SINGAPORE: Ride-hailing company Go-Jek launched a benefits programme for its drivers in Singapore on Wednesday , offering fuel rebates and prolonged medical leave insurance.
Drivers will have to pay a subsidised monthly rate of S$22.40 to S$130.80 – depending on their age – for a standard earnings protection coverage of S$80 a day. The scheme will also cover drivers for medical leave of up to 21 days and hospitalisation leave of up to 84 days. Mr Lien Choong Luen, general manager of Go-Jek Singapore, said that while the number of Go-Jek drivers has been “growing steadily”, efforts like GoalBetter will help attract more drivers to join the company.
