Sunday and Grab partnership offers ‘Triple Benefits’ of Ride-Hailing Insurance Coverage benefit, Health benefit and Rental benefit, to enhance the livelihood and work conditions for Grab drivers.

About Grab
It was 2012 and legend has it, a few friends were enjoying some tea together. As is common with Southeast Asians, they started ranting about how hard it was to get a taxi.
But afterwards, they did something uncommon.
They decided to solve the problem. They started us, Grab (then MyTeksi). Pretty soon, our simple goal had transformed into something bigger – to make Southeast Asia a better place.
Today, Grab is present in eight countries across the region. And countless people like you, use our services every day.
