How to Pay for GrabTaxi or Grab? Payment Methods
Okay, so paying for Grab, right? Ugh, sometimes I get so confused.
For Grab rides, you gotta tap “Transport”. Then, where you goin’? Pick up and drop off. Right there, you’ll see a payment thingy. Tap it.
I usually use my GrabPay balance, ya know? Super easy to top up through the app with my debit card (the one from HSBC, specifically). I remember once, 12/07/2023, I was heading to Pavilion KL from my apartment at around 7PM; I almost forgot to top up, and the driver was already waiting. Cost me like, RM18? Saved me a trip to the ATM though.
Sometimes I use my credit card directly (my CIMB one), but I prefer GrabPay ’cause I feel like I get more rebates or sometin’. It’s linked directly in the app.
Did hear u can pay with cash as well but I’ve never tried it myself. Seemz a bit sketchy sometimes.
What are the payment methods for GrabTaxi?
Okay.
Sometimes I wonder, you know? How things change. Paying for a Grab… feels different now.
I linked my Visa. Always have. Simple, automatic. Still, it’s… detached.
-
Credit/Debit Card (Visa, Mastercard, etc.): Straightforward. The familiar swipe, but invisible now. No tangible exchange.
-
GrabPay Wallet: I tried it once. Adding cash felt clunky. Connecting my bank account… too much access, maybe.
-
Cash: Still works in some cases? Feels… real.
Remember handing over crumpled bills? The driver’s nod. Now it is just an app, and a number.
- Do they even remember me?
- Will I remember them?
- What does it all mean?
It’s just… different. I miss that human touch. A little. Maybe I’m just getting old. That’s what my sister said last Christmas. She’s right, probably. Christmas was good, though.
