How much commission does Grab take?

How much is the commission for Grab?

Okay, Grab commission… ugh, right.

• 15%-30% commission… I think that’s right. Varies maybe?

• Thailand… huh. I remember Bangkok traffic. Worst ever.

  • Order value: 150-200 baht average. Cheap eats, I guess? What can you even BUY for 150 baht now?

• Commission is definitely their moneymaker. Obvious, duh.

• Merchants probably hate it, tho. I would. That’s a big chunk of profit gone.

• 150-200 baht… translates to what, like $5-6 USD? Wow. My latte costs more.

• Grab MUST take advantage of the order value.

• Do drivers get a cut of that commission? Gotta be. I wonder how much. So complicated.

• That commission feels like a necessity to keep the whole system running.

  • But then again, they can be higher in price.

• It is not a big surprise.

• I can do better if I had the chance.

How much percentage does Grab take from a driver?

Grab? Oh yeah, that’s a thing.

Okay, okay, so Grab… 25% commission, driver gets 75%…right? I’m pretty sure.

• Reddit threads say different things, though.
• Wait, did I read that right? 50% commission somewhere? Nah.
• Must have been some weird case.

I use Grab all the time. To go to the gym, like, five times a week. Or to go to that Japanese restaurant on 14th. Tips aren’t mandatory, that’s for sure.

• Hmm, should I be tipping?
• Nah, my wallet weeps enough already.
• Some people in the Philippines sub are talking about Grab tips…
• Vietnam too, I see.

Okay, so, generally, Grab takes 25%. Drivers get 75% but it can fluctuate?

• Inflation?
• Supply and demand thing, you know?
• Maybe depends on the country too?
• Thailand drivers might have a different deal.

I really think 75/25 is it. The driver still has to pay for gas tho, right? Dang. That’s why I tip, sometimes. Okay bye.

Does Grab take a percentage of tips?

Drivers receive the full tip. Grab doesn’t touch it. 100% goes directly to the driver. It’s a small gesture, but it can make a big difference. Think about it—that extra dollar or two could be a coffee, gas money. Maybe even contributes to something bigger, like their kid’s college fund, who knows?

• No commission taken. Grab facilitates the transaction. They don’t take a cut.
• Tips are important. They show appreciation. For good service, of course. It’s a human connection, in this digital age. Remember those?
• I tipped my driver $5 last week. He helped me with groceries, and I appreciated it, big guy was struggling on a hot day. Small act of kindness, big impact. That’s how my grandpa always said, anyway.

The gig economy relies on these small acknowledgements. It’s not just about the money. It’s about recognizing someone’s effort. Making their day a little brighter. It’s a little different, isn’t it? Compared to traditional employment. Interesting to ponder. Food for thought.

• Consider tipping. Even a small amount. Every bit helps.
• Cash tips are also an option. Directly to the driver. Sometimes, I prefer that. A bit more personal.

My driver yesterday told me he uses tips to buy his daughter art supplies. Little things like that stick with you. What’s the value of a smile? Priceless, my grandma would say. Anyway.
