Check what permissions their apps ask for, ask ask if they really need them.

I used Grab car for almost a year, their services used to be much better, but nowadays as you said they re taking more time, and also I found their new rates non sense.
I am using currently Uber, you could say on a daily basis, and I feel much more comfortable, specially that I don t have to use cash anymore as payment is by credit card. And so far it doesn't take more then 7 min to get a driver, and less app bugs, I would have saved much more time if I used their services earlier.

Quality of uber is very variable. Some of the drivers are hopeless and i had several new ones try to cheat me. One went to my destination without me and i was charged for that but refunded eventually. The app is buggy as well.
