Grab PH creates new bonus scheme to get more driver partners

To entice more drivers to join its platform, Grab Philippines has created a new bonus scheme for upcoming driver partners.

The company made the announcement after the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) is set to open 4,433 transportation network vehicle service (TNVS) slots on January 9, 2023.

Under the latest incentive program, Grab Philippines is giving up to P10,000 worth of driver bonuses and legal assistance for applicants with six-seater vehicles, and as much as P6,000 for those with four-seater vehicles. 

The bonus scheme applies exclusively to TNVS licenses registered through Grab, the firm added.

The company said that due to mobility standstill, it experienced a shortage of driver-partners in its platform. “Pandemic-induced challenges led to some driver-partners losing their loaned cars to repossession or driver-partners moving on to other economic opportunities elsewhere,” Grab Philippines explained.

Further, Grab Philippines expressed optimism the newest bonus scheme will help address its shortage of driver-partners, and meet the growing demand for GrabCar services as the economy continues to re-open.

“We remain firm in our commitment to making transportation safe, reliable, and more accessible for more passengers. We understand the vital role of efficient mobility in the daily lives of the commuting public, and we are fully committed to providing a much better ride-hailing experience to our passengers as we welcome more driver-partners onto the platform,” Grab Philippines Senior Director for Strategy and Operations Ronald Roda said.

“There is indeed much work ahead of us in further improving the state of ride-hailing in the Philippines, and we thank the LTFRB and DOTr (Department or Transportation) for this development. We are optimistic that these new TNVS slots will truly benefit the many Filipinos who are back on the road on the way to their offices, families and even leisure travels,” he added.

Roda noted that the leading superapp is looking forward to further augmentation of TNVS slots as the country accelerates the post-pandemic recovery of multiple industries.

TNVS operators and drivers interested in being a Grab driver-partner may check out details on the P10,000-bonus program and other driver-partner benefits through its website. The page also shows the accreditation process with Grab, which is a pre-requisite for the LTFRB application. According to the board, a TNVS operator may register up to three vehicles.
