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.

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.

Go and read the main thread first page, it has a blog and u can opt in Hourly Guarantee (HG) by filling form.

To meet the requirement for HG, u need AR 80% daily.

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.
