Epic fail. Arriving at UTH at 8.30 PM on a wet and windy Friday night and trying to register with Grab was a dismal failure. Since there was absolutely no taxis available, I called Mrs tam with 4% remaining on my battery and she came and got me... Bless her heart.

I do note this morning that I have a dozen 4-digit account codes via sms from Grab!

Used grab for the first time this morning. Very easy and about half the price a stinky Samlor rat would try and charge me.

It was a lady driver and she called before she came to ask how many passengers. When she turned up she had brought her daughter along for the ride. Oh and she spoke good English as well.

Will use grab again for sure.

Thank you everyone for posting about the Grab app--I will definitely use it. :-) Any luck lately outside the Ring Road?

Did you get the name of the lady driver, and is it possible to choose among drivers? (I am a lady and prefer to use lady drivers :-) )

The app chooses rhe closest available driver.

You could get the number of the female driver and ring direct..

Sorry. I deleted here details already.

Still no luck outside ring road.

I think it is because they must have a driver within so many km and do not charge to go get you, just for the trip.
I guess it will continue to be a good thing within the ring road. Much better than a Samlar

Grab now collecting outside the ring road.

Recently used them to take and collect from the airport. Good cheap service and brand new car.
