Grab drivers’ frequent cancellation has been an issue before and users have expressed their dissatisfaction on a Facebook group called “GrabPH Complaints”.

According to some, Grab drivers have apparently been taking advantage of the situation by misbehaving, charging higher fares and cancelling on riders.

One of the riders named Rutchelle Austria shared her experience last April 11 wherein she was asked to pay more than her booked fare by two different drivers.

The act is known to be a violation of Grab’s community guidelines on charging additional fees not agreed upon.

Another post gone viral is by someone named Julie Laconico Tancio. She was informed by her driver that he can’t come to pick her up and told her to cancel her booking. Tancio immediately replied that the driver should be the one to cancel since he’s the one that has a problem. The driver then clapped back that he’ll cancel it later as it’s okay for him because he’s about to eat.

Grab has promised to improve their services.
