Luck is when you get a client that dashes you 5k extra after the trip. Luck is when you get a rider that wants to buy you food.
To get a 45k per day offline is definitely not luck.

Riders are drawn from the same pool for everybody, everybody will get his share of bad/good riders. How you convert them beyond a one trip ride is definitely not luck, it is effort. Even if it doesn't seem so.

I tell you, you can have a 2018 Benz on Uber and still not be lucky with a worthwhile rider that wants to meet with you outside Uber (and I am not talking slay queens or whatever they are called now) if you are a totally nasty or uncultured person or have absolutely monstrous bad breath.

Everything has to be just right, so that when your luck wants to shine, it doesn't get overpowered by bad english, or a terrible lack of manners.

Dovehorizon had to work on himself to get a rider who is willing to overlook the "I met him driving Uber" stigma and actually book a date with him. If poster did not look or speak like someone you can hang out with, imagine if he looks distinctly untrustworthy, it doesn't matter how much luck he had, he wouldn't snag a (better) date off the platform.

I am dating a rider who is much older than i am (and is a golden catch, I'm a first class catch myself, or at least so I like to think) for almost 2 years now, and still counting so I know first-hand.

Uber provides an avenue that not many other places provide, you drive people around in very close, comfortable quarters.
Not even a candle lit restaurant can offer the kind of cozy atmosphere Uber gives. Plus the lady has a valid excuse to see you again via offline, so she doesn't have to seem 'thirsty' when she calls you to come pick her. If you turn out to be a bum, well, it was just a trip. But if you turn out to be dovehorizon, maybe it was really a first date.

However as Uber is not a dating site, you will do well to be ferrying your passengers instead of looking for dates, if you meet a kindred spirit and you connect, fine. Otherwise you might misstep, "toast" the wrong woman and get kicked off the platform. And your wife is going to ask you "why".

And I'm not shading you my brother, all the 'you' is just a general way of speaking.

Usually overnight, maximum of 2 days. You need to factor in the weekend.
Log in to your partner profile at www.partners.uber.com and check under documents, if it shows 'in review' in red by noon tuesday then go to the office. Its usually fast so there is never any need to fast track.
You have to take thecar to taxify office.

Good morning all. I'm a newbie on UberX as a driver with my 2001 camry, but the trip fares are abysmally low. it's very frustrating and discouraging putting it mildly coz I spend 40% to 50% of my earnings on fuel alone. Wanna know if there's other category I can upgrade to make more money. Heard about Uber Select, wanna know if a newer corolla or camry fit in and what year?

Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by Enyinne(f): 10:28am On Jun 18, 2018
..i will try to breakdown ur questions for u .
Firstly, u came here projecting a biz for people to come into it based on hear say and not your true experience,u convinced someone to come on board based on HP with a weekly remmitanceof 50k even though it's poor based on what you said passenger pay 20k to 23k per sit which amount to 140k for 1leg to accra and u claimed that atleast u will go twice a week which total 280k but u will remit 50k weekly and u guys agreed .
Then the registration u brought up which I even called u to inquire on his behalf without knowing ur the one he wanted to release his sienna for ,u told me registration is 180k to 200k thereby confirming what u hv earlier told him, he then suggested the first week of the biz will be used for registration and u agreed then subsequent weeks ur payment starts .then problem starts with stories without remittance .
Car was in perfect condition of which I was part of the process to make it happen .the sienna was bought middle of 2017 but a driver ruined the gear and couple of scratches of which I suggested total body auto work with a new gear installed ,u saw it all before the car was handed over to u and u agreed to service the car at the stipulated time which on recovery of the car from u ,oil was barely inside d engine and gear not selecting well cos of carelessness .
By the way who told u that if u pay upfront of 200k to pick up a car on hire purchase that u won't pay ur weekly remittance?the first payment on hire purchase is to show seriousness and not avenue for u to renege on ur payment.
I will not really condemn ur driving skill on this forum but doesn't mean u are perfect either cos I know as much as we preach here for good driving skill ,we can't rule out dent in a car .
Meanwhile slots of goodies going on now with Skye bank esp on HP deals ,u can check them out so u wont take Poo as u rightly said .



quote author=jixasi post=68575757]nice advise..... thank you but before u make conclusions about a deal you are not involved in or you dont really understand you need to ask questions..

