🚕 Taxi & Ride-Hailing

Southeast Asia's dominant ride-hailing "super app," covering private car rides across Metro Manila and other major Philippine cities. About Grab: Grab is a Singapore-founded super app that started as a ride-hailing service and has become one of the most-used apps in Southeast Asia, combining private car bookings with food delivery, grocery delivery, and digital payments under one platform. Key Features: Private Car Booking: Book a private car (GrabCar) with upfront fare estimates before confirming. In-App Payment: Pay by card, GrabPay wallet, or cash depending on your preference and location. Driver Ratings and Tracking: Rate drivers after each trip and track your ride live on the map. GrabPay Wallet: An integrated digital wallet usable across Grab's various services. How to Get Started: Download the Grab app and register with your phone number. Enter your pickup location and destination to see ride options and fares. Choose a ride type and confirm your booking. Pay through the app or in cash, and rate your trip afterward. Important Notice: Surge pricing can apply during peak hours, rain, or high-demand periods — the fare shown before booking already reflects any surge, so check it before confirming if cost matters to you. Availability is also strongest in Metro Manila and other major cities.
