SINGAPORE - Ride-hailing app Grab has contacted drivers who rent cars from Lion City Rentals (LCR), urging them to switch across from Uber, whose South-east Asian business it acquired last week.
LCR's 13,000-strong fleet had an exclusive deal with Uber, and on Tuesday, drivers of LCR vehicles received a text message claiming the rental company "is now GrabRentals' exclusive fleet partner".
