Bacolodnon commuters and foodies need not worry about hurting their wallet as they go about their daily trips and satisfy their cravings. Grab makes its suite of safe, reliable and convenient services accessible to more Bacolodnons as it launches new cost-effective solutions in the City of Smiles.
GrabCar Saver, GrabFood Saver Meals, and GrabFood Saver Delivery, alongside innovative subscription plans like GrabUnlimited and Grab RideSaver, are redefining the digital-first Bacolodnon lifestyle, a press release from the company said.
MORE AFFORDABLE EVERYDAY TRAVEL
Since the introduction of GrabCar in Bacolod in 2016, Grab’s flagship mobility service has been serving thousands of Bacolodnons within the city. In Q4 2023, Grab broadened its reach to encompass Victorias, Manapla, Campuestohan, Mambukal; thereby providing more locals and tourists with the opportunity to explore a larger part of the region.
Complementing the evolving presence of Grab in the region is the launch of GrabCar Saver: an innovative service slicing fares by up to 15% compared to regular GrabCar fares. GrabCar Saver offers the same top-notch ride-hailing experience that Grab is known for, priced more affordably. Passengers just need to wait for a little longer to be allocated a GrabCar Saver ride. This allows driver-partners to carefully evaluate the passenger’s destination and the associated fare arrangement, offering a fair and transparent experience for both parties involved.
GrabCar Saver can be easily availed from the roster of other GrabCar taxi types.
In addition to GrabCar Saver, commuters in Bacolod can further reduce their fares by an extra 10% by opting for Grab RideSaver – a subscription package that offers discounted rates for 60 rides, all for the nominal fee of just Php 99. This tipid hack with GrabCar Saver and Grab RideSaver allows passengers to get as much as 25% cheaper rides every day.
CULINARY ADVENTURES FOR LESS
Across food and grocery deliveries, Grab shines as the culinary curator and Filipinos’ go-to app for anything and everything food. According to the 2023 Grab Food and Grocery Trends Report, more and more consumers are choosing Grab for their dining and shopping needs. Leveraging its strong relationship with merchant-partners in Bacolod, Grab launched the Saver Meals P99 category to open a treasure trove of gastronomic delights for Bacolodnon foodies, all starting at a mere Php 99. It’s a celebration of good food, great prices, and the convenience of on-demand delivery.
Grab partnered with its extensive network of merchant-partners to provide affordable and satisfying meals via Saver Meals P99 – an official category on the GrabFood homepage
Saver Meals complement the GrabFood Saver Delivery option on the app, which boasts delivery fees as low as Php 15 for a slightly longer waiting time.
SUBSCRIPTION PLANS
Subscription plans are an effective way of enjoying a bang-for-buck experience on platforms like Grab. The 2023 Grab Food and Grocery Trends Report showed that subscribers to the superapp’s very own GrabUnlimited ordered 2.4x more per month versus non-subscribers – a showcase of the value GrabUnlimited brings to its subscribers.
Recently, the leading superapp enhanced GrabUnlimited, featuring exclusive discount deals for GrabFood, GrabMart, and GrabCar. This industry-first subscription plan goes beyond on-demand delivery, providing the ultimate superapp experience. GrabUnlimited is now more accessible with multi-month plans. The annual plan, priced at Php 240, reduces the subscription cost to a budget-friendly Php 20 per month, delivering on its bang-for-buck promise.
MAINTAINING A ROBUST MARKETPLACE
Vera Cruz shares that Grab is aggressive in its efforts to maintain the robustness of the Grab platform to ensure that every stakeholder gets to maximize every peso spent and earned on the platform. “Concurrent to broadening the accessibility of our services, the affordability strategy of Grab is also to make sure that our driver- and merchant-partners get to serve more consumers, which effectively boosts their earnings potential on our platform. This affordability strategy complements other initiatives that enhance the efficiency and productivity of our partner communities, ultimately resulting in stronger income streams and sustainable growth.”
In essence, Grab’s latest initiatives are more than just new cost-saving features; they represent a lifestyle transformation for each and every Filipino. They’re about enjoying life’s pleasures – a smooth ride, a delicious meal, a well-planned grocery haul – all without the worry of breaking the bank.*
