Carnoob Supercharged December 3, 2015 Share December 3, 2015 (edited) Booked a normal Grabcar the other day, and had a Grabcar 6-seater who took the job at Grabcar (Economy) price. Driver said that Grabcar 6-seater and Grabcar + drivers have the option of accepting Grabcar (Economy) jobs at the normal economy rate. Oso doesn't make sense, if accept on normal economy rate then the driver would have to accept $5 instead of $10 for additional stops because he is taking 'economy' customer. Like that then can I choose not to board as passenger? Good point to feedback... Edited December 3, 2015 by Carnoob ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't count on that... Singapore is safe but not that safe, there are still siao lang around... I would use it with caution, see the driver face don't feel comfortable I will still cancel the trip... but that's just me... typical kiasi Singaporean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
inlinesix Hypersonic December 3, 2015 Share December 3, 2015 If Grabtaxi is selected, why Grabcar+driver turn up. Interesting! d assurance not there leh. But still lucky than tat Ang Mo, cannot remember Uber or Grabcar, he paid $165 from Beach Rd to somewhere Jurong. Tats why, scare of using these private app, not sure what type of car will turn up. Sekali a Porsche turn up. Jialat. Read the news carefully lah. It is user's fault for choosing the most expensive type of car rather than apps. Mind you, when east-west line was down, i managed to book UberX from Raffles Hospital to Home. There are long q at Raffles Hospital taxi stand.

Yes, by left you can but provided the driver had not accepted another booking... BY THE BOOK, a straight NO... this is considered as street pick-up... if a "green-eyed monster" complaint to LTA, then you will see news BIG BIG and ppl will start to say crap things about Uber / Grabcar...

You should be able to see your free ten dollar rides in the app. Just use it as per normal - anything more than 10 bucks will be deducted from your credit card. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is good to have this discussion. Uber / Grabcar is relatively a new concept that has been introduced. As I shared, Uber and Grabcar are apps that provide multiple services; want premium ride pay the premium price. Though one thing I must agree, drivers in private chauffeuring need improvement and I'm not saying taxi drivers are perfect. Basically, Singaporeans are weak in customer service even in retail... I think the basic training for private chauffeur should include customer service and road familiarization. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the basic training for private chauffeur should include customer service and road familiarization. I took UberExec twice with the same driver. It was really good experience since the driver is also private limo driver. I have my share of good & bad uber drivers. When i gave 3 star review to a new driver who is not familiar with Singapore, i was told in MCF that i am mean. But isn't that part of review? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
