You’ll need to prepare for your trip well in advance by ensuring that you have set up and verified your GrabPay Wallet. Make sure there’re enough credits inside!

Grab has partnered with JapanTaxi in Japan and Careem in the Middle East to provide the seamless service. You can still access everything via the Grab app, and book and pay for a ride via these 4 steps:

  1. Tap on “Transport” to confirm your location upon arrival in Japan or the Middle East
  2. Enter your pick-up and drop-off points
  3. Choose your ride (rates will be in SGD)
  4. Tap “Book Now”

Pretty neat isn’t it? Now you won’t have to install other countries’ taxi apps or hail a cab by the side of the road anymore. Yay for technology.
