# M’sian Woman Shocked By E-Hailing Driver Asking Her To Pay Extra 20% To Turn On Aircond

##### A viral post has been circulating, shedding light on an outrageous charge imposed by a driver just to turn on the air conditioner during the ride.

Recently, an e-hailing driver allegedly asked his passenger for an extra 20% charge after she requested to turn on the air conditioning during their ride.

## 20% charge to turn on air conditioner

All started with the e-hailing driver posting on a [Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/indrivemalaysia/permalink/3323270084636659), sharing his dissatisfaction about his passenger.

The alleged driver voiced his dissatisfaction about one of his passengers' request to use the air conditioning. He demanded an additional 20% fee for turning it on. However, the passenger refused his offer and rode without the air conditioner on.

> **"Today, I didn't use the air conditioning in my car. A passenger in my Grab asked me to turn it on, but I told her there would be a 20% charge to do so."**

"Then, she said she wanted to file a complaint against me," he wrote, noting that the passenger would like to make a complaint against him for requesting extra charges.

## Driver's side income

Furthermore, he also said that drivers could actually earn extra income by providing air conditioning as an optional service, stating that it's not automatically included in the fare.

> **"So, it's time for all drivers to be smart and earn 20% from our car air conditioning. We're not in the wrong, air conditioning isn't compulsorily included in the fare." he wrote in the post. **

## The passenger condemned his act

Following this, the passenger came forward and commented under his post, expressing her firm disapproval. She also mentioned that she is a regular user of the e-hailing service and is a registered member.

> **"Please let me know the name you're using on inDrive or Grab so I can block you. I've been using both platforms for a long time. I'm a platinum member on Grab, and I've never encountered such a ridiculous thing." the woman passenger commented.**

## She lodged a complaint against the driver

In the same Facebook group, the woman passenger shared both the screenshot of the driver's post and the conversation screenshot with the e-hailing service's help center.

It appears she submitted the screenshot of the driver's post for further investigation, aiming for appropriate action to be taken against the driver.
