Grab Introduces Advance Booking Feature
Grab has recently introduced a new Advance Booking feature in its Beta phase, allowing users to plan their rides in advance. This feature enables users to book a Grab ride from two hours to seven days prior, providing convenience for those with scheduled plans or flights.
Key Features of Advance Booking
- Plan rides from two hours to seven days in advance
- Guaranteed on-time arrival of drivers
- Cancellations allowed up to an hour before scheduled ride
- Drivers wait for up to fifteen (15) minutes
While Grab ensures that drivers should arrive on time, external factors such as traffic may still impact the driver’s punctuality. Users have the flexibility to cancel their bookings up to an hour before the scheduled ride, and drivers are willing to wait for up to fifteen minutes.
Currently, Grab’s Advance Booking feature is specifically available for trips to the airport. For instance, a trip from Parañaque costs approximately Php600.
Booking Details
- Available for up to three (3) passengers
- Allows for up to three (3) pieces of luggage
- Maximum weight limit of 23 kilograms per item
This feature caters to users traveling with companions, carrying luggage, or catching a flight. Whether Grab plans to extend the coverage of this feature beyond airport trips remains undisclosed.
