VIA GRAPHIC PLUS — To help partner drivers further maximize their earning opportunities amid the current economic crisis, Lalamove, the leading on-demand delivery and ride-hailing platform, is extending its 0% commission scheme for its ride-hailing service, Lalamove Ride, until the remainder of 2026—a model that has been in place for six months, beginning last December of 2025.
Launched in February 2025, Lalamove Ride started with a 2% commission, then pivoted to 0% in December to encourage more partner drivers to accept orders and ease transportation woes experienced by passengers daily. With today’s economic pressures, Lalamove Ride aims to support partner drivers’ livelihoods by maintaining its 0% commission model, allowing them to earn 100% of their income per booking, with no commission or deductions—making Lalamove the only platform in the Philippines to offer this commission scheme to all of its ride-hailing partner drivers with no conditions.
According to Ronald Valdez, a Lalamove Ride partner driver, he has been able to maximize his earnings for almost six months now since the platform implemented the 0% commission.
“Matagal ko na rin tine-take advantage ‘yung mababang 0% commission, lalo na ngayon, dumadami na rin ‘yung bookings, kaya nakakatulong talaga sa pang-araw-araw na gastusin dahil nakakadagdag talaga sa kinikita ko,” he said.
Another Lalamove Ride partner driver based in Rizal also shared that the 100% take-home pay is very helpful for drivers like him who prefer long-distance rides.
“Taga-Rizal pa ako, kaya madalas long-distance rin ‘yung mga bookings ko, kaya nakakatulong talaga ‘yung 0% commission, lalo na ngayon mataas ang presyo ng krudo,” he said.
Safeguarding Partner Drivers’ Income
“We recognize the current challenges that our partner drivers are facing today, from volatile fuel prices to other forms of economic pressures. As the only ride-hailing platform in the Philippines that offers 0% commission with no conditions or catch, we hope that we’re able to further support and boost the daily income of all ride-hailing partner drivers amidst this difficult period,” said Djon Nacario, Managing Director of Lalamove Philippines.
“This is a real benefit that partner drivers can take advantage of, and we don’t want them to miss out on this opportunity of boosting their income. We hope that with our serious dedication to provide meaningful income opportunities by implementing a 0% commission, we can encourage more ride-hailing partner drivers to sign up for Lalamove Ride,” he added.
Lalamove also supports its partner drivers with various benefits under its Panalomove Driver Benefits, including fuel discounts, accident insurance, and health assistance.
