GrabCar has been formally launched in the Philippines earlier tonight at the Vyne Restaurant in Bonifacio Global City.

GrabTaxi, one of the leading Southeast Asian taxi-booking mobile app, is launching GrabCar as an added option on the existing mobile app. GrabCar is a brand new service that provides an authorized on-demand private driver for anyone without the hassle of owning a private car.

What is GrabCar?

GrabCar
is a new service that provides another option for passengers. Like GrabTaxi, GrabCar offers private car drivers the opportunity to build on their income by providing them with a much wider user-base and an efficient driver-to-passenger matching. It also expands the benefits of GrabTaxi to a new network of drivers

It complements the public taxi industry by providing an affordable alternative supply to meet this demand. GrabCar will provide passengers the option to select a private car if they require one and a higher chance to make a successful booking during peak hours.

What has ensured GrabTaxi’s success in Philippines has been its ability to adapt and evolve to meet our user’s needs. That’s why we are introducing GrabCar; we see that there is an opportunity to fill a gap in the industry without taking away business from our core user-base of taxis. GrabCar will give our passengers that upmarket personalized experience while ensuring a fun and authentic ride,” says CEO Anthony Tan.

How to Use Grab Car

To use GrabCar, users can select the GrabCar option which appears on your GrabTaxi app. This will help narrow down the search to GrabCar vehicles for an affordable chauffeured trip.

The free GrabTaxi app which incorporates the GrabCar function for smartphones and tablets is available from Google Play (Android), App Store (iOS), Windows Phone, and the BlackBerry World app store.

Riding in Style w/ GrabCar
 
I tried the GrabCar service a while ago with my wife, for the first time, going to the media launch venue. We simulated booking a trip from our residence in Quezon City to BGC and got a Nissan Patrol in front of our gate. 

The simulated cost, which shows in the app right before you finalize the booking, was Php 474 or about US$10.50.
