For example, the phone number displayed on the Happy card is 555444333, so you only need to enter 55544333 on the horizontal line of Phone

Number in the third row.

after filling it out, click Next in the upper right corner to receive the verification code by SMS, and the registration is successful. After entering grab, click the G-shaped circular icon in the upper right corner to enter the personal center. As shown in the figure below, you can modify your personal data and view the notification message of preferential information in the user center. Select the departure place and destination

At this time, you can start to take a taxi. The boarding place is the departure place, which will be displayed by yourself in general. If the display is not accurate, you can also manually enter it yourself or manually locate it directly on the map.

you can directly enter the address or the name of the crown block subway station, hotel, scenic spot, etc. If it is a common address, you can also click Little Star Collection, which is convenient for entering next time and supports English-Thai bilingual addresses. If you are in Bangkok, you can also choose models, such as Didi taxis, express trains, special cars, etc. The prices of different types of cars are different.

In the next row of options, the column Personal refers to the purpose of riding. By default, Personal is for private use, and it can also be changed to Business for public use. It is mainly used for reimbursement by some companies, and this purpose will be displayed in the receipt after riding.

the second item is the payment method (Cash), which is Cash payment by default, or Alipay, bank card or credit card can be bound to Grabpay. Cash payment is paid directly to the driver, which is also more convenient.

the third item is the car use time (clock sign NOW). If you make an appointment in advance, you can choose to mark it. By default, you can use the car immediately. There is no extra charge for booking the car within two hours. Making an appointment in advance is a bit like a drop-by-drop ride. For example, the three of you are going back to China tomorrow, and you have a lot of luggage. You plan to charter a car to pick you up at the hotel, so you can make an appointment for a seven-seat taxi through grab and wait for you at the hotel gate on time. Or if you want to go to a distant scenic spot, but you are worried about being slaughtered by the driver, you can also book a car to pick people up at the hotel. The appointment time can be from the next two hours to the next seven days. Please pay attention to the reservation service fee of 45 baht to the driver according to the table!

you can enter the discount code in the p>Promo column. Sometimes, some activities have discounts, so you can leave it blank. If you need a more detailed description of your location, you can write it in the comments column to help the driver find you more conveniently. Choose Grab vehicle type

In the bottom line, you can choose the vehicle type you want, and you can choose a taxi, a private car or a motorcycle. The taxi fare will be given a small range, and there will be some fluctuations according to the road conditions. After getting on the bus, the driver will hit the meter and finally charge according to the fee on the meter.

if it is a GrabCar, the fare given is the final fee. Special cars are divided into Economy economy type and Premium quality type. Premium is better, but the starting price and the cost per kilometer are more expensive. Compared with taxis with double-schedule, the special car only counts the distance. In fact, calling a special car in Bangkok with serious traffic jams is not much more expensive than taxis. Click Book to call a car, wait for the driver to pick it up

and then click book, and the nearby drivers will be informed. While looking for a car, Grab will first display your pick-up and drop-off location, estimated amount and payment method on the screen. If the "CANCEL" column at the bottom is not pressed within five seconds, it means that Grab will find a car for you according to your pick-up and drop-off location.

if you take a taxi with Grab, the amount actually paid may be cheaper or more expensive (usually cheaper) than estimated. There is also a special reminder that when you get off the bus, you must add a service fee of 2 baht to the driver according to the amount of the meter (cash only).

after the driver receives the order, you can see the driver's name, phone number, photo and license plate number, and you can also check the driver's location in real time. Usually, after the driver receives the order, he will call you to confirm your specific location. If you can't speak English, you can ask a Thai nearby to help you communicate with the driver. You can also take the initiative to contact, and you can also display the real-time positioning of both parties like Didi.

The difference is that taxi meter charging starts from the time the driver takes the order. If the driver arrives five minutes after taking the order, the starting fee will be more than 35 baht, but it doesn't matter, the difference is only a few dollars, and all nearby cars will be pushed.

compared with other taxis, the logo of grabtaxi will be stuck on the window, which seems to have the same management platform as Didi, so you can naturally get fair price and better service. This method is also feasible when you arrive at the airport. Grab can get on the bus after

confirming the license plate. Drivers in Thailand are very enthusiastic. If you like, you can talk to him in Kan Kan along the way, which is also a very interesting process. Don't forget to evaluate your driver when you choose to pay with Alipay or cash after you arrive at your destination.

after the ride, you will receive an electronic bill at your registered email address. From now on, new users will get a 5% discount on the first order. Once you successfully take a taxi with Grab, you can get 5 baht cash coupons at the service desk of Wangquan Duty Free Shop (Bangkok downtown store, Pattaya downtown store)! Grab models

grab models are mainly divided into taxi GrabTaxi, private car Grabcar(Economy) and motorcycle.

1.Grab taxi

grab taxi is the most common and relatively safe. In fact, it is just an ordinary taxi, but it is printed with grab logo, which is the same as Didi taxi. Although there is a handling fee of 2 baht for booking a car, it is still much cheaper than taking an ordinary taxi. 2 baht is the price for ordinary taxis. If you make an appointment in advance, you need to pay a handling fee of 45 baht. After all, the driver's time cost is included. If there are more people, you can also reserve a taxi with 7 seats, and the handling fee is 15 baht. Grab taxi shows yellow on the map.

2.grab private car

Private cars are shown in white on the map, and the experience is much better than taxis, and of course the price is more expensive. There is no meter-jumping device on this type of car. The estimated price on the mobile phone is the actual price to be paid in the end. There is no additional handling fee, which is the same as Didi's special car. Private cars are also divided into three types: economy, luxury and large capacity, and the prices of different types are different, so you can choose according to actual needs.

3.grabBike(Win) (motorcycle)

Thailand's unique features, if you are in a hurry, GrabBike is undoubtedly the best choice. As we all know, traffic jams in big cities in Thailand are basically very serious, whether private cars or taxis can always make you want to cry, but traffic jams do not exist for motorcycles. The key is that Grab motorcycles are not expensive.

price of p>GrabBike: within 2km, 25 baht; 2-5 km, the starting price is 25 baht, and then 5 baht /KM; Above 5 km, the starting price is 5 baht, 1 baht /KM after 5.1-15

, and 15 baht/km after 15 km; There is a handling fee of 1 baht for using GrabBike. Notes on the use of Grab

1.

After the taxi is successfully called, the driver will drive to you, and the location of you and the driver will also be displayed on the map of mobile phone software. At this time, I suggested that I should also go in the direction of the driver. Because some sections are not suitable for parking, and many Thai drivers have poor English expression, if the car is not convenient to drive to your place, he may not be able to express clearly or know what you are talking about. Generally, the taxis are all nearby, so you can meet each other soon if you walk towards each other.

2.Grab is very suitable for use in Bangkok, but I don't know about it in other cities. Anyway, it is enough to take two cars instead of Grab in Chiang Mai.

3. Although Grab can register by using domestic phone, I suggest using local phone after going abroad, because drivers may not be able to make international calls.

4. Some friends reported that there is no map when opening Grab in China, because Grab uses Google Maps, and you need to use the Internet to see it.

5. In Thailand, many people in hotels, shops and restaurants can speak good English or even Chinese. You can ask them to help you communicate after calling a car.

6. Never tell the driver that you are waiting for him at the gate of 711, because there are 711 everywhere in Thailand! It will be hard for him to find you!

7. At present, there are five cities in Thailand that provide GrabTaxi service: Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Phuket.
