Grab has brought back the ability to book airport rides in advance after disabling the feature last year. It comes in the form of ' Advance Booking BETA', which was first piloted in Singapore back in March and has since expanded to Jakarta, Bangkok, and Ho Chi Minh City, with Manilla and Klang Valley getting a limited form of the beta that only applies to airport trips.
The enhanced feature lets users book a ride in advance ranging from two hours up to seven days. Moreover, the app claims that it offers on-time pickup assurance where the driver will arrive on time or early. In cases where you might be late to meet your driver, there is a 15 minute grace period. For cancellations, it allows customers to cancel for free up to one hour before the scheduled trip, but late cancellations will be charged a scheduling fee. Additionally, keep in mind that you can only schedule rides to KLIA 1 and 2 in advance, not from the airports.
Given that the feature still has a 'beta' label to it, it is still unclear whether Advance Booking is here to stay. In some cities, scheduled bookings come with a complimentary enhanced Personal Accident Insurance, but that does not seem to be the case in Malaysia.
