For All Drivers

As drivers, this means you will enjoy the benefits of a larger Grab network, with a larger pool of passengers. For example, more bookings, better matching of passengers and drivers, and greater earning potential.

In the immediate term, nothing changes. Both Grab and Uber drivers can drive as you normally do.

Interested Uber drivers will need to register to drive with Grab after the Uber service closes.

Please be patient if we take a bit more time to answer any questions you may have. Your livelihoods matter to us, and we have people working throughout the day to support you on signing up and obtaining your PDVL.

It usually takes 2 working days to process new driver registrations. We may take a longer time to process your registration as we expect large number of new drivers registering with us in these few weeks and we will need to validate all applications with the LTFRB audited masterlist of Uber drivers. We have Grab folks working overtime to onboard all new drivers, and humbly ask for your patience in this period.

You can continue to drive using the Grab Driver app as long as (1) you still have a valid driver account with us and (2) the vehicle you are driving is part of the LTFRB audited masterlist of TNVS vehicles. However if you have been suspended or removed from the Grab platform for previously breaking the Grab code of conduct, we regret that you will not be able to re-register to drive with Grab. Safety and security of the Grab platform is a priority for us.

Uber will pay you for the fares and corresponding incentives from the rides you picked up using the Uber Partner app. You can contact Uber support within the ‘Help’ section of your Uber app or on help.uber.com.

Uber transferred individual driver data only after a driver provided consent to the data transfer in the Uber Driver-Partner app. After the driver has provided consent, Uber has transferred individual Driver-Partner data required to sign up driver-partners with Grab, facilitate payments to drivers, and provide drivers a better service, if the individual driver joins Grab as a driver-partner.

Data was only transferred to Grab when Uber Driver-partners pressed “I Agree” within the Uber driver app, thereby consenting to the data transfer by Uber.
