After Grab, Gojek has also increased rates for tech motorcycle taxi service, food delivery, and delivery in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City starting tomorrow (December 12).

In Hanoi, the first 2 km of mototaxi service (GoRide) increases by 1,000 VND to 13,000 VND. Rates will increase from 4,000 VND to 4,400 VND per km (after the first 2 km). These increases are equivalent to a rate of 8.3-10% more.

Similarly, in Ho Chi Minh City, Gojek also increased GoRide’s 2km fare from 10,000 to 11,000 VND. Each subsequent km (after the first 2 km) increased from 3,600 to 4,000 VND per km.

And the price of GoSend delivery service and GoFood food delivery in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City increase equally. With GoSend, the 4000 VND tariff also increases to 5000 VND per km (after the first 2 km). With the GoFood service, instead of the price of 14,000 VND for the first 5 km, Gojek increases to 15,000 VND for the first 3 km. The price per km then increased from 4,000 VND to 5,000 VND.

This move was made by Gojek after Decree 126 came into force, which changes the way of declaring value added tax (VAT) with the technology transport service.

Gojek said that the driver’s deduction rate on all trip income will be adjusted accordingly, including VAT (change) and 20% service charge (no change). However, the actual income of Gojek drivers remains unchanged after the company applies the new price (due to a sharp increase in Gojek’s price).

According to Gojek’s illustration, after the price increase, the driver’s discount rate per trip exceeds 27.2%. This number is equivalent to the current level of Grab.

“We will continue to periodically review our billing structure and make the necessary adjustments to ensure that our rates are competitive and consistent with our sustainable development strategy in the Vietnamese market. Commitment to always comply with all legal regulations in any market in which Gojek operates. “said a Gojek representative on the night of December 11.

With the motorcycle taxi service with GrabBike technology, the rate per km (after the first 2 km) increases from 3,400 VND to 4,000 VND. And the rate calculated based on the travel time (after the first 2 km) increased from 300 to 350 VND per minute.
