The discounts are higher if drivers switch to a private-hire car via Grab’s rental arm, GrabRentals."
wait a sec... you mean Grab has partnered with all the other smaller taxi operators EXCEPT CDG?!
WHY?
This looks like a deliberate all out war
The partnership of Grab with the "rest of Spore except CDG" came in last year (refer to link below):

My guess about CDG not partnering with Grab is because it does not want its lucrative booking system cannibalized by its own action and then it failed to come up with a comparable one to match - there are tons of business case studies that talked about such behavior been the norm. More often, i guess been the market leader for so long, doesn't help much as well.
