why are you counting toll as expense? you pay rm100 a month for your phone??
*
anything related to it just dump it, just for filing for tax purpose.

The billing is postpaid of a bundle package, tied up for 2 years, RM98 + service tax/GST per month.

actually for toll expenses for u to return back home is part and parcel of the business, as long it is related to the business and u able to justify to the officer, it can be deductible. Let say u fetch customer to Genting and empty car back to Klang Valley, the toll charges of RM6 is deductible.

Of course i won't dump all in to claim, maybe partial of it. If u got details one like statement listing what toll u use then it is much better.

Just now i forgot road tax & insurance, so nett is about RM4.5k. Just for your information touch n go card has 10 years expiry period, just now scrolling on mine and notice Aug 2019 going to be expire.

For tax purposes on business which use private property, all the expenses will only take accounts 70%. E.g. If monthly payment for car is 1000, can only deduct rm700 as expenses.
*
for full timer can try 2/3, for part timer like me i claim 1/2 of it.

I know Krol aka Bro Khai since 2009, because we used to be in the same insurance agency group before he parted his own way in 2014 due to not being promoted as a unit manager and if one thing I can talk confidently talk about him is that he is very particular when it comes to tax. It rubbed on him off our manager.

I knew his struggles, I saw it with my very own eyes and it makes me happy that he has finally found his own peace 😊

Good feature, at least lesser rider venting anger on rating from now onwards.

QUOTE
Sometimes you might receive a rating that’s lower than what you hoped for reasons that are beyond your control. So to make things fairer for you, we’ve made some upgrades to the ratings system.

Passengers will now be asked to rate and provide feedback at the end of their trip.

Here’s what you’ll find on our improved rating system:

Clearer feedback on trips rated 4 stars or less

Passengers will now be asked to provide feedback on all trips that was rated unsatisfactory. You’ll get a better idea on how to improve and provide the best service possible.

If the low rating was due to reasons related to the app, your rating will not be affected.


[Coming soon]

Get tips for great service

Now, passengers can show their appreciation for your great service by adding a tip at the end of their ride. So be sure to do your best in order to receive good ratings (and tips).


[Coming soon]

Track your tips in your job history of your Grab Driver App

Tips will show in your partner statement, transaction activity, and daily/weekly earning summaries.


Update your Grab Driver app now to enjoy these new improvements!

Guys, later when we have to register and apply PSV, puspakom inspection, commercial insurance and all, our operating costs is gonna shoot up so much..most likely have to declare income and pay income tax also. They levelling playing field with taxi drivers, but I feel GRAB fares are too low...Taxis don't pay income tax, and charge RM1.95 per km,,whereas GRAB's fee is about RM1 per km..it is so unfair. I feel GRAB's market share is so strong, they should increase their fares by 50% also, people will still use,,no difference...not fair to us drivers.
*
In term of regulation is level field play, but talk about vehicle and fare is not level field play.

Taxi = Commercial vehicle, Grab = Personal vehicle. So for insurance for e-hailing just top up 15-20% of insurance premium will do.

Taxi = can wait at designated area, Grab = Cannot wait at designated area. Sooner it will enforce every e-hailing car to put sticker on windscreen.

whoa....update....you saw the construction at that road? they finally put concrete bricks divider and extend it WAY past the turning....I think up till the petronas station,.... LOL

Saw that, no more car can make a turn there. Actually just go into Lucky Garden and make a big circle also can reach. If not KL Eco City route will bring u there too.

The next one dangerous is Persiaran Kewajipan heading towards SS15/Sunway from USJ, freaking dangerous with car speeding and making corner and eat out of road. Sooner or later they will have accident there if they don't something on it.

Hey guys,

Anyone interested to fetch customers from KL to SG for a single journey?
3 luggages, 2 pax.
Preferably car bigger than the size of Honda City.
Trip on this Wednesday between 1 pm to 3 pm.
Pm me if anyone interested coz I got a rider looking for a Grab driver willing to send them to SG.
*
Singapore is catching a lot of kereta sapu there, make sure driver know the risk before entering.

The offense is penalty and confiscate your car permanently at Singapore

Inside SG - Orchard.

But, as others suggested here, I think it’s risky to drive to SG as kereta sapu. But it’s up to u if u r up to it.

Singapore taxi and e-hailing driver has complaining about Malaysia car enter into Changi airport to pick up passenger and their business drop a lot. For sure the enforcer can easily monitor once u enter, the car plate itself so easy to differentiate.

Hi guys. I'm thinking to start to be a full time grab driver. How is the current demand? Is it ok or oversaturated already? Any tips willing to share?

Never drive with grab before..

Now driver > rider.

On peak hours u still can earn, off peak hours is tougher

Weird happening yesterday evening.

i picked up a rider at Suria KLCC Ampang entrance at ard 6;30pm, DOP at Majestic Hotel. when i accepted the AA order the chargeable fare was at RM21 + 26 (TBB). It took me almost 1 hour to reach at the drop off point, terribly jam. On the way back, i checked my earning statement and found out there was no TBB at all for the trip to Majestic Hotel!!!!!

Quickly i called to cs and they want me to write story about the incident via Help Center... some more asked me did i snap the picture, i said where the hell i got time to take picture... if i knew the system can be like sure i will go and snap it...

Why the system like one!!!!!!

the great system will not reflected immediately, logout then login and see your cash wallet. If don't have then throw red paint at grab office

Need help from experience Driver

If PU at condo. Ping at outside or guard house , then only rider send message ask to pu at lobby or at their block. What should we do. These kind of request seems like riders want to con us on the fair.

Sometimes the distance quite far and the delay caused by the security guards. Sometimes took us more than 5 mins
*
Look at the grab apps, if got selection of block, then wait at guardhouse, if no selection of block then go in.

Places like Ridzuan condo at sunway mentari doesn't allow to pick up at lobby, rider has to wait at guardhouse for pick up.

guys, how are u guys doing with grab now?
I guess, these past couple months ever since they defaults JustGRAB instead of grabcar, im really having a hard time reaching my kpi.

I can still reach it, but takes 3, 4 hours longer. its interupting with the time i set aside for myself. gym/study/prayer/recreation etc...

What is your KPI for daily collection? The slow down has been affecting all of us especially last 2 month.

I think demand has been lower (Lack of promo code and people has lesser money to spend) or driver has increase.

at first i targeted rm200 clean profit everyday, 1 day off weekly.  no life.
then after i stabilized, i reduced my target to rm170 or so and started allocating time to self.
after that, as I put in more time to myself, I enrolled in kelas mengaji at local surau, going to gym, have better lifestyle, spend more time with family, I kept it at rm150 clean profit everyday.

these days, i need to work extra time to get that rm150. need to put in few more extra hours.
on bad days, i can get demotivated too. not even rm100 clean I alreeady went home.

this week i havent worked much as im too busy packing up my stuffs to move places.
I dunno how will grab work affects me once i move to new places. im quite scared tbh...
*
I think u have to adjust your timing to maximise the income. Make sure u don't miss the 2 peak timing, 6-10am and 5-8pm.

With this 7 hrs i believe u can easily hit target, utilize the 10-5pm for your own personal lifestyle like Gym. U have to adjust to this timing because 10-5pm has too many drivers and little demand.

p/s : which location u move to?