1, "Now 1month gone no remittance" one month he hasnt made remittance what is the reason? did he just decide not to pay or what really is the problem

2, "Car was recovered yesterday with gear issue, unserviced and bashed car Upandan with lots of stories to follow up." how come someone that drove your car for 4months withouth bashing it or having gear or mechanical issues now drove a care for a month and the car has bashes up and down on the body?? did u ask the condition the car was before it was given to him? or what really cus the bashes and the gear issues?

try and answer this questions if you cant then ask to be informed...

dont conclude on an event untill you are 100% sure you have the correct story...

from my experience, in as much as that route Lagos to Accra is better than driving Uber it has its own challenges... you are travelling out of your country into another country with people and load not just you and the car...

you need more than a month to stabilize and start making money.

with the new laws and enforcement on Nigerian registered vehicles its a lil bit tougher operating on that route as a private transporter, its easier as a registered company with parks and branded vehicles, so its a rat race for private transporters.

if that driver has paid 200k as down payment... that means he has spent an addition of 300k to register the car to operate that road... that is making it 500k already...

this guy cant possibly spend that much and get the vehicle in the bad condition out of carelessness in one month... so you see there are questions to be asked not coming here to say stuffs about the driver...

madam drivers on this platforms and everywhere go through shit everyday, we dont allow our emotions get 100% of us if not u will hear of accident everyday.

please i advise you get the full gist from all the parties involved before you make a conclusion and come somewhere like this to talk about it....

thank you ma

TheCar:


1. Is the Business Profitable

Yes and No.

It all depends on your entry and exit strategy. No it's not profitable on the short term for Car Owner and Yes, it's very profitable on the long term.

2. Earnings for partner

You need to be crystal clear about which side of the partnership. Do you mean Driver- Partner or Car Owner - Partner.

If you have your car and drive it yourself, you would definitely make more than 35-40k weekly after expenses.

If you have a car but don't drive it yourself, you can get a driver and agreed on a weekly rental payment. Most driver would only agree to deliver 35k weekly.

3. Best vehicle

The real question is what's your budget.

Some would say Hyundai Elantra.

Some believe it's Peoguet

Some believe it's Honda Civic

I believe it's Toyota Corolla (Although Gazzuzz no gree but refuse say why)

4. Contract Agreement

Internet is your friend. You can search for template but you need to edit it to suit your purpose. It's your money, so it's your decision. Protect your investment.

Here are the key things to note:

a. Car repairs and maintenance
b. Weekly Rental Payment - Amount and day of payment
c. Car safety
etc

5. Other advice

You need to ask or take time to read the thread.

Cheers

Thanks for your apt response.

Partnership in terms of Car-Owner.

From your input, having read through thread 1 - 93 and still reading and speaking to several drivers both in Lagos and Abuja, i have come to see that it is could be a fairly good business to venture into-not the best though, but fairly good.

In fact, a driver in Abuja last night who came to pick me said he had made N15k for the day. And this was just about 7pm in the evening.

I intend to get a Corolla 2003 but for fear of Taxify drivers on Taxifylite not getting enough rides, this puts me at a delinma.

I need advice on specific car/vehicle to get btw the ranges N1.5 - N1.8m, fuel efficient, minimal cost of maintenance, etc.

I want to start with one vehicle and proceed to get more vehicles into this line of business.

N35K a week isnt a bad deal if the driver delivers promptly and manages the car well.
I came across a sample contract and will go through it later.

I remain open to advice.
Thanks and God bless

Drivers are not finding it easy making 35k per week and also maintaining the car. If you need your car properly maintained, I strongly suggest you handle all maintenance. Earnings left after fuel, weekly remittance and maintenance is pitiable.
Ask the drivers.
