They are simply ordinary commuters who happen to be heading your way. By freeing up a space in their car to give you and\/or fellow riders a lift, they get to cover a portion of their petrol cost. That\u2019s all! So, let&#8217;s not treat them as taxi-drivers since they are not one.\u00a0Take the front seat and make a new\u00a0friend!<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s in it for you?<\/p>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>Affordable private-car commuting option, 20-40% cheaper than commercial services.<\/li>\n<li>Getting to meet people from all walks of life, you may even bump into your childhood friend or future boss!<\/li>\n<li>Contributing to Singapore&#8217;s car light movement, helping to ease traffic congestion and reduce carbon footprint.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Learn how to secure a Hitch ride!\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Here are some super tips our Hitch Riders find most helpful in ensuring their bookings get matched:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grab.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/08\/Grab_GC_ProjectGold_CampaignPag3-150x150.png\" alt=\"Grab_GC_ProjectGold_CampaignPag3\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>1.
