Does Grab fare include ERP?

Understanding ERP Charges in Grab Fares

Grab, a popular ride-hailing service in Southeast Asia, offers convenience and flexibility for commuters. However, it’s important to understand the additional charges that may apply to your fare, including Electronic Road Pricing (ERP).

ERP and Grab Fares

ERP charges are tolls levied on vehicles entering or exiting certain expressways and roads during peak hours in Singapore. These charges aim to regulate traffic flow and reduce congestion.

In Grab fares, ERP charges are not included in the initial fare displayed when you request a ride. Instead, they are added on top of the fare when you reach an ERP gantry.

Paying ERP Charges

When you approach an ERP gantry, the driver will be notified and will typically inform you of the charge. You have the option to pay the ERP charge in the following ways:

• Through the Grab app: The ERP charge will be automatically added to your Grab wallet and deducted from your payment method.
• Cash payment: In some cases, drivers may request cash payment for ERP charges on non-ERP routes. This is at the driver’s discretion and may not always be available.

Opting Out of ERP Charges

If you wish to avoid ERP charges, you can inform your driver before the start of your trip. The driver may choose to take an alternative route that does not incur ERP charges, but this may affect the travel time.

Key Points

• ERP charges are not included in the initial Grab fare and are added on at ERP gantries.
• You can pay ERP charges through the Grab app or in cash (if requested by the driver).
• You can opt out of ERP charges by informing your driver beforehand.
• Drivers may request cash payment for ERP charges on non-ERP routes, but this is not a standard practice.
