The superapp spotlights off-the-beaten-path destinations and under-the-radar culinary gems through new features: GrabCar Travel Guide and GrabFood 5-Star Eats
This summer, Grab is unlocking a world of spontaneity, discovery, and flavor with #GrabIbaAngSummer—your ultimate pass to unforgettable experiences!
Forget predictable travel plans and repetitive takeout. Grab is here to make exploring hidden travel and food gems easier, smarter, and more exciting with two new features: GrabCar Travel Guide and GrabFood 5-Star Eats.
“Grab is no longer just a utility; it’s your lifestyle companion,” says Ronald Roda, Grab Philippines Country Head. “This summer, we’re embracing our role as the go-to friend who knows where to go, what to eat, and how to get there. From hyperlocal restos to underrated experiences, we’re unveiling the best of the Philippines.”
Discover More with GrabCar Travel Guide
Planning unique summer adventures can feel overwhelming. That’s why Grab is simplifying the search with GrabCar Travel Guide—an in-app feature that curates must-visit spots based on social media trends, search volume, and ride activity.
From hidden bouldering gyms in Quezon City to indie art cafés in Cebu and secret nature spots in Davao, users can browse categories like Thrill Trips, Staycation Hotspots, Chow Zones, and Caffeine Corners. Best of all, selecting a location automatically sets it as your GrabCar drop-off point—no need to switch apps or copy addresses.
“We designed this tool to reduce friction between interest and action,” Roda explains. “Now, anyone can go from ‘I want to try this’ to ‘I’m already on my way’ in seconds.”

- Open the Grab app and tap on the GrabCar icon.
- Scroll down to find the GrabCar Travel Guide section.
