Pls,info On Private Car Hire In Lagos! by leniboy: 1:13pm On Mar 11, 2009
hello everybody,i have read the topics on this section and i know you can help me with my enquiry,i have a honda crv presently in lagos state which i have put up for sale but have not gotten any credible buyers,so i am thinking of registering it and using it for private car hire services in lagos,please is there anyone who has an idea how much i can expect monthly or a rough estimate?

i spoke to a man at the sheraton hotel in ikeja and he said about 60,000 naira monthly, please if you have any idea contribute as i have to make a decision very soon thank you all!!

hi leniboy,
i wouldn't do it. 60k a month sounds okay, not the best for a crv. And that's if the driver doesn't come up with stories each month as to why it'll be less than 60k. "someone bashed me", "tire deflated", "battery ran down" etc. if i were you, i'll close my eyes and just sell off the car even if it means taking a little loss. i cant tell you how much loss most yankee dealers have taken since this whole naira/dollar wahala. Ultimately, its up to you and what you prefer, toro toro or kobo kobo ; smiley. i mean little little bits or a whole!
goodluck sir!

Am assuming you're not based in Nigeria? If that's the case, be very careful when it comes to setting up a business if you're not there to oversee things yourself.

Simply install CCTV inside your vehicle. That way, you can tell how your business is being run.

Asking a Fox to guard the chicken? Why the hassle? Stories will arise for sure. Video spoil. How will u access the tapes/recordings?

thats the right source to learn about registration etc - ask the private car hire guys at the airport, sheraton or anywhere u see them - unless you want to be using it for kabukabu - in which case no registration is needed.

thank you very much for your contribution and i appreciate it,i just decided on that option because the car was just laying there without getting sold and i was advised it could get spoilt if its not used,so i thought it might be better registering it and using it for private car hire,but your comments are totally right and im rethinking my options now

i dont think that will be practical,my thinking is that surely others who live abroad do this business and dont regret?

i cant use it for kabukabu because its not naija used,its a tokunbo car and never been used in nigeria so you can imagine wat kabukabu use within 2 months will do to the car,the company that gave me the quote is at sheraton,but like babeisme and others have said,im not sure if they r honest enough to deliver on the long run

try other car hire outlets in your immediate vicinity and compare the prices,also make sure you sign a binding contract and read in between the lines especially concerning repair and general maintanance of the car and you should have someone that ll supervise the driver
Re: Pls,info On Private Car Hire In Lagos! by bluechild: 2:39pm On Mar 12, 2009
@leniboy,

Car hire business is good business, if you do it right.

Actually, you can make N5000 daily on your car if its on corporate hiring, being used in car pools of companies ( Telecoms and oil).

This sums up to about N150k monthly. So the N60k deal is a rippoff.

Most times, you have to pay your driver and maintain the vehicle by yourself.( this is better for control).

You can also make more if your car is used on overtime (depending on the deal).
In summary, its not a bad idea to do car hire, its just to have the right company to deal with.

Unfortunately, i cant give you any leads, i just have the experience coz i've worked for a long time with companies that employ services of car hire companies.

lennnyboy,
email me and i can give you 2 phone numbers, one for a lady i know who runs a car hire service for companies (it'll be a one year lease and the company pays you directly 10k per day). However, you pay your own driver and maintainance fees but they fuel the ride.
2, phone number to a dealer i trust 100% that'll sell ur car in 2 weeks or less. email me babe_isme2@yahoo.com and indicate you are lennyboy in ur subject pls so i can read it! smiley
