TAKE CONTROL
Know in advance if an extra stop is needed!
From 24 May 2017, GrabTaxi driver-partners will be informed in advance when an extra stop is needed for a booking. This feature is enabled for JustGrab and Standard Taxi jobs, and only works for one additional stop per ride.
JustGrab jobs
The additional distance is calculated upfront and reflected in the fixed fare when passengers make the booking, allowing for more certainty when accepting up the job. The further the additional stop, the higher the fare.
Points to note:
- GrabTaxi driver-partners will be notified of both stops even before picking up the passenger.
- GrabTaxi driver-partners will not be required to input the additional stop surcharges as the displayed fare includes the cost of the extra distance travelled.
- If passengers request for stops outside of what’s indicated in their booking, driver-partners should revert to the previous additional stop surcharge policy.
- Waiting time grace period and surcharges still apply.
Standard Taxi jobs
Please keep the meter running from pick-up to final drop-off as per regular Standard Taxi jobs
Points to note:
- GrabTaxi driver-partners will be notified of both stops even before picking up the passenger
- Any existing Standard Taxi surcharges still apply
