FAQs
If a passenger with a child below 1.35 m books a non-GrabFamily ride (e.g. JustGrab or GrabCar) but brings his/her own child restraint device, what should I do?
When passengers bring their own age-appropriate child restraint devices, you may accept the ride, even on non-GrabFamily services.
However, please note that slings and strap-on carriers are not compliant with LTA regulations.
I’m a GrabFamily driver. If a passenger with a child below 1.35 m books a non-GrabFamily ride (e.g. JustGrab or GrabCar) but does not have any child restraint devices, what should I do?
Politely inform the passengers that children below 1.35 m must be secured with appropriate restraint devices while riding in private-hire vehicles.
If you’re a GrabFamily driver, you may apply the following surcharge for every child restraint device that you provide:
- GrabFamily (Ages 1-3): $5 per Urban Kanga / IMMI GO used
- GrabFamily (Ages 4-7): $2 per mifold used
Do communicate these additional charges to the passengers before you start the trip.
I’m NOT a GrabFamily driver. If a passenger with a child below 1.35 m books a non-GrabFamily ride (e.g. JustGrab or GrabCar) but does not have any child restraint devices, what should I do?
If you’re not a GrabFamily driver, please advise the passengers to book the correct service type instead. Alternatively, you may consider joining GrabFamily (Ages 1-3) and/or GrabFamily (Ages 4-7) if your Driver Rating is 4.60 or more.
Do I need to enter a surcharge for a GrabFamily booking?
If a passenger books a GrabFamily ride, the following surcharges would’ve been automatically added on top of the base fare:
- GrabFamily (Ages 1-3): $5
- GrabFamily (Ages 4-7): $2
If any additional car seat or booster seat is used during the ride, you may need to manually input the surcharge amount for each seat used.
If a passenger with a child below 1.35 m books a non-GrabFamily ride (e.g. JustGrab or GrabCar) and requires a car/booster seat, what surcharge amount do I add?
If a passenger books a non-GrabFamily ride, no surcharge would’ve been included in the base fare. Hence if you’re a GrabFamily driver and any seat is used, you may impose the following surcharge, where applicable:
- Urban Kanga / IMMI GO – $5 per car seat used
- mifold – $2 per booster seat used
Can I drive for both GrabFamily (Ages 1-3) and GrabFamily (Ages 4-7)?
Of course! In fact, when you have both a car seat and booster seat, you’d never have to worry about cancelling on a passenger that comes with 2 children, one below 1 m and another between 1 – 1.35 m.
