You must own a sedan with 4 doors. The manufactured date must not be more than 10 years old from now.
You can also drive an SUV or MPV. These provide extra comfort to your passenger. Please refer to the updated list from Grab website.
If you don’t own any car, fret not. As long as your name is included in the ConNote of the car insurance. That will do.
Age requirement
You must be between 19 to 69 years old. Even if you get your driving license at 17 years old, you still have to wait the probation period ‘P’ license to be completed.
But if you are too old, more than 70 years old, there might be an issue with your own health and safety of passengers.
