Experience the Awakening this December with STAR WARS-themed GrabCars. Starting today, GrabCar users can indulge in their STAR WARS fantasy and travel in comfort and style in custom designed vehicles. They just need to book a ride using the special STAR WARS GrabCar icon in the GrabTaxi (known as MyTeksi in Malaysia) mobile app.
One hundred and fifty STAR WARS-themed GrabCars featuring the timeless Imperial Stormtrooper and BB-8, the astromech droid belonging to Resistance Pilot, Poe Dameron, will roam the streets of Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Ho Chi Minh and Bangkok until 30 December as part of GrabCar’s regional marketing campaign in collaboration with Disney Southeast Asia.
Indonesia ups the ante with five hundred specially wrapped taxis and motorcycle taxis in Jakarta, under the GrabTaxi and GrabBike brands. The Philippines will also offer STAR WARS-themed GrabBikes, and will extend their campaign to 14 January 2016. All three brands – GrabCar, GrabTaxi and GrabBike – are available in the same GrabTaxi mobile app.
