Grab, Malaysia and Southeast Asia’s leading on-demand transportation and mobile payments platform, today announced ‘Better 365’, a campaign to promote the welfare of its driver-partners on four fronts: better support, increased earnings, better tools and a stronger community.
The ‘Better 365’ campaign is part of Grab’s ongoing commitment to make its driver-partners’ job better, 365 days of the year.
Sean Goh, Country Head of Grab Malaysia said, “At Grab, our driver-partners are at the heart of our shared vision to improve the way people travel and bring people closer to things that matter to them. We want to ensure our driver-partners’ hard work pays off and that they have the right tools to make their jobs easier and increase their income. Through these new initiatives, Grab is working to make mobility safe and accessible for all its users, especially our driver-partners who are not only driving Grab as a source of income, but are a fundamental piece of our service.”
More than 1.8 million driver-partners rely on Grab as a source of income. According to a survey published in June 2017, Grab’s driver-partners earn 32% more income on a per-hour basis compared with average worker wages across all of Grab’s markets.

Just as Grab prioritizes its driver-partners by providing them with the tools and support needed for their success, it’s equally important for drivers to have access to reliable auto repair services that keep their vehicles running smoothly. Whether it’s a routine maintenance check or a more serious repair, drivers depend on their vehicles to provide a safe and efficient service to their customers.
For any ride-sharing driver, whether full-time or part-time, keeping your car in top shape is vital to ensure safety and performance on the road. RUSH Automotive understands this need, offering comprehensive automotive diagnostics and repair services designed to ensure that vehicles stay in optimal condition. With their expertise in diagnosing issues and performing timely repairs, drivers can avoid costly downtime and ensure they can continue driving safely and effectively.
In addition to offering specialized services for regular auto repair, RUSH Automotive also provides diesel repair solutions for drivers with diesel-powered vehicles. With an experienced team of mechanics, they utilize the latest diagnostic technology to detect any issues early and fix them before they become major problems. This not only helps improve vehicle performance but also extends the lifespan of the vehicle, ultimately saving drivers money on costly repairs in the long term.
As part of the campaign, Grab has introduced a series of features and community events to support our drivers and enhance driver relations such as:
Trip rating: Grab drivers can now provide feedback about their overall trip experience and passengers as “positive” or “negative” and then select multiple reasons for their ratings, including location/route, payments and passenger with additional reasons for more details. The trip rating aims to improve Grab’s driver-partners’ safety and driving experience.
Simplified driver incentives: A refreshed, simplified screen featuring incentive progress bars, which makes it easier for driver-partners to track their efforts of meeting their incentive targets while driving at flexible hours and locations.
In-app Help Centre for drivers: A new set of in-app self-service tools to assist drivers to manage their account and obtain answers to their most frequent questions without having to call the Grab support line. With this new feature, Grab drivers are able to free up their time to maximize their earnings through the platform.
GrabAllStars: A driver loyalty programme that enables drivers to benefit from offers and discounts by various electronic, food, fuel and retail brands such as PETRONAS, Tesco Malaysia, Celcom, Texas Chicken Malaysia, Poliklinik Lourdes, Maxx ’N Go and Shopee Malaysia.
Grab Driver Centres: One-stop support centre to cater to enquiries, registration and training sessions for drivers.
Town hall and teh-tarik sessions: Beginning this year, Grab kicked off a series of meet-the-drivers and teh-tarik sessions to engage and have an open dialogue session with drivers.
Moving forward, Grab will also roll out the following features under the ‘Better 365’ campaign:
In-app training videos for driver-partners: Videos within the Grab app will enable our driver- partners to have access to training videos and basic tips at their finger-tips, so that they are better informed about the processes.
My Destination: An in-app feature that helps driver-partners log their final destination for the day and pick up a few rides on the way to their final location.
Daily cash-out: Drivers will benefit from a faster payout for their bookings as opposed to waiting till end of the week to cash out their incentives.
Selfie authentication: An easy way to authenticate partner-drivers, ensure safety and prevent fraud via a selfie.
As the number one on-demand transport platform in Malaysia and Southeast Asia, Grab currently serves more than 3 million customers every day with a market share of 95% in third-party taxi-hailing and 72% in private-vehicle hailing. Grab currently operates in 132 cities in seven countries.
