Who pays for ERP on a GrabHitch trip
Hitch Drivers bear the cost of ERP. In cases where Drivers have to enter an ERP zone just to pick up or drop their Hitch Rider thereby incurring additional fees, Drivers may gently ask your Hitch Rider to share the cost with you.
Do check with Rider upon accepting the booking and not during or after the ride to avoid dispute. If rider is not willing to bear/share the cost of ERP, Driver should not impose it on them.
