- Q. Do I need other ride-hailing apps if I have Grab?
- A. Grab alone is usually enough, but pairing it with the price-negotiation app inDrive can be cheaper during peak times or on long trips. Grab has the most drivers and the shortest waits. Install Grab first and keep inDrive as a second option for comparing fares.
- Q. Which app should I use for navigation and public transport?
- A. Google Maps covers everyday needs — setting ride-hailing destinations, finding places and checking LRT/MRT connections, all in one app. Once you own a car and drive daily, the local norm is to add Waze (covered in the car ownership & admin category) for its strength in dodging traffic jams.
- Q. Can I live without a driving licence?
- A. In city centres (e.g. central KL) you can get by mainly with Grab. But in suburbs and areas with weak public transport a car is nearly essential, in which case driving on an international licence, car-sharing with SOCAR or renting via TREVO are realistic options. Check the transport situation of your area in advance.
