Attention passengers! Waiting time for Grab rides up to 3 minutes only

Customers will pay $3 per five-minute waiting block.

Grab revised its grace waiting time from five minutes to three minutes for some of its ride-sharing services, which will take effect on 18 July 2022.

Posted on its official website, grace waiting time for JustGrab, GrabPet, GrabFamily, GrabCar, GrabCar Plus, and GrabShare will be up to three minutes and passengers will be charged $3 for every 5-minute waiting block.

For GrabCar Premium, the driver will charge $5 per five-minute waiting block if the passenger goes beyond the three-minute grace period.

Those who will book GrabCoach are entitled to a 10-minute grace period and beyond that, they will pay $10 per 10-minute waiting block.

"You will be automatically charged for the waiting fee if you have exceeded the grace period for waiting time," said Grab.

The ride-hailing app enforced the automated waiting fee policy on 8 January 2020, which allows drivers to add a waiting fee at the end of the ride when their passenger is late.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
