Introduction
Please read this Advance Booking Terms of Use carefully. This Advance Booking Terms of Use is to be read together with the Terms of Service (collectively, the “Terms of Service”). By using our Service, in particular, the Advance Booking feature found on the Grab Platform, you are deemed to have read, agreed and understood the terms and conditions of our Terms of Service, which are applicable to you. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions of our Terms of Service, please do not use or continue using our Platform or Service.
All defined terms not defined in this Advance Booking Terms of Use, carry the same meaning as defined in the Terms of Service.
The Advance Booking is a feature on the Grab Platform which allows Consumers to book a transport ride up to seven (7) days till 2 hours in advance.
Consumer – Fees
Please be aware that Grab will be imposing a scheduling fee for Advance Booking. The total fare displayed will include this fee, providing you with the final amount upfront. It’s important to note that this fare is still subject to any other applicable surcharges that may arise at the time of booking (e.g., toll, waiting time fee, etc.).
The specific amount charged may depend on various factors and may change from time to time without any obligation on the part of Grab to notify you of such changes except as expressly set forth in these Advance Booking Terms of Use. Grab is under no obligation to disclose the calculation methods used to determine these charges and scheduling fees.
Please note that once your Advance Booking is confirmed, there will be a pre-authorized charge on your default mode of payment (i.e., GrabPay, credit card, debit card). The funds will be on “hold”, and will only be deducted once your ride is completed. If your ride is canceled, you will be refunded, subject to applicable cancellation policies.
