Grab, ComfortDelGro to raise platform fees for rides from Jan 1
The Straits Times
|December 27, 2025
The new fee will apply only to transport rides, with other services – GrabFood, GrabMart and GrabExpress - remaining unchanged.
Taxi operator ComfortDelGro and ride-hailing firm Grab will be increasing their platform fees come Jan 1, 2026.
ComfortDelGro will increase the range of its platform fees from $1-$1.20 to $1-$1.30, it said on its website. This will apply to ride bookings made through app-based platforms, such as its CDG Zig app and Kris+.
Grab passengers will pay $1.20, up from the current 90 cents, the firm said in an email announcement on Dec 24.
In response to queries from The Straits Times, a Grab spokesperson said that as the 30 cent adjustment is to the platform and partner fee, passenger fares will not be increased by a fixed amount. Instead, fares will continue to be dynamically calculated based on supply-and-demand conditions, trip characteristics and time of booking.
