Grab tactic to scam new drivers lah to cope with new rules etc. Here we educate people unbiasedly if really worth it to do grab on AA + far pick up etc. Because grab/passengers won't care how far u travel to pick them up and how far u have to drive after dropping them off at somewhere ulu for example.
For new drivers many unforseen their maintenance cost in the long run, in the end u work for very little profit because u think "everyone is doing it i can do it too". First thing u need to figure out as new driver is your cost/km, which includes ur petrol, maintenance, depreciation of car etc.
From example below u can roughly calculate ur maintenance cost per km. Gear box cost thousands and isn't included below.

Air-con coolant (80k?) Should be refrigerant and compressor oil, 80k to 100k
Wear and tear:
Battery, Amaron (have it checked annually or show signs of low power, 2-3 years should be)
Air filter (used at own's risk, K&N, slightly dirtier throttle) wash and re-oil every 20k
Cabin filter (50k?)
Spark plugs (Mine 100k)
Engine mounting (100k?) 5 years or 200k*
Engine hoses (?) 5 years or 200k*
Radiator hoses (?) 5 years or 200k*
Tyre (~80-90k for me, light footed) 2 years
Break pad (~120k km for me, don't use break so much, some 20-30k don't know how)
Break disc/ break drum (every 30-50k?) 5 years or 200k
Engine timing chain/ belt (?) belt last 80k to 100k, chain last 5 years or 200k*

Water pump (150k?) 80k to 100k

Light bulbs (periodically checking, ~70-80k)
CV joints lubricate every time you do a oil change
Periodically
Overhaul (?) 10 years*
Fuel tank (?) 10 years*
To calculate ur fc, pump full tank and record ur mileage. Next pump, record the mileage driven and litres of petrol pumped. Divide the mileage driven with litres of petrol pumped.
Depreciation of car u survey urself if u plan to buy solely for ehailing and sell later on.
Finally to new drivers, source of income from ehailing is very unstable (car broken/phone broken/sick/accident etc), always look for alternative or back up plan.
