Dear driver-partners,
These are extraordinary times that we’re living in as a nation. Amidst the uncertainty, one thing that remains unchanged is our commitment to you, our driver-partners. We recognize the challenges that you’ve been facing, and we want to assure you that we’re in this with you.
Thank you for your resilience, patience, and sacrifices - no words can express our appreciation for your continued support. Gojek General Manager, Lien, shares a message with all driver-partners on his hopes as we look ahead to better days.
Here’s all that we’ve done and will continue to do to support you and safeguard your livelihood during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Safeguarding your livelihoods
Extension of up to 100% service fee rebates
As Singapore comes to the end of the Circuit Breaker on 1 June, we recognize that challenges will remain for driver-partners as demand progressively picks up in the country’s three-phased approach to safely exit the Circuit Breaker.
To continue protecting your earnings, Gojek will further extend service fee rebates for all driver-partners till 28 June, in line with the duration of Phase One, also known as Safe Re-opening.

Gojek driver-partner care package
When the COVID-19 outbreak first hit our shores, we made a plan to provide support to driver-partners who would be unable to drive because they have either been issued a Quarantine Order (QO) or Stay Home Notice (SHN), or are on medical leave. This support would be provided in addition to the government’s Quarantine Order Allowance Scheme to better protect your earnings.
The package includes:
✅ Prolonged medical leave insurance
Eligible driver-partners will be covered with up to $1,040.
✅ Waiver of vehicle rental
Driver-partners who rented a vehicle from our GoFleet partners will have their rental waived for the period of quarantine.

Driver-partners had their tier protected for the next program period to continue enjoying benefits from GoalBetter.

Online engagements
🔘 Guided fitness workouts
We recognize the importance of staying active to stay well, so we partnered with Active Health and ActiveSG to bring driver-partners and their family free workout sessions during the extended Circuit Breaker, guided by an Active Health coach.
🔘 Financial literacy sessions
To help driver-partners build a resilient financial plan in the midst of uncertainties, we teamed up with DBS to roll out financial literacy sessions that drivers can participate in for free.

We have been strengthening our educational outreach to you around awareness, prevention, and protection measures related to COVID-19 - including tips on the best health and hygiene practices to protect yourself and your loved ones, and an exclusive health quiz on Gojek’s official Telegram channel.
Mask distribution
As early as in January, we have been actively distributing surgical masks for driver-partners to ensure safer rides. The mask distribution continued even through the Lunar New Year holidays, thanks to our colleagues (hidden masked heroes!) at GoHub.
We will continue to work with the relevant authorities to support you during this season, and find more ways to safeguard your livelihoods. Thank you once again for staying with us and pushing through these unprecedented times. We’ll get through this together.
