Which one should use in these situations? Take, Get, Grab or Pick Up?

Hello,
I know all these words have several different meanings so i will write examples to be more specific.

When talking about entering a car/vehicle and using it right now.

I'll take the car.
I'll grab the car.
I'll get the car.
I'll pick the car up.

When talking about giving a ride to someone in a vehicle.
I've already heard these expressions:
Come pick me up please.
Go get "x person".

Could i also say...
Come get me please.
Go pick "x person" up.
???

When talking about taking an object from any surface.
Pick it up.
Take it.
Get it.
Grab it.

Which ones should i use?
Thanks in advance!

I don't understand what this means.

Yes.

When talking about taking an object from any surface.
Pick it up.
Take it.
Get it.
Grab it.

Those each have different uses. Only the first relates in any way to a surface.

That's the answer i got from another person.


When talking about entering a car/vehicle and using it right now.

I'll take the car. = I'll drive.

I'll grab the car. = I'll hurry to the car.
I'll get the car. = I'll fetch the car.


When talking about taking an object from any surface.

Pick it up. = Lift it from the surface.
Take it. = Remove it from the surface and transfer it to another location.
Get it. = Take it into your possession.
Grab it. = Take it quickly into your possession.



However i'm still very confused. So that's what i replied him.


[Thanks for the answer!
So from what i managed to understand...
To grab means to take possession of something, however it's used only in hurry situations.
To get means to fetch "a thing/person".


Now i'm still confused because, there's a game called pubg in which me and my teammates have to
search for items throughout a place/map.


And when someone finds something useful they say:
- I've found this item, does anyone want it?


And someone else who is at a certain distance from the one who found the item often answers...
I can take it.
or
I'll take it.


You told me that "to take" can mean to remove an object from a surface and transfer it to another location.


But, in the game, they seem to be using it to say that they will come into possession of the item in order to use it.


Is that right? Thanks in advance!]

While take can mean remove an object from a surface, that is far from its only meaning. Take is a very general word with many shades of meaning depending on context.

The verb take does not have any necessary relation to a surface, as shown very well in your PUBG situation.

Of the four verbs used in your examples, only pick up has a necessary relation to a surface. That does not mean that the surface must be literal, and it does not mean that the other verbs cannot be used to talk about removing things from surfaces.
