Petrol Discounts for Grab and PHV Drivers
If you drive for a living, fuel is one of your biggest weekly costs, and it eats straight into your take-home. The good part is that the driver programmes beat any normal credit card. As a Grab, Gojek or Lalamove driver you can pull 23 to 32 percent off at the pump, while the best a regular car owner gets is around 18 percent.
Who qualifies? You need to be a registered and verified driver on that platform. That means an active Grab or Gojek driver account, or a signed-up Lalamove partner. The discount is tied to your driver profile and the platform payment method, not your car or your bank card, so it works whether you own or rent the vehicle.
Instant driver fuel discounts
These come off upfront at the pump, not as a rebate weeks later. You must be a registered driver on the platform to claim them.
| Programme | Station | Instant % | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grab (GrabRentals) fuel deal | Caltex | 26% | Up to 32% if you clock 30 or more trips in the same calendar month |
| Gojek driver fuel card | Esso | 23% | Stack eVouchers and tier rebates on top to push the total higher |
| Lalamove driver deal | Sinopec | 28% | Valid till 31 Dec 2026 |
| Shell private-hire scheme | Shell | ~22% | Includes a temporary +1% that ends 31 Jul 2026, so it may step down |
PHV rates carry trip conditions and change often, and some end in 2026. You must be a registered and verified driver with the platform to get them.
How to actually get it
- 1. Register in your driver app. Sign up for the fuel programme inside Grab, Gojek or the Lalamove partner app. Grab drivers go through GrabRentals; Gojek issues a driver fuel card; Lalamove links your partner account. Your identity is checked before the rate switches on.
- 2. Pay the right way. For Caltex you pay through CaltexGO with the driver deal linked, and for the others you use the fuel card the platform gives you. That is what tells the pump you are a verified driver and applies the discount.
- 3. Present it at the pump. Show or scan the driver fuel card or app at the correct brand, and the discount comes off the total on the spot. Fill at the wrong brand and you pay full price, so match the station to your programme.
How it compares to a normal card
To be straight with you, here is the best a regular car owner can do at the pump today. The driver rates above start higher than every one of these.
| Card | Station | Instant % |
|---|---|---|
| OCBC 365 / Trust | Caltex | 18% / 17% |
| OCBC | Sinopec | 20 to 23% |
| DBS | Esso | 18% |
So a non-driver tops out around 18 percent at Caltex, while a busy Grab driver hits 32 percent at the same station. On a full tank that difference is real money over a month of driving.
Frequently asked questions
Which platform gives drivers the most petrol discount?
It depends on how much you drive. Grab through GrabRentals starts at 26% off Caltex and climbs to 32% once you hit 30 or more trips in a calendar month, which is the highest instant rate if you are a busy full-timer. Lalamove sits at 28% off Sinopec with no trip target, so it is the strongest flat rate. Gojek is 23% off Esso but you can stack eVouchers and tier rebates on top.
Do I need a minimum number of trips to get the discount?
Not for the base rate. Grab, Gojek and Lalamove all give you the headline instant discount from day one as a verified driver. Trips only matter for the top Grab tier: you need 30 or more trips in the same calendar month to jump from 26% to 32% off at Caltex. Miss the target and you drop back to the base rate the next month.
Does the driver discount work at every petrol station?
No. Each programme is tied to one brand. Grab and OCBC-style deals are Caltex, Gojek is Esso, Lalamove is Sinopec, and the private-hire scheme is Shell. If you pull into the wrong brand you pay full price, so plan your fills around your programme.
Can I stack the driver discount with a credit card?
Usually not on the same litre. The instant driver discount already comes off at the pump, and most cards will not double-dip on top of a platform rate. What you can stack are the platform extras: GrabRentals adds a 2% deferred rebate, and Gojek lets you layer eVouchers and tier rebates on top of the 23%.
How does the driver rate compare to a normal card?
It is a clear gap. A regular driver on the best cards gets about 18% at Caltex (OCBC 365), 20 to 23% at Sinopec (OCBC), or 18% on DBS Esso. As a verified Grab, Gojek or Lalamove driver you start at 23 to 28% and can reach 32%. On a 50 litre fill that is several dollars more in your pocket every time.
Will these driver rates stay the same?
No, they move a lot. The Lalamove Sinopec deal runs till 31 Dec 2026, the Shell scheme has a temporary 1% that ends 31 Jul 2026, and Grab and Gojek adjust their numbers through the year. Always check the current rate in your driver app before you count on it.
