Vietnam watchdog probes Grab fare, commission policies after drivers threaten strike

The National Competition Commission, under Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade, is investigating complaints regarding Grab's fare and fee policies in the country, following threats of a driver strike. Drivers have reported receiving lower fares and facing high deductibles, comprising commissions, fees, and taxes. During a meeting on September 8, the commission requested information about Grab's policies and is comparing them with other ride-hailing platforms in Vietnam.

Grab charges a 20% commission on two-wheel services and 25% on four-wheel services. The commission aims to ensure transparency and balance the interests of all parties involved.
