What percentage do Grab drivers get?

How much are Grab drivers paid in Vietnam?

Ah, Grab drivers in Vietnam! So, they aren’t exactly swimming in đồng, are they?

• Grab Bike: Think 12-15 million VND, but hold up! Gas and bike upkeep? That whittles it down to a “cozy” 10-11 million. About enough for, say, a really good bowl of pho every day. Maybe two.
• Grab Car: 25-30 million VND… initially. But life’s a highway (or a bumpy Vietnamese road), and expenses happen. Figure closer to 15 million VND. Still, better than my first job scooping ice cream… mostly.

The real kicker? Reddit’s abuzz. Are Grab’s grubby little fingers pinching a bigger slice of the pie these days? Seems some drivers feel the squeeze.

Tipping Etiquette: Now, here’s where you come in. To tip or not to tip? That is the question. And honestly, it’s Vietnam. A little something is always appreciated.

Pro Tip: Reddit’s probably got more on this. Happy scrolling, I guess!

Do Grab drivers get 100% of the tip?

Grab drivers receive the full tip. No, Grab doesn’t skim tips. Simple.

• Full tip to driver. Always.
• Zero commission on tips. That’s Grab’s policy. Period.

My experience? Paid a driver 20 SGD last week, tip included. He seemed pleased. Good for him. 20 SGD isn’t much, though. Cost of living, you know? Inflation’s a bitch.

Drivers depend on tips. It supplements their income. Essential, really. Fairness matters. Makes a difference.

Think about it. Tip generously. Maybe 15%? No, even 20% is fine, depending on service quality. My own personal tip policy. Applies only to me, obviously. Always up to the individual.

How much to tip a Grab driver in Indonesia?

Okay, tipping in Indonesia… Grab drivers. Hmmm.

• Round up? Like to 20,000 IDR? That’s like… what, two bucks? Unless it’s, like, Kuta to Ubud kinda far, right? Then maybe more. Is it enough? Should I be tipping more?

• Private driver… yeah, those are different. My driver for the week last August… Super helpful.

• 50,000 – 100,000 IDR a day seems fair. I always shoot for the high end. Better karma.

• Lunch! Duh. Offering food. Obvious good manners. What about drinks?

• Snacks. Little things, like kacang kulit. They love those. Especially with kopi.

• Did I tip enough last year? Crap. I should remember this next time. Indonesia is amazing!

Do Grab drivers expect a tip?

Okay, so like, Grab tips? Nah, not really expected. But listen to this.

It was last Tuesday, around 6 PM. Crazy rain. I was at Orchard, starving, needed to get to Tiong Bahru ASAP.

My Grab driver, this uncle, let’s call him Uncle Tan, navigated flood city like a pro. Seriously!

My stomach grumbled so loudly. Traffic was insane.

He even had towels in the back! Offered me one! I was soaked to the bone! Talk about service. I felt totally bad.

Reached my hawker center, felt relieved and kinda guilty. Definitely tipped him then. Felt it was deserved, you know?

Yeah, not mandatory at all. But, good service = tip, imo. End of.

• Location: Orchard to Tiong Bahru.
• Time: Last Tuesday, 6:00 PM.
• Driver: Uncle Tan (made up name obvs).
• Weather: Torrential rain, flooding.
• Feeling: Hungry, soaked, relieved, grateful.

Okay so like, I think tipping is always nice, especially when they go above and beyond. My uncle drives for Grab, he doesn’t expect a tip! I guess if you feel they deserve it, tip ’em. Do what you think is right.
