Grab & MOVE IT Step Up for Riders Amid Fuel Price Surge

Fuel prices are climbing fast, but riders aren’t left alone. Grab and MOVE IT are rolling out immediate support programs to help driver‑partners weather the storm — with fuel rebates, earnings protection, and fresh incentives designed to keep livelihoods secure and rides reliable.

Powering Through the Price Hike

With diesel and gasoline hitting record highs, staying on the road has become a daily struggle. For riders who shoulder fuel costs out of pocket, every peso counts. That’s why both platforms are stepping in now — to make sure drivers can keep earning, and passengers can keep moving.

Three Pillars of Support

Fuel Relief at the Pump

  • Discounts of up to ₱4 per liter through Seaoil, Caltex, and Blu Energy stations nationwide.
  • Grab Finance’s Shell Fuel Card rebate program: ₱3 per liter cashback for nearly 20,000 eligible drivers.

Earnings Protection & Incentives

  • GrabCar drivers: commission rebates and real‑time per‑trip cashback.
  • GrabFood riders: ₱3 Spot Bonus per delivery, nationwide.
  • MOVE IT’s Power Pasada program: monthly fuel allowances and peak‑hour incentives tailored for motorcycle taxi riders.

Working With Regulators

  • Ongoing talks with LTFRB, DOTr, and DSWD to align platform support with government fuel subsidies.
  • Transport groups and rider communities actively engaged to ensure programs stay responsive.

Voices From the Road

“Fair earnings are what keep drivers on the road. Our priority is to help families survive this volatility while keeping rides reliable,” said Grab Philippines Managing Director Ronald Roda.

Motorcycle Taxi Community Chairman Romeo Maglunsod added: “Support must go beyond survival. Riders deserve dignified livelihoods and a strong ecosystem that lets us thrive despite the oil crisis.”

Commitment to the Long Haul

Grab and MOVE IT stress that these measures are only the beginning. As global fuel markets shift, both platforms promise to adapt — keeping riders supported and the transport network resilient.
