LIFESTYLE@LXG: $15 off your first GRABCAR ride with the code: GCLEAGUE

Although Singapore's public transport system is one of the best in the world, nothing beats having your own personal vehicle. Of course, since the media industry does not pay as well as I would like it to, buying a car outright is not on the cards, at least not for a while, okay, make it long while. Which is what makes GRABCAR so attractive!

With Grabcar, I have my personal vehicle and driver for the price of a taxi. I like the fact that before you confirm your booking, the app tells you the actual cost of the ride, so if it seems too steep, you can simply discard it and opt for a taxi instead. 

How do I use GRABCAR?

Unfortunately, this promo for valid only for first time GrabTaxi app users, or those of you with multiple sim cards ;). Simply download the free GRABTAXI APP from the app store and enter your location and destination and select Grabcar Economy, enter the code GCLEAGUE and get $15 off your trip. Its honestly as simple as that!

The $15 off your first GRABCAR and GRABTAXI ride is only valid from the 28th of July until the 10th of August, so hurry and take advantage of this great offer and share! share! share! with all your friends - after all, sharing IS caring :)

GRABCAR PROMO: IT'S BACK!!!

If you remember back in April, we held our fabulous GrabCar campaign with our partners, GRABTAXI.

Well, it was such a success that Grabtaxi are doing it all over again! From now until 5th July 2015, get S$8 OFF for ONE GrabCar ride (single-use only), when you type in the promo code "GRABLEAGUE"!

And for any latecomers out there, here's a simple walkthrough of how to make a booking on the GrabTaxi app. It couldn't be easier: 

First of all, if you haven't already done so, you'll have to download the free GrabTaxi app onto your mobile phone. The App is available on all platforms.

After you've installed and started up the app, you simply have to enter your pick-up and drop-off locations, and then select the GrabCar service you'd like.

Once a booking is confirmed, passengers will receive their assigned driver’s details – name, mobile number, vehicle registration number and also his photo. They'll also be able to track the driver’s movements as he moves towards them.

Here's the breakdown of the GrabCar fares:

• Based on distance, time, location and demand.Your fare will be shown on the app once you enter the pick-up point, drop-off point, and pick up time (for advanced bookings). Where applicable, surcharges apply to this fare for ERP, additional stops, and additional waiting time.
• Additional stops are chargeable at S$5 per stop if the additional distance travelled is less than 5 km. For distances equal to 5km and above, passengers will have to create a new booking. Maximum no. of additional stops is 3.
• Additional waiting time: S$5 per 10 mins.
• The fare is calculated by the app according to the following formula:
• Base Fare S$3 + S$0.70 Per KM + Advanced Booking Fee $5 (if applicable) + Surcharge
• (if applicable) Surcharges are dependent on time, location and demand.
• Hourly hire is available at S$35 per hour (min 2 hours). Simply key in "SG GC ECONOMY" into the drop off location and select the relevant option to book. 

As previously stated, the great thing is even if we do get caught in a jam or the driver has to take a massive detour for some reason, the fare remains fixed* once you make the booking.

(*ERP not included. Additional stops are chargeable at S$5 per stop. Additional waiting time: S$5 per 10 mins).

LIFESTYLE@LXG: Celebrate Mother's Day with Grabcar!

Celebrate this Mother's Day by treating your mum to a fancy pants ride in one of Grabcar's fleet of cars. Instead of sticking into the train or bus or taxi, show her how much you care by getting her a chauffeur driven car courtesy of grabcar and earn yourself some brownie points!

It's easy as pie. Simply download the free app GRABTAXI onto your mobile phone (trust me, this is one app you won't regret downloading cos it makes getting taxis and cars SO much easier than hanging on the line when you need a cab) and select GRABCAR (not Grabtaxi). Depending on how loving and generous you are feeling, you can choose to book either an "economy" car or "limo". Key in your location, the location you want to go to, and a map will pop up on your screen showing you how many cars are around your vicinity. The cost of the car vs. a taxi, is very minor and with our awesome $8 off your first TWO rides, it becomes even CHEAPER than hiring a taxi!

Just don't forget to enter the promotion code: GRABLEAGUE when you book your Grabcar to ensure that you receive your $8 off :)

Have a wonderful Mother's Day!
