1. Reasons For Being A Grab Driver

Convenient And Safe Driving

We know that traditional drivers are often wasting their time and fuels running around the streets to look for commuters. But with Grab, drivers are more active in finding and delivering services to passengers thanks to the Grab app's advanced technology.

Also, drivers will feel much safer when they know who will sit in their car, especially at night. If they think it's not safe to take this drive, they can turn it down easily. 

An Ultimate Way To Take Advantage Of Your Car

It’s a good idea to use your car to earn more money as a Grab driver. You can get more income by using GrabCar to drive on your own or employ a driver to utilize your car after dropping you at your place. In fact, a Grab driver can earn a lucrative income of PHP 40,000/month gross.

For those who want to drive part-time, Grab Peer is the right choice for them. It allows you to drive after office hours. You can become a part-time driver rather than parking your car the entire day, especially in Ortigas, Makati, or Metro Manila where you need to bear the expenditure for parking.
