Grab combines cabs and cars in new service

JustGrab will be available on 29 March.

The ride-hailing company has introduced JustGrab, a new service that combines fixed fare GrabTaxi and GrabCar vehicles.

The JustGrab service was beta-tested from 22 March, will be progressively rolled out to Grab’s tiered GrabRewards customers first, and will be available to the general public before month-end.

The JustGrab fleet comprises all HDT, Premier, Prime, SMRT, Trans-cab, and GrabCar driver-partners, forming the largest supply of on-demand vehicles in Singapore. Grab said the increased vehicle supply means JustGrab fares will fluctuate less and be more affordable throughout the day.

In addition, traditional taxi surcharges such as midnight and Central Business District charges no longer apply to JustGrab fares.

Melvin Vu, head of GrabTaxi Singapore, said, "JustGrab combines the strengths of taxis and cars to improve the efficiency and affordability of point-to- point transportation in Singapore. We are positive that JustGrab will help shave waiting time for rides by up to five minutes, and bring us closer to our goal of ensuring commuters get a Grab ride within three minutes every time."

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
