Ojek Driver Earnings Can Reach IDR 10 Million: How Many Orders Do They Take?
Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Grab Indonesia has disclosed the earnings of its two-wheeled and four-wheeled driver partners. The figures vary considerably, depending on the driver’s working arrangements.
According to the data, more than 80% of GrabBike (two-wheeled) drivers do not rely on the platform as their primary source of income. For GrabCar (four-wheeled) drivers, this figure is 67%.
These drivers typically have a primary job and use Grab to supplement their income after work or during their free time.
“Many drivers work this way. This highlights the flexibility that Grab offers, and it leverages technology to provide this flexibility,” said Grab Indonesia CEO Neneng Goenadi on Thursday (February 26, 2026).
The presentation showed that drivers who use Grab as their primary source of income, as well as those who use it as a supplementary income, can earn over IDR 10 million per month. For two-wheeled drivers, the average number of orders is 28 per day, while for four-wheeled drivers, it is 11 per day.
Drivers who rely on Grab as their primary source of income are typically heads of households, breadwinners, former employees or entrepreneurs, or full-time professional drivers.
In addition, there are a number of two-wheeled and four-wheeled drivers who earn between IDR 4 million and IDR 10 million per month. For those who use it as a supplementary income, some earn between IDR 1 million and IDR 4 million, and some earn less than IDR 1 million.

Total Number of Registered Grab Drivers in Indonesia
Total registered partners: 3.7 million, but this is not the number of daily active partners. Approximately 19-20%, or 700-800 thousand, work at least once a month.
“Why don’t I say once a month? Because it varies. So, they may work once this month, but not last month. Or they may not work for three months, and then work once. So, we calculate it on a monthly basis, which is why there is a range. The number of active drivers fluctuates each month, but it is usually between 700 and 800 thousand,” said Neneng.
“But are they the same people? No. That’s the difference. This is the flexibility that Grab offers to all its partners. The number of drivers who work is structural,” she added.
On the same occasion, she explained that Grab is quite inclusive, as 182,500 of its partners are women.
In addition, more than 50% of the driver partners are over 36 years old, with the majority being over 45 years old. In terms of education, 69% of the drivers have a high school diploma.
In addition, one in two drivers is a victim of layoffs. “This means that it serves as a social safety net,” she said.
