If you have money get a new car. At least for 3 years you don't need to go Puspakom.

Fuh talk like a stalker

How old are you now? U think u can get better prospect working elsewhere or working for grab? The answer is quite obvious isn't it.

Even those study until SPM, working from waiter/waitress and raise until restaurant manager and taking 3-4k per month. Compare to driving grab, u want to earn 3-4k, sure can, but u need to work at least 70-80 hrs per week.

if that's a second hand car you are referring i'll say 50/50 , the mileage could be genuine or adjusted from 500k to 40k, previously used by another fellow Grab driver even though the car year is still new no joke.
coz previously my dad sold of a brand new car mileage more than 500k adjusted to 50k like that lol.....almost everyday use it travel outstation

p/s: if the car condition is still good, which idiot gonna sell it off right?

Never trust the car mileage sold by used car dealers...To really confirm the mileage call the SC for service record or the last time the car was serviced by the SC.

Grab office select drivers representative themselves?

I thought we should choose our representative among ourselves via voting process

If you read all the comments, you would see grabbing is not being advised as a career with new car or second hand car. Listen to the good suggested advice given who cared to penned thier thoughts for you.

If you work for a company in sales, there is consistence target to be achieved, rewards that is stable from guaranteed commission or bonus to brighter future of higher position.

Your income goes lower and lower with the SK1M that changes without prior notice, according to crappy whims and fancies. No annual paid leaves, no public holidays, no medical coverage, no EPF and risk of getting banana which might not be justified by riders complaints.

Even with new Bezza car, the guarantee comes with 5 years or 150,000 km, whichever comes first. Tarak Beza, If you are driving hard to cari makan, your warranty would be voided in 2 years. Chances of accidents or tyres puncture increase with the extra mileage to grab riders with all those bumps and holes on MY roads.

I had a Grab rider who was ex Grabber where he took into every sens and ringgit by recording every costing of petrol to servicing to tips from 10 sens to 10 ringgit in 1 year and other costs like phone and billing charges. He gave up after that to become a private driver to fetch a school children to school and activities which takes 1 to 2 hours of driving in 6 hours duty in hsi Datuk car. Sumore, it is normally 5 days job. His earning is sama rata by grabbing riders. And The Malay chap makes extra by selling burgers tiap tiap malam where he untung Rm100.

Buying a new car and selling it later always rugi and selling ex grab car sure kena teruk with beruk pricing.

Finally, think about medical risks with health issues for that kind of long stressful hours of sitting and driving. Berbaloi tak?

Just for the record, I used to drive for fun and charity fund with my Honda HRV as Uberman. The cost of replacement from alternator , gear box and suspension comes to RM35K in just a year. Luckily it comes with warranty coverage. But the helpful service manager said that's it......where I am not using it to grab riders anymore. Now grabbing riders with Exora NGV whenever my mood takes me. It is fun to drive without all the stress to grab riders where I have to worry to maintain my car which goes kilometrico. I just have to worry about road bumps to avoid tyres punctures and service it with synthetic engine oil for the extra mileage.

Grab is forcing driver to use voip call. Give option to use data or regular method for calling. Using data is absurd when isp charge for extra data but not for telefon call (unlimited voice call).

On consumer side good to retain their own number, actually i'm more worry about the voip call quality. Tried few times with whatapps call and sometimes i can't hear shit from it when coverage is bad.

The app ask to switch over to regular call when data is not connected (if habis data for example). Even the app is useless by then when you already used up your quota.

my car recently got many problem popping out like gearbox issue, estimate cost RM1k. Driveshaft and throttle body cleaning another RM1k. I guess high mileage on grab definitely fasten the wear & tear

25 years old. Graduated at 24 but got bad CGPA jobless for a year, very hard to get job,

make sense, just our family still need car as our old car is dying

Thanks for the tips. So SC have record on the car millage

People drive grab due to desperation, currently i am desperate enough to consider grab

You sell your Exora to him la. I tot you want to sell em right before going to America.

Still in MY Klang Valley. My son decided on to go after his SPM. Meanwhile still grabbing riders here before flying there next year to be Uberman.

If you are jobless, go ahead to drive grab. Don't be discouraged by what others say.

Yes, you don't earn a lot. But at least you keep yourself occupied.

Just do it

When rider so good want 2 offer you big chance just take it

I met all 3 pretty ladies and i already chosen what 2 do post grab haha

Desperate people are often being abused unless you get good employer. And driving under stress is not fun. I get cancellation fee after 5 minutes when the riders just couldnt care less after more than 5 minutes taking thier sweet excuse for saying "I am in the lift", 'wait for me" ...... with 25KM trip. while I dun mind waiting for a rider which actually pengsan by waiting for more than 10 minutes and helped to carry her to the clinic for treatment. The trip is just Rm6 but I think it is priceless.

Kindly think hard .....where the advice you got are not so encouraging from this forum where you are seeking high and low for answers from those with experience and know how to grab or not.

IMHO, if you try harder to get a job, there would be better opportunities in life than be a taxi driver since you are a graduate. Moreover, your written English is decent enough and better than many MY graduates. As long as you possess good attitude and passion, you should be all right. Just stay positive and try not be desperate. People dun buy your story if you are desperate but would buy if you can give them that extra value of your service or products. I had hired even mentally challenged worker where he is considered one of the the best employee in my history while I have fired MBA students who couldnt perform better than my Pinay in terms of spoken skills and servicing professionalism attitude. After I close my kitchen, she was good enuf to be hired in 5 stars hotels though she is just a high school student. Yours truly also get to work in top rated white restaurants in the States where the red neck Americans also find hard to be hired. I even earned more than them either as a manager , waiter or a cook where I had worked from bottoms up. BTW, I was even featured in the Cable TV there.
