn... slowly and thru self experience with the right guidance. If you drive grab like how TS drive daily without any pointers previously... be prepare to be disappointed.

hello and welcome to e-hailing, I guess... (its not too late to turn back now, seriously...)
but since youre just doing grab as part time, then its fine haha

I have no idea about now. I have heard hearsay about people saying these days theres no more HG for newer players in the field. only flexi is left. I dunno whether its true or not tho...
try to ask in the official thread, maybe theres some alphas who knows more about it there.

being a part timer on weekend is a very good idea!
starting friday after work, saturday and sunday every week, you can earn enough to at least pay 1 month rent or car monthly installment! (you will be able to get rm1,000 clean profit MINIMUM every month if you do it 3 days a week)

of course, you can always get more, but dont forget you have life as well. spend time to socialize too! smile.gif

people usually forgot the small blessings in life until the day come when they lost those blessings. trust me, because ive learnt those the hard way blush.gif

umm... a monthly comitmen of rm5.6k monthly is kinda high...
its possible to achieve that target while doing grab, but remember. you have life. before you know it, your inner self will be screaming for some you time.
and you wont always be healthy everyday you know... you need to take into account your variables too, such as weather, your health, your family, unexpected damage, road accident can happen too, being robbed (shit happens)...
another thing that people might never mentioned, is you might sooner or later need to setup appoinment with chiropractor or other specialists. im just saying its not always greener on the other side...

also, like how the other sifus used to taught me back then, there will come a day when youre doing grab, that from the start of the day, grab threw wrench at you. a series of unfortunate events will happen. punctured tires, no ping, cibai riders, rider bawak kambing masuk kereta, rider mabuk, holier than thou individuals, too many to count from... its rare, but these kinds of days does happen, and you must be mentally prepared for when it happens.

im not trying to scare you, im talking through experience. trust me when I said, when I started, I had 0 knowledge. 0 expectations. I jumped in headfirst into trouble. one time I even transported gang members who openly reload their pistol in my car. even gave me their contact saying if anything happened, contact them. they were nice enuf to even tip me handsomely back then, even spoke politely all the way... too many things have happened that I never mentioned in here. its not like lyn forum is my diary lol... just wanna remind you to make sure youre absolutely sure that you can press yourself to the extremes.

Hi, 

Im new to Grab (used to drive Uber before this).
I just opted in to Grab since end of September 2018. As I read some articles online, there are two types of incentives :- flexi and HG.

I'm fall into the flexi type of incentives. As I read this thread u found that the host has changed from flexi to HG and maximise earning after that. 
May I know whether new driver like me also can opt-in to the HG type incentives??

I have a full time job.  I usually drive from 6pm (after work) to 10 or 11pm frm Monday to Friday, then full day on Saturday  I am a lady driver 

Looking forward sifus reply on this.  Thank you =)

im not trying to scare you, im talking through experience. trust me when I said, when I started, I had 0 knowledge. 0 expectations. I jumped in headfirst into trouble. one time I even transported gang members who openly reload their pistol in my car. even gave me their contact saying if anything happened, contact them. they were nice enuf to even tip me handsomely back then, even spoke politely all the way... too many things have happened that I never mentioned in here. its not like lyn forum is my diary lol... just wanna remind you to make sure youre absolutely sure that you can press yourself to the extremes.

Alamak....I am a uni student, currently on sem break and wanna join grab few weeks later ( after my exam) but jus realized HG is not available anymore...

I finished all 15 pages in this thread, and I noticed that a forumer mentioned if work as flexi, just accept high fare, is that how we earn as flexi ???

Hopefully sifu can guide me hehe

My target is not high, not like 5-6k a month , just 2-3k a month, willing to work from morning to evening ( since it's sem break laugh.gif ) , doable for me ??

Young man, I don't encourage you to spend too much time doing Grab.

If you have money, go for 1 month backpacking trip.

Also, pick up a skill which will benefit you for the next 20 years.

Grab will not need human drivers by 2025...

first of all, salute to fellow GRAB drivers out there.

I have quite a bit of dilemma doing GRAB. ive been doing this for the past 3 months, full time, and I'm seeing a worrying pattern to my income. I thought I might be doing something wrong, because my own experience and what I read over the internet and hearsay taht people can easily makes clean income nett profit above rm3k per month by doing GRAB.

so my daily routine is usually like this, and my expenses.
I started working from 9am and I usually do it till 9 or 10pm everyday. Sometimes I take 1 day off every week, sometimes none at all.

