Are you suitable to be a Grab or Uber Driver?


To be a Grab or Uber driver, processes are pretty simple actually. Just enter into their individual websites, follow the instructions and steps mentioned. After few days examination by Grab or Uber, you will then receive a further email from them on how to proceed to the next steps.

Documents to be ready as below,
a) IC
b) License
c) Personal photo
d) Latest car insurance cover note (with your name, car model, car plate number etc)

Other than above, below are the most important things to be considered before joining Grab or Uber,

1) Do you like to talk to strangers?

There is no rule that be a Grab or Uber driver, you must talk to your passengers. However, you will have to pick up more than 10 different strangers daily from different backgrounds, personalities and temper etc. Therefore, it is quite important on mastering the skills on how to talk to passengers politely, gentlemanly.

2) Can you hold your temper?

Your passengers might be from different working backgrounds, family backgrounds, races, nationalities and so on. Do you manage to deal with all these people when facing contradictions and conflicts? There are many different situations that may raise your anger. Below are the real cases that current or ex Grab drivers faced before,
  • Passenger eats in the car
  • Passenger smokes in the car
  • Passenger damages your car
  • Passenger brings rubbish into car
  • Passenger sets the wrong pick up location and hence blaming your lateness
  • Passenger requests to stop at another location before going to their final drop off location
  • Passenger is not ready when you arrive, you need to wait for longer time and waste the time and chance to get another trip
  • Passenger keep quiet along the trip, when you asking them the exact pick up/drop off location, they just replied "hmm, ahh, uhh, yaa ...."
  • More than 4 pax enter your car (if your car is only registered as Grab (Economy) to fetch 4 pax)
 Apparently, above are just examples of some of the cases. Be ready if you decided to join Grab or Uber ! :)
