Driver Timeout Feature – Protecting high-performing driver-partners

Tekan di sini untuk terjemahan Bahasa Melayu

From our recent data, driver-partners with higher acceptance rates have earned an average of 10% more than driver-partners with low acceptance rates. While consistently accepting trip requests do help driver-partners maximise their earnings, these high acceptance rates (AR) also do help keep the system running smoothly enabling us to deliver a reliable and high quality service to all.

Based on requests from our high rated driver-partners, we will be introducing the Driver Timeout feature from 24 September 2018*. This will prevent driver-partners, who consistently ignore or cancel bookings, from receiving any jobs temporarily.

Not accepting trip requests causes delays and it does affect the experience for other driver-partners. However, we understand that sometimes, due to certain circumstances, you can’t accept every trip request or you may want to take a break. If you are not ready to accept jobs, please toggle off the ‘unavailable for jobs’ button.

*The feature will be launched in stages. By 28 September 2018, this  feature will apply to all driver-partners nationwide.


What happens if I consistently ignore or cancel multiple jobs?

If you ignore or cancel* multiple jobs consistently you may be set as ‘Unavailable’, and may be temporarily prevented from receiving new jobs. If that happens, the timer on your Grab Driver app will show for how long you’ll remain unavailable.

Images for illustrative purposes only.

Once the timer runs out, you will be informed that jobs are no longer paused. Click on the ‘Unlock icon to continue receiving jobs. Alternatively, you may click on ‘Stay Unavailable’ to remain unavailable.

How will this benefit high-performing driver-partners?

Driver-partners who pick and choose jobs or who are not ready to accept jobs, will temporarily be removed from the system. This will provide greater job potential for other driver-partners, especially those who use the Auto Accept feature, to maintain high Acceptance Rates (AR) and low Cancellation Rates (CR).

*Driver cancellations that don’t affect your CR (e.g. ‘Passenger no show’, ‘Too many passengers or luggage’, and ‘Can’t pick up at location’.) will not result in a timeout.
