Battle of the rides – UBER & Grab

February 15, 2017

RM0.99 or RM0 l UBER vs Grab!


The problem about going out for lunch for me has always been, 1.Traffic, 2.Parking, 3.Too much time spent to look for a parking spot and 4.Traffic again to get back to office. While you can just order lunch, online deliveries etc, sometimes you just want to venture out a little. So we did yesterday and guess what? The Uber ride cost us RM0.99 only!


On their website:

Here’s something to go absolutely nuts over – enjoy 99 sen flat fares, all day, every day, for all those short trips around the city! Getting around town has never been this affordable.
Don’t have cash on hand to pay for parking? Stuck at the station without a ride home? Rushing for an early morning meeting? For two weeks, from Monday, 13 February 2017, you can forget about these problems and ride for only 99 sen!
Remember the price you see before you request is the price you’ll pay, no promo codes needed!

The finer print:
1.     The RM0.99 rides promo is valid until 26 February 2017, on uberX only.
2.     RM0.99 fare applies for both cash and credit card trips. However, for cash trips, your fare will be rounded up to the nearest Ringgit (RM1).
3.     RM0.99 rides only apply for trips under 4 km in Klang Valley only. Not valid for scheduled rides.
4.     Not valid for rides between KLIA and KLIA2.
5.     During unexpected heavy or standstill traffic, the fare will revert to the usual time + distance calculation. For more information on our regular fares please click here.
6.     RM0.99 still applies during peak hours where other fares may be higher than usual.
7.     RM0.99 will not apply if you make multiple stops (or if the trip destination is changed), even if the distance travelled is below 4 km.
8.     The RM0.99 flat fare is calculated based on estimated distance and not actual distance.
AND we think February is now more amazing because, Grab has join in the race to show us rides love! Grab rides will cost you ZERO, yes FREE rides for any fare at RM7 or below (with promo code ZEROFARE)


Here the good news announced on Grab’s Facebook page:
