To aid partner drivers from ballooning local oil prices

In a statement, the company said the move was meant to soften "the financial strain of rising fuel costs," which already reached more than PHP 100 per liter for diesel.

[This enables] drivers to continue operating without compromising their earnings or passing additional costs on to passengers, inDrive said.

inDrive said the financial aid was on top of the PHP 5,000 fuel subsidy provided by the government to drivers and operators of public utility vehicles.

The firm likewise said it is boosting its tie-up with fuel firm Seaoil to provide drivers with discounts.

inDrive also rolled out a feature, allowing drivers in high-demand areas to enjoy commission rates as low as 1 percent per trip. The company usually charges 10 percent in commission.

We want our partner drivers and passengers to know that we are aware of their concerns and we are committed to supporting their well-being while we all face these challenges, said Sofia Guinto, country manager at inDrive Philippines.
