The service, which is available in Metro Manila and Pampanga, benefits both passengers and drivers: while passengers can get better savings, drivers will be able to have more consistent bookings.Â
Other perks of of this new GrabCar option for drivers is that their cancellation rate will not be affected, giving them more freedom to accept or decline bookings.
To access it, you open the Grab app, select Car, pin your pickup and drop-off points, and select GrabCar Saver.
For comparison, GrabCar Saver costs Php 33 less than regular GrabCar when we booked for our usual route from home to office. That translates to around 10% in savings, which is not bad. However, GrabShare is still more affordable at Php 238, though there’s a catch: if you don’t get matched within 10 minutes, you will pay Php 314 instead.
Overall, GrabCar Saver is a good alternative if you are not in a rush to go to your destination and you prioritize savings.
