In recent times, the popular ride-hailing service Grab has expanded its offerings beyond just transportation, now allowing users to book a wide range of services through its Partner Apps. These apps, accessible via the top section of the Grab app homepage, provide a one-stop solution for various travel and leisure needs.
For those who enjoy cycling, Grab now offers bike rentals through the HelloRide platform, available directly on the app. Users can ride without needing to download extra apps, and can earn GrabCoins for each ride, starting at just S$1. A promotional offer allows users to get their first 30-minute ride for free.
Travel enthusiasts can also make convenient bookings for bus and ferry services to popular destinations in Malaysia and Indonesia through the redBus partner app. With over 200 operators involved, the platform covers major cities like Batam, KL, Melaka, and Langkawi. Promotional discounts are available, including a 50% off first bus or ferry booking, limited to S$7.
Additionally, Grab users can now book hotels and purchase eSIMs through GrabStays and Firsty. The latter provides 100% cashback on the first eSIM purchase made via the app. Hotels booked via GrabStays earn 1% back in GrabCoins, making it an attractive option for spontaneous trips.
For entertainment, Grab also partners with platforms offering over 600 free games and short dramas. These apps, Jolibox and PlaysOut, provide a diverse range of choices, all accessible directly from the Grab app. In summary, Grab's Partner Apps provide a comprehensive suite of services from bike rentals to travel bookings, travel essentials, and entertainment, all integrated within the Grab app.
