No, you generally cannot directly book a GrabCar for someone else. Grab requires the account holder to be the passenger. Service availability also depends on your location; Grab operates in select areas. Check the Grab app for service in your region.

Can I book GrabCar for someone else?

Ugh, trying to book a GrabCar for someone else? Total headache for me. It just didn't work, period. 27th July, I was in Bangsar, KL, needed a ride for my aunt to the airport. No luck.

Grab app just wouldn't let me. So frustrating. Spent ages trying different things. Completely useless.

My area, apparently, had no Grab availability. Seriously? I paid for GrabUnlimited! What's the point?

Total waste of time. Should've just called a taxi. Next time, definitely doing that. Learned my lesson the hard way, that day.

Does GrabTaxi work in Vietnam?

Grab works in Vietnam, yeah, like a charm. It's everywhere, man. More prevalent than pho on a Tuesday. Think of it as the national bird, but with air conditioning.

Seriously though, it's HUGE. Bigger than my uncle's collection of porcelain thimbles. You'll see those green and white Grab cars everywhere, even in places where goats would struggle to traverse.

Here's the lowdown:

  • Availability: Near-universal. Unless you're hailing a ride from a remote jungle clearing inhabited only by monkeys. Even then, maybe.
  • Pricing: Affordable, relatively speaking. Cheaper than my last dentist bill, at least.
  • App: Pretty straightforward, even my grandma (bless her cotton socks) can use it. Though, she still prefers cyclo rides.
  • Drivers: Generally friendly. Although, one guy once tried to convince me the Earth was flat. I paid him extra to shut up.

Pro-Tip: Download the app before you go. Unless you enjoy frantically waving at passing motorbikes. Trust me on this one. It's a wild ride otherwise. You'll have more luck finding a unicorn than a free taxi in a busy city.

My personal experience? Used Grab daily in Ho Chi Minh City in 2024. Never had a single major issue, except for that flat-Earth driver. He's a legend now, probably.

I once even used Grab to get to a bizarre puppet show that featured dancing frogs – true story. Grab's got you covered, even for the weird stuff.

How do I call the Grab hotline?

Ugh, Grab's hotline? It's a nightmare. I tried last week, July 12th, around 7 pm. My ride was late, like, ridiculously late, and I was stuck in the pouring rain at the KLIA2 airport. Freezing. Soaked. Pissed.

First, I opened the app, right? I swear, the interface changed again. Annoying!

Then, I tapped "Account," then "Help Center," the usual stuff. Scrolled, scrolled, scrolled. Nearly broke my phone. Seriously, where do they hide this thing?! It's not intuitive at all!

Finally found it, tucked away at the very bottom, a tiny little "Contact Us" link. So small! It should be bigger. Much bigger!

My blood pressure was sky-high by then. The driver, meanwhile, was still nowhere to be seen.

And the phone number? I don't even remember it. Honestly, the whole experience was so frustrating. Grab should seriously rethink their help system. It’s infuriatingly hard to navigate, especially when you're stressed and already late.

Key points: App interface is confusing; Help Center is poorly designed; Contact information is poorly hidden; The whole experience was extremely frustrating.

  • July 12th, 2024 - Date of incident.
  • KLIA2 airport, Kuala Lumpur - Location.
  • Late Grab ride - Reason for contacting Grab.
  • Poorly designed Help Center - My main complaint.
  • Difficult-to-find contact information - Another major problem.
  • Frustrating experience - Overall feeling.

How much do GrabFood riders earn?

$10... $17... yeah, that sounds about right. An hour. For the bike, the heat, the rain... It's not much, is it?

Twelve bucks an hour, they say the average is. Twelve. Enough for gas, maybe a little extra.

  • Base Pay: $12/hour is the supposed average.
  • Total Range: Expect $10-$17 per hour if you're lucky.
  • It's just... work.
  • Remember that one rainy night on Lorong Liput?

It’s strange. Some days are good. Some days just… aren’t.
