For drivers facing high vehicle costs, fuel expenses, and uncertain boundary arrangements, VinFast and Green GSM’s drive-to-earn program offers a more straightforward way to start earning.
For many Filipino drivers, entering ride-hailing is not just a matter of getting behind the wheel. The cost of buying a vehicle, meeting bank requirements, daily boundary arrangements, and fuel expenses can make it difficult to start, even for those who already have the skill and willingness to drive.
That is the gap RENTAPASADA aims to address.
Developed by VinFast Philippines and Green GSM, RENTAPASADA is a drive-to-earn rental program designed to give qualified Filipino drivers access to a VinFast electric vehicle, the Green GSM platform, and a clearer system for earning through ride-hailing.
Instead of requiring drivers to purchase a vehicle right away, the program gives them a rental-based entry point. Through RENTAPASADA, qualified drivers can use a VinFast EV, accept trips through the Green GSM app, and earn from completed rides within a defined operating structure.
Here’s what that can look like for Filipinos looking to earn through ride-hailing.
It lowers the barrier to getting started
One of the biggest challenges for aspiring ride-hailing drivers is the upfront cost of entering the business. Buying a car usually means preparing a large down payment, going through bank approval and taking on a long-term financial commitment before any income is generated.
RENTAPASADA offers a different starting point. Under the program, qualified drivers can begin the application process with a P5,000 security deposit or initial registration payment, subject to Green GSM’s assessment and approval. Once approved, they can access a VinFast EV without needing to purchase one.
Drivers are also required to meet program requirements, including a professional driver’s license, NBI or police clearance, medical certificate, drug test and TIN.
For drivers who have the skill and willingness to work but may not have the capital to purchase a vehicle outright, this creates a more practical entry point into ride-hailing.
It gives drivers access to a vehicle and a platform
A car alone does not create income. Drivers also need access to passengers, a platform, and a system that allows them to operate consistently.
RENTAPASADA connects participating drivers to the Green GSM platform, where they can accept trips and earn from completed rides. The program also provides access to VinFast electric vehicles such as the Herio Green and Limo Green, built for daily transport operations.

It creates a more structured alternative to boundary-style driving
Many drivers are familiar with boundary arrangements, where they pay a daily amount to use a vehicle and keep what remains after expenses. The challenge is that fuel, maintenance, and other operating costs can quickly reduce take-home income.
RENTAPASADA follows a daily rental model, but within a more predictable cost structure. For the Herio Green, the rental fee is P1,050 per day, with a total daily deduction of P1,300 when the daily deposit component is included. For the Limo Green, the rental fee is P1,350 per day, with a total daily deduction of P1,650.
This allows drivers to better plan daily income and expenses, with clear visibility on what they need to cover and what they can take home.
It comes with charging support built into the model
For drivers, the value of an EV is not just in the vehicle itself. It is also in the support system that helps them operate it every day.
This is why RENTAPASADA is backed by the combined ecosystem of VinFast, Green GSM, and V-Green. The program connects drivers not only to a VinFast electric vehicle and the Green GSM platform, but also to a growing charging network.
Participating drivers benefit from free charging from 13 March 2026 to 31 March 2029, helping drivers to focus on completed trips, service quality, and take-home income instead of worrying about fuel expenses.
As more drivers join the platform, V-Green’s charging network continues to grow alongside the ecosystem, supporting the day-to-day needs of EV drivers and helping make electric ride-hailing more practical at scale. For RENTAPASADA drivers, the goal is clear: access to the vehicle, access to the platform and access to the charging support needed to keep earning.
