With the high cost of car ownership in Singapore, many drivers have resorted to several ways to lower the cost of driving. These include driving to Johor Bahru to pump patrol, ensuring that the vehicle is well maintained and car tires are well-inflated.
Besides these common tricks, there is a group of drivers who reduces the cost of owning a car by earning additional income with their vehicle. And it is not by driving full time as a GrabCar driver but as a GrabHitch driver.
For those who have not heard or know what is GrabHitch, according to Grab, "GrabHitch is a social carpooling service that enables regular drivers like you and me to give fellow commuters a lift, meet new people, and cover the costs of owning a car."
Instead of driving to work and being the only person in the vehicle, why not earn some extra bucks by fetching someone who may be going to the same location as you. It can be someone who works in the building opposite yours or even a colleague from another department!
Doing GrabHitch as a driver is definitely rewarding which I can personally attest to especially with the extra income one can make. I have a friend who does GrabHitch on a regular basis due to the nature of his work that requires him to travel often. Based on the conversations that I had with him, he mentioned that he was able to make roughly on average $800 - $1000 per month. It is definitely on the high side and not the norm. Based on my personal experience, it would be about $600 per month.
Below is a table that shows the estimate of what one would make per day, per month and in a year. Do note that this is a rough estimate and may not be reflective of the actual earnings one will make. It can be more or less for you.
To get started on being a GrabHitch Driver for free, you can sign up via the Grab app on your mobile phone directly. It takes about 5 mins to complete the sign up process.
