Show your appreciation and thanks
for a job well done
Drivers always appreciate a 5-star rating, and if they’ve provided you a great ride experience, you can leave them a tip* in your Grab app from 22 February.
Whether a driver helped with your luggage, made you laugh, or gave you a safe and pleasant ride, there’s no better way to show your gratitude to your driver for a job well done.
100% of the tip will go directly to your driver. And while tipping is not necessary, it is always appreciated.
Especially if they have gone out of their way to help you.
*Only applicable for rides using GrabPay.

Frequently Asked Questions by Driver-Partners
Can I request for a tip from my passenger?
As tipping is not an obligation, the tips should not be solicited. The passenger may also misinterpret your intentions as touting and harassment.
I can’t seem to see the tipping amounts on my app?
Please update your driver app so that you are able to see the tipping breakdown within the app. You may also refer to your weekly partner statement for tipping information for each trip.
Does Grab receive commission from the tips the driver receives?
No. The tips are a gift from your passengers and will be transferred directly into your cash wallet.
How do I know if I have been tipped?
If you have received tips for your service, you may see your tips received under the History tab, Job Details, Cash Wallet or in your Partner Statement.
