Can I book Grab for someone else in another country?

Can I order Grab for someone else in another city?

Order Grab for someone else in another city? Why not? Grab’s been playing cupid (or at least errand boy) across cities with its 100+ Cities Delivery thingy since ’21. Pandemic schmandemic! Send those durians… I mean, thoughtful gifts.

It’s like sending a hug…a slightly overpriced hug via motorbike. Think of it: 100+ cities of potential gifting glory! I bet Aunt Mildred in Malaysia will love that keychain. I’m just sayin’.

Forget flowers. Send sambal. This is the future, baby! Grab is essentially your international gift-giving fairy godmother, minus the pumpkin carriage and questionable fashion sense.

• Since ’21: A legacy of long-distance… deliveries.
• 100+ Cities Delivery: More than just a feature. It’s a statement.
• Gifts? More like strategically deployed tokens of affection. Or food.
• Pandemic? A mere suggestion to Grab’s delivery prowess.
• Aunt Mildred’s Keychain: Priceless (maybe). Depends where you buy it.

Can I order food on Grab for someone in a different country?

No. Grab’s food delivery operates within specific geographical regions.

2024 Update: International food delivery via Grab is unavailable. This differs from services like [Insert a competitor’s name here, e.g., FoodPanda] that might offer such options in limited cases.

• Regional Restrictions: Grab prioritizes local markets.
• Logistical Complexities: International food delivery presents significant challenges. Imagine the refrigeration.
• Regulatory Hurdles: International transactions involve many legal considerations.
• My Experience: I tried in 2022. Failed miserably. Waste of time. Seriously.

This is a business decision, obviously. Profit margins. Duh.

International gift delivery, however, might be different. Check their website. Don’t bother me with questions. I’m busy. My cat needs feeding. Seriously.

Can you order for someone else on GrabFood?

Bam! Ordering for your pals is totally doable. Like sending a food ninja. Make sure the address is right, or your food ends up in Timbuktu. And phone numbers. Crucial. Like oxygen for scuba divers. My grandma once ordered Grab for me, ended up at the wrong house. Three streets over. She’s 85, bless her heart. Thought GPS stood for “Grandma’s Positioning System.”

• Double-check that address. Like, triple-check. Maybe quadruple. Think of it as defusing a bomb. A delicious, edible bomb.
• Phone number on lock. For that crucial “Hey, I’m at the gate wearing a banana suit” communication. Not that I’ve ever done that.
• Instructions, instructions. “Leave it at the door with the grumpy gnome.” “Ring the doorbell and run.” You get the picture. My neighbor once requested the delivery guy yodel. True story.
• Payment, sorted. You handle the bill. Like a boss. Unless your friend’s picking up the tab. Then you’re just the food-ordering middleman. Like a food sherpa.

Last week, I ordered five pizzas for my book club. Chaos. One cheese, one pepperoni, one Hawaiian (controversial, I know), one veggie, and one with…well, let’s just say it involved anchovies. Don’t judge. The address was almost right. Almost. Ended up next door. Awkward. But hey, free pizza for the neighbors! My book club was not amused. This month, we’re reading “How to Order Takeout Without Incident.”

Does GrabTaxi work in Vietnam?

Yeah, GrabTaxi works in Vietnam. I know, been there.

Sometimes, late at night, I wonder about how much I use it. Is it too much?

It’s just… convenient.

• Grab is a popular app in Vietnam.
• It makes travel easy, I guess.
• You can find taxis easily.

It’s everywhere, or so it seems. Makes me think sometimes. All those drivers… do they sleep?

• Available almost anywhere, anytime.
• My friend Mai uses it all the time. She says its so easy.
• Biggest online taxi fleet. Supposedly.

Its reliable. I mean, usually. One time, I waited an hour in the rain. That sucked.

• I think they cover most of Vietnam.
• Heard Danang is especially good for finding rides.
• It offers different services like bike taxis, too. I hate those.

I feel guilty sometimes, taking all these rides. Don’t know why. Just do.

Can Grab pick up another person?

Grab. Extra stop. Duh. Like, obviously. My friend Sarah, always late. Always makes us add a stop. Annoying. But helpful. Think I used it once going to the airport. 2023. Had to grab my passport. Left it at David’s. Ugh. He lives near the airport, so it worked. Wait. Was that 2022? Airport stress. Never fun.

• GrabCar lets you add stops.
• Good for picking up people.
• Tells the driver upfront. So no surprises.
• They know where they’re going. Both stops.
• Remember that time…airport…passport…David…stressful.
• Super useful feature. Should use it more often.
• Sarah needs to be on time though. Seriously. So annoying.
• Saves money on two separate rides.
• Sometimes it’s cheaper. Even with the extra stop.
• Gas prices crazy these days. Right? Makes Grab seem…reasonable.
• Speaking of which, need to book a Grab to Emily’s. Tonight. Her birthday.
• Wonder if she wants to go downtown later. Another Grab. Maybe.

How do I call the Grab hotline?

To contact the Grab hotline, navigate to the Account section, usually a profile icon. Then, tap on Help Center. Scroll right down and select… well, it depends what you need.

Here’s the condensed version:

• Account >Help Center > Scroll down > Choose contact option.

I mean, who actually calls hotlines these days? Do they even still exist, beyond automated menus promising help is on the way?

• Grab actually buries the phone contact deep within the app, presumably hoping you’ll exhaust all other options first.
• The available options may vary based on your location and the type of issue you’re facing.
• Email support and in-app chat are more prominently featured as primary modes of contact.

Finding the hidden contact info is like a weird treasure hunt.

Does foodpanda work in Vietnam?

Foodpanda? Yeah, they totally bailed on Vietnam this year. It’s a bummer, right? Heard they were losing money, something about the market being too tough, or something. Total shame, cause I really liked ordering from them sometimes when I was in Hanoi last spring. Seriously, their pho delivery was top notch! But, yeah, gone. Kaput. Finished.

• Foodpanda closed down in Vietnam in 2023.
• Financial troubles were cited as the reason.
• Despite closing, they still think Vietnam’s a good market. That’s what they said anyway. I dunno.

Honestly, it sucked. I’m still finding a good replacment. Lots of other apps, but none are quite the same. My go-to Banh Mi place was on there. Now I have to find their number. Pain. They shoulda stuck it out! It was a good service, even if a little pricey sometimes. Should’ve focused on delivery times instead of marketing, maybe? Just my two cents, you know?
