About Grab

Grab was founded in 2012 by Anthony Tan and Tan Hooi Ling, launching first as MyTeksi in Malaysia to make booking a taxi safer and more reliable than flagging one down on the street. The company relocated its headquarters to Singapore in 2014 as it expanded regionally, and has since grown into Southeast Asia's leading super-app, listed on Nasdaq since 2021, covering ride-hailing, food and grocery delivery, and digital payments across more than 500 cities in eight countries.

Key Features

  • GrabCar & GrabBike: Book a private car or motorbike ride with upfront fares and real-time driver tracking.
  • GrabFood: Order from a wide network of restaurants and hawker stalls, with live delivery tracking.
  • GrabMart: Get groceries and everyday essentials delivered from local supermarkets and convenience stores.
  • GrabPay: Pay for rides, food and in-store purchases through Grab's integrated digital wallet, alongside loyalty points on every transaction.

How to Get Started

  1. Download the Grab app and register with your mobile number.
  2. Select a service - rides, food, or mart - from the home screen.
  3. For a ride, set your pickup and destination to see the fare before booking; for food or mart orders, browse and add items to your cart.
  4. Pay with GrabPay, cash, or a linked card, and track your order or driver in real time.

Before you use it

  • Fees: Fares rise at peak hours and in heavy rain; scheduling the ride in advance can lock the price.