Expenses:
RM80+ Everyday Fuel
RM50 Everyday for GRAB Cash topup
RM20~RM30 Toll
RM20~RM30 Miscellaneous (food/tidbits)

other miscellaneous costs not included like phone bills/cleaning/car maintenance/tyres etc...

So this is pretty much my daily expenses doing GRAB from 9am~9 or 10pm everyday

with the RM50 topup, I can make RM210~RM250 gross salary everyday. Minus my expenses, I bring home less than RM50 home everyday nett profit.
At this rate I'm getting around RM1.5 only nett profit every month working my ass off everyday from morning to night with no life.
Ive heard other drivers bragging that this isnt the case and theyre making much more money than me.

Please, I beg of anyone that can help me. what am I doing wrong? How can I improve myself? I desperately need to improve... Im seriously at a loss.

I extremely encourage doiing grab part time as a supplementary income.

Just joined grab for over a week. Planning to eventually go into premium and doing this part time before work around 7am to 9am and then after work plus weekends.

Is it a better idea to turn on auto accept during peak hours or during non peak hours? However if dun turn on will hit my AR sad.gif when I don't accept..

Wah can get rm50 plus fare? Most I ever encountered is like rm 27 minus airport

The minimum AR we must maintain weekly is 30%? They calculate this weekly right.. Not daily?

Red zones /= surge fare.
Better way is to put yourself in rider shoes. Example: what time you finish shopping in mall? Generally close to the mall's closing times.
That's when the surge *may* come in,cos everyone is rushing to get home that time.
In short, study people movement habits,and aim to be nearby to get those jobs.

Thank you Skylinelover and Artak for your response.

Made decision to go back PJ as my children are there.
I have come into contact with a Car Rental Owner / Uber Driver / Referral Alpha
who has given me lots of info. Will also go for the PSV Licence as I believe in
getting fully prepared. Whether I do it or not does not matter as it is not expensive. I can jump over to drive an airport limo in case Grab gets crappier biggrin.gif

Driving at 9am is already at a disadvantage. Start from 7am. That's when rates are high. 7-10am. Then maybe take some rest until 3/4pm. Generally the more shit the driving hour the higher u get.

Just checking in this legendary thread of TS journey becoming a sifu. So many things have change now. Even the strategy also different. We all anxious to see the date 12july.

This year puasa is definitely different than last year puasa demand. Let see how is the demand when it is closing to raya.

If you have time TS... share with us ur take on PSV, TB, TO, Puasa and coming raya grab... latest tips and tricks? maybe ur jerung fare or income too? I'm sure a lot have progress since last year.

Sure we can share trade secrets but only in person cos I personally feel any improvement have to be shared over a cup of coffee or the tarik...

How are you doing now, sifu Artak?

first of all, salute to fellow GRAB drivers out there.

I have quite a bit of dilemma doing GRAB. ive been doing this for the past 3 months, full time, and I'm seeing a worrying pattern to my income. I thought I might be doing something wrong, because my own experience and what I read over the internet and hearsay taht people can easily makes clean income nett profit above rm3k per month by doing GRAB.

so my daily routine is usually like this, and my expenses.
I started working from 9am and I usually do it till 9 or 10pm everyday. Sometimes I take 1 day off every week, sometimes none at all.

Expenses:
RM80+ Everyday Fuel
RM50 Everyday for GRAB Cash topup
RM20~RM30 Toll
RM20~RM30 Miscellaneous (food/tidbits)

other miscellaneous costs not included like phone bills/cleaning/car maintenance/tyres etc...

So this is pretty much my daily expenses doing GRAB from 9am~9 or 10pm everyday

with the RM50 topup, I can make RM210~RM250 gross salary everyday. Minus my expenses, I bring home less than RM50 home everyday nett profit.
At this rate I'm getting around RM1.5 only nett profit every month working my ass off everyday from morning to night with no life.
Ive heard other drivers bragging that this isnt the case and theyre making much more money than me.

Please, I beg of anyone that can help me. what am I doing wrong? How can I improve myself? I desperately need to improve... Im seriously at a loss.

It's dumb to listen to those so call grab sifu la. You need to cheat and hack the app to get favorable ping. With hack grab driver app you can pick and chose what kind of ping you can get. You can also steal other drivers ping even the other driver camp at the location 30mins and you are still far away. Same goes to airport trip. You want to do honest work with honest pay you should've do grab lol. Good luck

Just notice 2018 post... And yet! My reply still validate lmao
