Bros, I wonder where you get some of the facts you present on this thread atimes. It cud be misleading u know. For the fact tht ur driver hs bn remitting constantly for 4months doesnt mean he makes 400k net! Net is the earning after all deductions hv bn taken from gross earning. Invariably, u are saying tht monthly earning will be like 500-600k bringing it to 400k after statutory deductns hv bn made. This is laughable.

Hv u taken time to know hw mch car owners tht drive on uber/Taxify make as gross monthly. You dont stay in Nigeria I believe neither do you drive on uber here so where did you get ur fact from. Bros, u practically do not hv first hand information abt this business. Forget abt what some drivers come here to display to you. Drive to experience it.

Abnitio before the influx of so many drivers and cars including dead ones being churned out by greedy partners as a result of misleading facts like this i cud say its possible. Someone reading this thread for the first time with this fact you jst gave will think Uber business is heaven on earth and thts why some people after reading this will start thinking of resigning their paying jobs for uber jst because of all this misleading and unverified facts. Well, am nt disputing the fact tht there is money in ehailing biz.

Good day. Please does anyone have[b] a good HP deal[/b]? I'm asking for a friend. He has not driven in the platform before. But he is honest and hardworking. He need to do Uber to feed his family. Please anyone?

People that are saying rubbish can keep saying it. As for me oh and as a full time driver that I am, if I see 180k job now, I will quit this rubbish Uber work now now now. That guy won’t appreciate what he has now until he looses it

Only take the advice of full time drivers not , not the ones that do it for fun.

For drivers ranting about quitting Uber for a salary job, the best way to get a job is through e hailing. You drive a lot of people daily & meet new influential people with top positions. If I really need a salary job, I'll always have copies of my credentials in folders ready just in case!!!
I've had a glimpse of hailing biz long before Uber (2009)but things were really difficult then cos every trip is offline and reference is the only way to get more trips. It is all easy now.

Do you know when people on salary start preparing for the day? Do you know when they return home daily? Do you know how much they spent on transportation? How much time do spent weekly in holdups? There's no freedom!!

Truth be told, 99% of car owners(driving themselves) here will reject a salary job below 300k

For your mind, I’m a driver renting cars. Lol. I’ve crossed that bridge a long time ago. I even added another car to my fleet last month, driver is doing fine without a guarantor. I never see any partner see shishi collect from any guarantor. As an experienced driver, I know what really matters, not what y”all are copying and pasting here. Abey make I leave story jare. Make Una dey copy and paste dey go.

today I heard about a vehicle which was on H.P that got burnt on 3rd mainland. I was told the owner asked the driver to produce his vehicle. The vehicle had only 3rd party insurance.


Please vehicle owners if you are to give out your vehicle, it is your duty to have comprehensive insurance (with buy back) before giving it out.

Drivers, Never collect a vehicle H.P or rental without comprehensive insurance

If you need insurance contact axamansard on 08068659732

I am confused and lost

May 23, 2018, you reply one of comments with this -



From your comment above, you make us believed you had 2 cars. You drive one while collect weekly rental on the other.

Let us assume you have 2 cars as claimed and both are on rental, you collect 70k weekly as rental payment. And 70k X 4 = 280,000.

With your 2 cars, you collect Two Hundred and Eighty Thousand - 280,000 - Naira Monthly without doing anything yet you would quit Uber that pay you minimum income for doing nothing 280,000 monthly for a job that requires you do something for 180,000 monthly. I am lost and confused here. Please explain.


On April 02, 2018 you also said and I qoute " I work on a target. I do 10k daily from Monday to Thursday and 15k daily from Friday to Sunday. Some days, it doesn’t take me more than 3hours to make my 10k and some days, luck will just shine and I’d meet those clients that prefer offline and need u for the whole day. 20 to 25k is sure on those days."

If you do 10k X 4 (Monday - Thursday) = 40,000

15k X 3 (Friday - Sunday) = 45,000

Weekly Total - 40,000 (Mon - Thur) + 45,000 (Fri - Sun) equal to 85,000.

85,000 (weekly income) X 4 = 340,000.

So according to you you make/earn 340k monthly driving your own car and collect 140k as weekly rental from your other car on weekly rental making a total monthly income of 480,000 (340k + 140k) and you claim you want to quit Uber for a job paying you 180k a month.

Please sir, what are we missing?

Are your claims false or someone hacked your account

Yes now abi ... funny thing is even when business was sweet drivers still complain, driver still didn't want to deliver their rental, so which way forward my people ...and honestly am starting to belief Buhari when he said the youth are lazy it's either the youth are lazy or greedy it has to be one ... and also if you people can recall during Ogunvic41 time.. Drivers still complain, moan and bi*ch .. After showing them how to make money, so no matter what you can't make this drivers happy ..unless you dash them the car.. Even if you dash them self. Most will still complain that it is not corolla.. So which way forward my people...

There is no definite answer to how much you can earn driving on uber as owner driver.
It all depends on how much you can hustle,how good is your car. As owner driver I must confess there are weeks I earn as much as 70k net and even above, and there Weeks I earn as low as 40k net and even below It all depends how much time I put in. The weeks I start working from 5am to 10pm are the weeks I make 70k and the weeks laziness sets in I work from 9am to 10pm are the weeks earn 50k to 60k. The weeks I earn 40k and below are the weeks I wake up and sit at home, then hustle more in the weekend to cover up for the lost days. Above all its not easy driving for close to 15hours everyday but the reward is figure you churn out weekly.
I also resigned from a 150k monthly job and I think I felt better for the past 6months I have done this job full time because no boss to order me around. My only boss is my rider who I treat respectfully because he pays the bill. I don't worry about unruly riders, there are few of them and some days you won't even meet one, and the days you meet one just be patient. I hope the guy on 180k job will take his time and drive on weekends to learn the ropes first, I did same. Thank you.

On this issue of e hailing profitability
.
Sincerely, no business is as profitable as it was before but whatever the case, we still all depend on it for a living. Car owners here are saying a guy shouldn't quit a 180k job for Uber but the same car owners will not give out their car below 35k/week (140k/month) how much will the driver earn weekly? 5k? Drivers will prefer the old ways of driving Madam upandan Lagos (min driver pay is 45k/month).
Every business has its own way, while some are backing out, others are joining. It's all about your "approach & survival plan"
HP rate in Lagos was 100k/monthly (& still is for dealers without uber knowledge) but here, the minimum you can get is 200k/month with crazy fee. Why? Because we both know there's money in the biz.

Scaring people away from a particular business to prevent saturation doesn't work please!!!
