PLease reconsider to rent from grab. You never heard of the RM3k repair fee to driver who return the car to grab after 3 months? Apparently grab microscope every dent and charge it to driver.
Read the main thread. Everything is in the receipt and posted. Of course we can never guess how bad is the damage but the fact grab charges the repair expensively to drivers... Just be aware... most drivers dun know it yet...

Not bad when it comes to full time as the rental program has a contract; like minimum 3 months based on the website. Pros is no maintenance, no need Puspakom, 24 hours call line when car breaks down, everything is free maintenance except you need to top up petrol yourself. Some more it comes with dash cam, also you don't need to fork money for that so +security. But then 1500 cost per month from 50 per day lol, this is only best for those who are unemployed to do full time grab nia

I waited 2.5 months for my Grab Rental car but the car is still not available... one staff in 11/11/2019 said they're waiting for car allocation & EVP... another staff in 3/1/2020 said waiting for EVP.
So I ask 2nd staff to cancel the rental booking... he said can return my deposit rm350 & will take 2-4 weeks via bank transfer but I'll still lose my rm150 admin fees ðŸ˜

I heard from my friend who switched to MyCar that it is no longer worth it to drive Grab, moreover to rent a car to drive with grab..

QUOTE(Jesse0916 @ Feb 14 2019, 04:15 PM) In my point of view, I think it is not worth. RM50 per day, with contract stated in agreement and deposit keep by Grab.
I will feel very stress to pay off the rental cost amounting RM50 everyday
Try to look for other option before you come to this Grab rental car program.
For Grab driver, average 5 hours can collect RM100. You may need to work more than 8 hours a day. After a month, you will start thinking that "is my whole life only driving Grabcar?"
5 hours=RM100, if work 20 days per week=20 x100=RM 2k. Ok also for half day work. Provided use own car i think? But now Covid-19...Grab is high risk job...

always ask for proof when ask driver to show income screenshot can be photoshopped. (alpha and some drivers won’t like what I said here). income shown in app is before petrol & maintenance.
anyway, just proceed to drive. Don’t like it just stop, grab won’t take away your car. No harm to do it temporarily till u find something better to do for your life.
most drivers are doing Grabfood/ grab mart/ grab express. Some only do Grabfood/ gm/ ge without turning on the grab car. With govt recent announcement on reopening of economy activities, traffic condition and ability to find parking at the restaurant can pose challenge for driver who are doing Gf.
