Advance Booking is a feature on the Grab Platform which allows Consumers to book a transport ride (i) from two (2) hours to seven (7) days in advance <\/span>for rides within Singapore and (ii) from twelve (12) hours to (7) days in advance for Cross-Border Services.<\/span><\/p>

Consumer – Fees<\/b><\/p>

The applicable fare of your scheduled ride will be shown when you select Advance Booking. Please note that the ride is still subject to other applicable surcharges that may apply at the time of booking (e.g. tolls).<\/span><\/p>

Please note that once your Advance Booking is confirmed, there will be a pre-authorized charge on your default mode of payment (i.e. GrabPay, credit card, debit card). The funds will be on “hold”, and will only be deducted once your ride is completed. If your ride is canceled, you will be refunded, subject to applicable cancellation policies.<\/span><\/p>

b) the Consumer\u2019s Advance Booking ride is confirmed and accepted by a Driver-partner but is canceled by Consumer after the scheduled pick-up time; or<\/span><\/p>

4. For Cross-Border Services:<\/strong> If the Driver-partner who accepted the Advance Booking cancels within 1 hour of Consumer\u2019s scheduled pick-up time or the Driver-partner who accepted the Advance Booking arrives after the scheduled pick-up time, the Consumer will receive a compensation voucher from Grab.<\/span><\/p>
