Grab has come a long way since it launched in the Philippines in 2013. From a simple ride-hailing application, it has now evolved into a \u201csuper app,\u201d providing different services such as GrabFood, GrabPay, and Grab Delivery. <\/span><\/p>\n

Well, there’s another reason to love the app as it has\u00a0added two new services, which will provide a safer and more convenient riding experience for its patrons.<\/span><\/p>\n

GrabFamily<\/b><\/p>\n

The aim of GrabFamily<\/strong> is to make traveling with kids safe and convenient by equipping the vehicle with a child seat suitable for ages 1 to 12 years old<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

This is in line with the passing of the Republic Act No. 11229 or the Child Safety in Motor Vehicle Act.<\/span><\/p>\n

GrabFamily can accommodate a total of six people,<\/strong> including one child, comfortably. The driver-partners are 5-star Grab drivers that are knowledgeable and trained to install the car seat correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amenities like wet wipes, tissue, and alcohol<\/strong> are also made available in the car. As of now, this feature is only available for Metro Manila users.<\/span><\/p>\n

To book GrabFamily, select Car in the Grab app home screen and select GrabFamily<\/strong> under Special Services<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

GrabPet<\/b><\/p>\n

Traveling with pets without a personal vehicle can be hard. Your furbabies\u00a0have the tendency to get rowdy and messy at times, which may disturb other passengers or even the drivers. <\/span><\/p>\n

To avoid these circumstances, Grab launched a feature called\u00a0GrabPet\u00a0<\/strong>especially tailored for riders traveling with pets.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In line with the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board\u2019s (LTFRB) Memorandum Circular 2019-019, which allows pets to be transported via public utility vehicle, GrabPet cars are equipped with amenities and equipment for your furbabies. These include a pet kennel, which can fit one large breed of dog, two medium breed dogs, or two cats, a waterproof cargo liner for the rear area, and a pet barrier.<\/p>\n

As of now, only dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, rabbits, <\/strong>and fishes<\/strong> are allowed on GrabPet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Grab also discourages transporting pets via GrabCar and GrabPremium rides to ensure the safety of both the passengers and driver-partners. Moreover,\u00a0 pets that are transported via GrabPet are insured.<\/span><\/p>\n

To book GrabPet, select Car in the Grab app home screen and select GrabPet<\/strong> under Special Services<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
