Yes, there seems to be quite a lot of terms and conditions to contend to for \u00a0GrabCar. The new incentive programme by UberX seems to be more lucrative for the driver as the incentive is not deductible for commission.<\/p>\n
The drawback to the new Uber Earning Boost is, you don\u2019t get incentive all the time. Drivers will receive and email detailing the Earning Boost hours for the week, while the app only shows the hours for the day. This means less flexibility for the drivers to maximise their earnings, especially if they have a full-time job.<\/p>\n
<\/span>The other factors<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\niMoney has always advocated value. The same goes to your side-income gig.<\/p>\n
If by earning an additional RM50 you get more headaches, it\u2019s simply not worth your trouble. Therefore, instead of just evaluating the money you can potentially earn, you should also consider the other factors that come with driving people around with both Uber and Grab.<\/p>\n
Passenger rating<\/strong><\/p>\nSometimes we meet bad drivers, while other times we meet terrible passengers. This goes both ways, and Uber recognises this. To protect its drivers, the app allows both passengers and drivers to rate each other.<\/p>\n
Plus the new incentive programme from Uber does not have as many requirements as GrabCar.<\/p>\n
Grab, on the other hand, only allows passengers to rate the drivers. Uber drivers can view the rating of a passenger before deciding to accept the job.<\/p>\n
Destinations<\/strong><\/p>\nOne downside to Uber is, its drivers are unable to view the destination before accepting a job. This makes it hard for drivers to plan their trips and earnings when they are online.<\/p>\n
Unlike Uber, Grab gives you the destination of your passenger, so you will be able to gauge the estimated fares, and also avoid destinations that you are uncomfortable going to. This can give you a clearer idea on the driving strategy.<\/p>\n
With today\u2019s high cost of living, every ringgit counts. To keep up with a comfortable lifestyle, you may need a source of extra income, and driving for Uber and Grab may be your answer to that.<\/p>\n
Other than analysing the earnings schedule and rates, it also pays to balance whether the earnings will cover all your petrol and car maintenance cost at the end of the day.<\/p>\n
Fares and incentives for both platforms change periodically, and you may need to reconsider which platform to drive for in order to make the most of your time.<\/p>\n
