What to expect on GrabShare
When booking a GrabShare ride, it will only be confirmed when there is a match between two bookings so that there will be a lower chances of unexpected pick ups and riders and drivers also will be able to look at the routes to take and the time taken to reach the destinations.
Passengers should be able to get a ride confirmation in a time frame of up to seven minutes after the ride is booked.
Once their ride is confirmed, there will be a three minute grace period for the passenger to arrive and be picked up by the driver and should they cancel on the driver allocated to them, a cancellation fee would be automatically charged to them.
Grabshare allows only one passenger per booking so there will only be a maximum of two passengers per shared ride.
