Amid continued volatility in global fuel prices that is weighing on transport and delivery earnings, Grab Philippines has mobilized ₱350 million under its Bayanihan Fuel Crisis Support Program to help cushion the impact on its driver- and delivery-partners.
The initiative consolidates a range of support measures designed to sustain partner livelihoods, including expanded incentives, spot bonuses, and commission rebates — a core feature of the program.
A key component is the rollout of rebates through Grab Turbo, a newly introduced driving mode that enables driver-partners to optimize earnings through a more responsive incentive structure. Collectively, these measures have helped bring Grab’s effective commission rate for four-wheel mobility services down to 15%.
To strengthen transparency, Grab has also launched the Digital Earnings Tracker, a portal that allows GrabCar driver-partners to view detailed earnings breakdowns, including total fare, incentives, gross and net income, and effective commission rates.
Beyond mobility, Grab has expanded support for delivery partners through spot bonuses for completed delivery trips. As of mid-April, total delivery rider bonuses have surpassed ₱50 million. The company has also introduced bicycle subsidies for riders transitioning to bike-based delivery, along with performance-based rewards such as grocery credits, fuel subsidies, and medical vouchers.
Grab said the Bayanihan Fuel Crisis Support Program will remain in place as it continues to monitor fuel price movements and adjust support measures based on evolving partner needs, with the aim of safeguarding livelihoods across its platform ecosystem.
“When fuel prices rise, livelihoods are the first to feel it, and platforms like ours carry a responsibility to respond with the scale and speed that the moment requires,” said Grab Philippines Managing Director Ronald Roda. “The ₱350 million we have mobilized is designed to keep our driver- and delivery-partners on the road and their families steady through the crisis. This is what a platform is for, and it is the role Grab intends to keep playing.”
Grab also highlighted private-sector partnerships that have expanded fuel relief access for partners. Through tie-ups with fuel companies, discounted fuel programs have been made available to both four-wheel and two-wheel partners, including MOVE IT riders. Under its partnership with Seaoil alone, partners have generated over ₱2 million in fuel savings. Additional support through Shell Fleet Cards via Grab Financial Group delivered approximately ₱1 million in rebates in March alone.
Looking ahead, Grab underscored its long-term push toward sustainable mobility through its newly launched Eco-Drive Initiative, described as Southeast Asia’s largest EV financing coalition for ride-hailing. Launched in April 2026, the program brings together BDO and BPI; global automakers such as Toyota, BYD, and GAC; and distributors including Autohub Group and QSJ Motors Phil.
The initiative aims to accelerate EV and hybrid adoption among TNVS drivers through preferential green auto loans, flexible daily repayments via the Grab Driver Wallet, and exclusive vehicle discounts.
