Petaling Jaya, 26 June 2022 - Grab Malaysia announced a concerted effort with a sign-up bonus of up to RM1,000 for any Malaysians who sign up as drivers onto the platform. This is a major push by Grab and is part of the company’s ongoing efforts to bring more drivers on board, to better serve its driver-partners and make transportation accessible for all passengers.  

From 1 June to 31 July 2022, new driver-partners who sign up and fulfil a minimum number of trips will receive a bonus of up to RM1,000 in addition to existing subsidies that would help with the e-hailing regulatory costs. Grab hopes that this concerted effort and added bonuses will attract potential driver-partners to meet the demand for transport amid the post-pandemic reopening.
