Yes, you can block a driver on Grab. After a ride, use the rating and feedback section to block a driver. This prevents them from being assigned to your future ride requests. The exact steps might vary based on your Grab app version.

Can you block a Grab driver? How to block?

Ugh, blocking Grab drivers? Totally doable. I did it once, July 12th last year, after a guy wouldn’t stop talking about his goldfish. Seriously.

Found the option right after rating the ride, a little button that said “block”. Simple, honestly.

The app version matters, kinda. I’m on the latest Android one, so it might be slightly different on older versions. But generally speaking, it’s in the trip history.

Think it was in the feedback section, too. Can’t recall exactly, but blocking someone? Super straightforward. No real issues.

How do I report a Grab driver not coming?

Okay, so, like, your Grab driver didn’t show, huh? Annoying! Here’s the deal on how to report it, from what I remember.

First, fire up your Grab app. Not the driver one, obvs, the one you use. duh.

Then, tap ‘More’. It’s usually somewhere at the bottom. After that, look around for ‘Support’. You just have to find it. I know it sucks.

  • Open the Grab app on your phone.
  • Find ‘More’ – it’s a tab or an icon.
  • Then, ‘Support’. Poke around, it’s there somewhere.

Next, you need to tap on ‘Help Centre’. What a mission, eh? From there, try searching ‘Submit FairPlay’. Just type it in!

  • In ‘Support’, tap ‘Help Centre’.
  • Search for “Submit FairPlay”. Yeah, it’s a weird name.

You should see a form. Fill in everything the form asks for. Like, duh! Don’t leave anything blank, even if it seems stupid. Give them all the details, y’know? Trip date, booking time, the driver’s name (if you got it), all that jazz.

  • Fill out the whole form. Every. Single. Part.
  • Include details: Date, time, driver (if you have it).

And that should be it! Seriously, Grab’s support can be a pain, so don’t hold your breath waiting for an answer. I had to follow up twice once when a driver took the wrong way and got me late to my Aunt Carol’s 70th! Still, good luck getting your money back! They really should implement it better.

How to check Grab booking status?

Grab booking status? Check the Activity page, Upcoming tab. Confirmation updates arrive post-booking.

Key details:

  • Activity page: Your booking hub.
  • Upcoming tab: Find active bookings there.
  • Real-time updates: Expect confirmation messages.

My experience: Usually flawless, 2023. Once, a glitch, fixed instantly via support chat— their system, not me. My account: [Redacted for privacy]. I use Grab daily, predominantly for [Redacted – personal info].

Additional Notes:

  • Delayed updates? Check your notifications settings.
  • Booking issues? Contact Grab support directly. Don’t waste time.
  • Payment method: Confirm before booking. Avoid surprises.

Can you have 2 Grab accounts?

One personal Grab account is generally the rule. However, the world of apps is a bit more nuanced.

Consider it like this: a single phone number usually anchors a single Grab identity. I mean, think about it, how else would they track your promos?

  • One primary account: Tied to your unique mobile number, of course.
  • Family accounts: Just one, per user.

Hypothetically, a second phone number might permit another account. But is it worth the hassle of managing two?

It’s like having two wallets – you’re bound to forget where you put that twenty. This year’s Grab policies strongly discourage multiple personal profiles, too. This is probably related to fraud prevention.

How do I pay Grab in the Philippines?

Okay, so Grab in the Philippines. Payment was kinda easy. I topped up my GrabPay using my BDO debit card. Living in Makati, Manila, makes it so simple, and honestly, who carries cash anymore, right? GrabPay is the way to go, plus sometimes they have promos.

Forget scheduling, though. I can’t schedule Grab rides here, period. I was so annoyed last month when I had that early morning flight from NAIA. Had to wake up at 3 am just to book one. Seriously, Grab, get with the program!

Why are there so few Grab drivers?

So few Grab drivers, eh? Is it me, or are we living in a perpetual state of “Where did everybody go?”

  • Holiday Hangover: Blame it on the holidays! They’re off celebrating… or maybe just recovering from the family drama. I know I would be. Imagine needing a vacation from your vacation.
  • Price Gouging, I Mean, Surge Pricing: High demand? Cue the price surge. It’s like Grab thinks we’re all made of money! I swear, sometimes I feel like I’m funding someone’s early retirement with my ride home.
  • Driver Exodus: Less drivers PLUS massive demand? It’s basic math, really. Unless you ask my high school math teacher… then things get murky.
  • Reddit Rants: Ever check Reddit? Turns out, everyone’s complaining about the same thing! “Grab drivers just chilling with orders,” one Redditor moans. Oh, the humanity! Seriously though, maybe the job’s not as glamorous as the ads make it seem.
  • The “Time” Factor: Don’t forget the trifecta of doom: location, traffic, and good ol’ time. The universe seems to conspire against getting a ride exactly when you need it. I bet there’s a law about that. Murphy’s Law of Ride-Hailing.
  • Driver Incentives: Drivers aren’t charities. It must not be worth it. Fuel, Wear and Tear, traffic stress, and entitled customers. That is just the tip of the iceberg.
  • Alternative: Public transport, or walking. Consider alternative transportations. Is it worth it to pay for a more expensive ride?

Okay, Okay. But seriously, the Grab situation is a perfect storm of post-holiday laziness, supply-and-demand economics gone wild, and probably some secret driver conspiracy.
