Changing your location on the Grab app is essential for accurate pickups, deliveries, and local pricing. The method differs slightly depending on whether you’re a Passenger (for rides) or a Food/Express user (for deliveries).
Here’s a step-by-step guide for both:

- Tap the pickup address bar at the top of the screen. This will open a search box.
- Manually enter your desired pickup address or landmark, or drag the map pin (
