Maxim Indonesia is set to introduce an 8% commission for its motorcycle taxi services on July 1, 2026. The ride-hailing company stated this adjustment aligns with government regulations, specifically Presidential Regulation Number 267 of 2026.
Director of Development for Maxim Indonesia, Dirhamsyah, assured that the company will maintain affordable fares for users and provide stable income opportunities for drivers. He explained that the new commission structure will allow drivers to earn a larger portion of each transaction, as the previous revenue-sharing model is being replaced by a fixed 8% commission.
Dirhamsyah highlighted that Maxim's commission rates have traditionally been among the lowest in the industry, typically ranging from 8% to 15%, with an average currently around 12%. The exact commission has varied based on operational regions and vehicle types. By standardizing the commission at 8%, Maxim aims to attract more drivers and continue offering competitive prices to customers across Indonesia.
The company also reaffirmed its commitment to comprehensive protection for both drivers and users through the Yayasan Pengemudi Selamat Sejahtera Indonesia (YPSSI) foundation. This program provides compensation for accidents or other incidents involving Maxim services.
