The TNVS industry continued to mobilize Filipinos amid the challenges ride-hailing drivers faced for the past few months. Acknowledging the needs of its partner drivers and recognizing their hard work and dedication to their craft, inDrive rolled out its Platinum Driver Campaign program, which gave top-performing partner drivers over Php 2 million worth of incentives, fuel vouchers, and special prizes.
During the Platinum Driver Giveaway program period, drivers who reached Platinum status from Metro Manila, Cebu, and Bacolod qualified for a weekly raffle, where 319 winners received laptops and fuel vouchers. To culminate the program, lucky partner drivers took home special prizes, including a BYD Seal 5DMi, M25 EV Motorbike, as well as sari-sari store packages to create another income source for their families.
“Being a TNVS driver comes with its share of challenges, including heavy traffic and expensive fuel. But despite these hurdles, inDrive drivers still show up every single day. This inspired us to come up with this Platinum Driver Giveaway to thank them for their dedication to the job and encourage them to keep on improving their road performance and passenger service,” said Vanessa Taqueban, Driver Operations Lead Philippines.
Growing the Mobility Industry Through Mutual Support to Partner Drivers
The demand for more reliable transportation services has always been strong, especially in urban areas. As of June 2026, inDrive has seen strong growth momentum in its active driver base, with an increase of more than 100% compared to May 2025.
Ensuring that their partner drivers feel supported throughout, inDrive recalibrated its Platinum Driver Giveaway as part of the company’s wider campaign to boost overall driver engagement and earnings. Since its launch last year, the Platinum Driver Campaign has seen the number of top performers increase by 130% from July 2025 to June 2026. The announcement of the giveaway also inspired drivers to earn more efficiently, increasing their weekly earnings by approximately 12% without having to spend more time on the road.
Beyond the Platinum Driver Campaign, inDrive also has several driver empowerment programs to provide them with even more earning opportunities. This includes seasonal incentives where inDrive partner drivers receive top-up bonuses and operational cost relief through fuel vouchers. Meanwhile, inDrive’s Green Zone program is still in place, where select high-demand areas reduce their commission rate to as low as 1%, allowing partner drivers to take home up to 99% of their earnings.
Professional Upskilling and Long-term Learning with inDrive and TESDA Partnership
With inDrive planning to empower drivers through on-the-road skills training, the platform tapped the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to help in launching the Driver Academy. Through this initiative, drivers will gain access to professional training and upskilling opportunities to strengthen their long-term earning potential while maintaining a quality and safe ride-hailing environment for the community.
“As inDrive continues its nationwide expansion, it is vital for us to build a stronger Platinum Driver community, as this can create a more reliable riding experience for our passengers,” said Sofia Guinto, inDrive Philippines Country Manager. “We plan to continue rewarding loyal and top-performing drivers with strategic incentives, further boost their earning potential, and provide them with financial support both on and off the job.”
