- Does Grab take any commission?Yes, Grab takes a maximum of 20% commission.
- I want to use Grab exclusively. Can I sign up and do I get any additional loyalty benefits?Under the CCCS’ directions, Grab is required to ensure that all of its driver-partners are able to drive for other platforms at the same time, and no driver-partners are penalised for not driving for Grab exclusively. We have various non-exclusive programmes that you can participate in. More details are available here All driver-partners are also automatically enrolled under the Emerald Circle, which provides a wide variety of benefits.
If I am driving with Grab or have rented a car with Grab or its partners, will I still be able to drive with other platforms?

- Does Grab deduct any fees from my fares?From 1 June 2018, we will collect a 10% platform fee on GrabHitch rides from our driver-partners, which goes into covering our operating costs, investing in various initiatives, and product enhancements, to ultimately channel value back to you.
- How is being a GrabHitch driver-partner different from being a GrabCar driver-partner?GrabCar driver-partners are commercial, professional drivers who have to register a business, purchase commercial insurance, convert their car to a commercial vehicle at the LTA, and then sign up in person at the Grab office. Since GrabHitch driver-partners are everyday, non-commercial private car owners who are not driving as a profession, the sign-up process is way easier. No need for commercial vehicle conversion nor insurance, simply launch the Grab app, take a couple of photos, and submit them for verification.
- How much can I earn per trip?GrabHitch is meant to subsidise your cost of driving i.e. mainly petrol costs, and not meant for you to make profits. That being said, you can expect to receive between S$8–12 per pick-up on average. If you do 2 pick-ups a day, that’s around S$600 a month.
- How many trips can I offer a day as a Hitch driver-partner?Based on current carpooling regulations, non-commercial driver-partners can only complete 2 trips in a calendar day, where 1 trip is defined as the pickup location of your first rider, to your own intended destination, and may consist of multiple pickups along the way. While we appreciate your enthusiasm for carpooling, please note that 2 trips a day limit are set by LTA, regardless of which platform you use. Your insurance may not cover if you do more than 2 trips a day in total, combined across all platforms.

Komsan Chiyadis
GrabFood delivery-partner, Thailand
COVID-19 has dealt an unprecedented blow to the tourism industry, affecting the livelihoods of millions of workers. One of them was Komsan, an assistant chef in a luxury hotel based in the Srinakarin area.
As the number of tourists at the hotel plunged, he decided to sign up as a GrabFood delivery-partner to earn an alternative income. Soon after, the hotel ceased operations.
Komsan has viewed this change through an optimistic lens, calling it the perfect opportunity for him to embark on a fresh journey after his previous job. Aside from GrabFood deliveries, he now also picks up GrabExpress jobs. It can get tiring, having to shuttle between different locations, but Komsan finds it exciting. And mostly, he’s glad to get his income back on track.
