Grab fare have been quite stable no matter what time of the day de, even during peak the fare doesnt surge a lot. Unlike last time uber, the fare can surge or drop drastically.

This morning mrt breakdown, my daughter was quoted $51 from lakeside to suntec, she ended up calling me.  [laugh]

 

in the car she was telling me crazy, and that grab is getting more costly these days. She used to take grab quite often, but lesser now. 

 

Mon i took a grab from jurong to ubi, cost $23, I remember each time I take a cab same route is ard $20.  <_<  [laugh]  [laugh]

Special case since mrt breakdown, i got a surge of 3.5X on monday later afternoon but i call Ryde, i guess many F1 tourists rushing to airport during that time.

 

$23 from jurong to ubi still reasonable cos take cab in the morning got surcharge and ERP.

yah, mrt breakdown i can understand, sudden surge of demand sure price will go up. 

 

But $23 not morning leh, it was 3pm, no surcharge no erp, and the driver came in less than 5 min. But I didnt bother because opel paying $15, so I just take.  [laugh]  [laugh]  [laugh]

Oh is it?  [thumbsup]

 

Under comfort itself or just grab?

 

Now that you mention, @jman888, the $23 was for just grab, grab car was $3 more at $26. I selected just grab and one honda civil came.  [laugh]  [laugh]  [laugh]

Read the above recently: - 

 

Came across a young Grab driver last month. He said he spent about $80 on petrol a day and nett intake is about $320 ie about 10 hours a day

 

He said he has another colleague who used diesel cars for the same job. Rental is about $80 a day but diesel is cheap ie $40 a day

 

Hence after deducting fuel, rental, parking $3 and car wash $2 (self service) - daily earning is about $195 not bad for new joiner. All other expense covered in the rent.

I guess he meant the earings before deduct 20% commission. 10 hrs drive is about 320 plus minus before deduct 20% commission.

New insurance plan to cover surge pricing for Grab rides on rainy days

 

 

SINGAPORE: A new insurance plan has been introduced to cover surge pricing for trips booked on ride-hailing app Grab on rainy days.

 

 

Launched by NTUC Income on Wednesday (Oct 24), the insurance plan – named Droplet – offers a payout of up to 60 per cent of the trip fare or the cancellation fee, or both, if it was raining at the point of pick-up. 

 

 

For a premium of up to S$9.60 a day – purchased at least a day in advance – riders can submit receipts for up to S$50 worth of rides.

 

 

Coverage is for a minimum of two days. The exact premium depends on the weather forecast and when the insurance plan is purchased, NTUC Income said.
