Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto said on 2026-05-01 that the government will cut the ride-hailing commission cap from 20% to 8% as part of a policy aimed at improving drivers' welfare. [1]
The regulation will also require companies to provide accident and health insurance coverage for drivers, adding a new obligation for operators in Indonesia's fast-growing ride-hailing market. [1]
Analysts said the lower cap could hit earnings at regional operators, including Grab Holdings and GoTo Group, which rely on commissions from app-based transport and delivery services. [1]
Prabowo announced the change during Labour Day celebrations, setting the policy as a direct response to drivers' concerns over income and protections. [1]
The government has not given a date for when the new cap will take effect. [1]
