3) Most times, all you need is your common sense. Example, I had a trip request. Pick up point was Anifowoshe area just off Computer Village. On getting there, the person that requested me asked me to park, that himself and his friends are going to Agege. So I parked, and looked behind through my rear view mirror. I saw four guys, drunk and smoking hemp. They were wearing black on black, with red berets. They were carrying black bags ... I drove off and cancelled the ride. Better to err on the side of caution

Please i need a driver for an offline trip tomorrow 9am (March 20) from Opebi to Iyana Oba.

I feel for these driver partners, in a case where it is offline trip that has no record with uber/taxify. How do u secure yourself?

MissKerebete:
Another Taxify driver killed at Lekki Epe Expressway. Drivers partners should be very vigilant and at alert at night. Know when to cancel trip request that might seemed dangerous and suspicious.

So how much should he value tokunbo 2004 camry?

The reason it might be available, is the 250k upfront payment. Most drivers don't have money.

This killing da fear me to enter d business

Please what's taxify current fare rates. I mean base, per minute and per km

daguru:


My dear don't mind them jare.

Car cost me 1.6m. Spent 40k on registration, about 60k on comprehensive insurance, 30k on car tracker changed brake pads and oil change for another 15k

Total spent so far is 1.750k. 80% return on an approximately 2 year investment brings it to about 3.2m

Tell me how my offer is not a fair deal.

Unfortunately most drivers don't have upfront but some do. I'll definitely find the right person in a couple of weeks just like I did for the first 2 cars before this one.

Tomorrow, taxify will tell me not to ask destination. May Godwin's soul rest in peace

IWealthCreator:


How does asking destination solve the problem... the killers can easily give a false destination or change their destination upon entering your vehicle.
Taxify and uber should subject riders to the same measure of checks drivers/partners are subjected to.

You’re right my brother, you can imagine a rider can see ur face when they make a request, while the driver can’t see there face until they get to them. Riders should make a proper registration like driver/partners

most of them are yahoo Boyz.. I had to leave my 3k with them after 3 weeks constantly calling them.. Always waiting for alert.. Person wey get mind to scam white man millions, how e go ever think of karma..

I think your price is fair, those ones crying price too much, don't have a penny to pay as upfront, don't be surprise they are one of the driver's that might have called u, pleading u give then the car without upfront deposit.

mrsage:


I still believe 3.2M is high. Also considering that a Camry is not one of the most ideal cars for the job.

By d way, I don't drive and I did not call him...

But ultimately it's a free market, everyone is free to quote a price. Demand and supply will take care of the rest.

I agree with you bros. Next set of cars would be corollas. Challenge is getting people with good upfront deposit to take them on HP cuz I don't have the time to manage a rental fleet of cars. Also don't want fleet manager wahala.

Moreover a very good corolla is around 2m. Am really wondering if I'll get people willing to take them for between 3.6 and 3.8m HP with at least 350k upfront at 40k per week.

I'll soon give it a try though with 2 units for starters

GAZZUZZ:
hire purchase is a very good way of owning your own vehicle.

With consistent earnings and very few car faults, a focused driver can easily achieve this.

Problems with hire purchase.

1. Loss of focus. When the driver becomes lazy and is only driving to earn his hire-purchase fees for the week (forgetting to put aside some money for maintenance and repairs)

2. vehicle break down. Major repairs (engine/transmission/suspension) could take a toll on the drivers ability to meet up with his H.P payments.
major repairs could result from negligence from driver (longer oil change intervals, ignoring sounds from vehicle, avoiding preventive maintenence proceedures.

3. major accidents without comprehensive insurance (this one explains it's self)

4. Health challenges.

5. A change in E-hailing policies overnight (40per slash by uber)

6.Village people.


As a provider of HP try and add clauses to help your driver achieve his goals.

As a driver with intent to take a HP deal, put all these factors into consideration before you sign the dotted lines. Also visit MFM.

I need urgent and fast reply, on Uber site dey said they now accept cars from year 2000 till date, does that mean i can use my Totoya Camry 2001 evelop light for uber ? Please advice needed

daguru:


A lot of people (at least 10) called with different stories that touch as to why they didn't have an upfront payment for the 2 Camrys I bought 4 weeks ago. Almost gave one to the guy thay posted here with plenty plenty grammar looking for HP without upfront. Decision to turn him down was because he didn't any on the job experience. Would have given one of them to him if he had actual experience driving on any of the platforms.

Right now both Camrys are gone. Took me two weeks to find the right people with upfront deposit and 1 week to close the deal with them. Both cars are now working on the platform.

I have now bought another Camry and am sure I'll find the right person before the end of March.

I wouldn't even be advertising the cars of I was willing to give them out on HP without upfront cuz there is a lot of people looking for that type of deal.

brogxy:

Yes you can, but it is the riders that will chase you out of uber
