Bayo is not his monika, i gave him my 06 tokumbo camry on HP (N35k) weekly without any deposit. after 2 week he came up with stories of hw he can be paying 30k because of family issues, i told him to continue with 30k for 3mnths in other for him to to sort wat ever family issues he has and then go back to the agreed 35k after 3mnth. but wen it was time to strt 35k payment, he came with more family issues and i got tired and called for a meeting with him and my lawyer (meanwhile he carried forward 3weeks payment within that 3mnths he was paying 30k). after the meeting, we agreed 30k but he must make sure he doesnt not skip any week payment.

Before we left he told me he wanted to travel for 1week and he doesnt have somebody to secure the car with and as such he will like to park the car in my compound, and he explained to me that he will change the 2 damaged frnt tyre, spare tyre and the side mirror when he comes back because he was gng for an installation, only for him to call my lawyer after 2 days that the contract did go as plan and he wants to quite uber.

3 tyres are completely damaged, front shocks are gone, front and back bumper dented, passenger side mirror is damage, i am yet to ascertain other parts of the car because i traveled the following day he dropped the car. I have called my lawyer we are going to gt him arrested and also move against his guarantors because we agreed that his guarantor will be held responsible for any damaged caused by him that can not be taken care of by the insurance coy

Its painful because i knw he will still get a vehicle here on this platform..
oga u want to take d driver to court, after collecting rentals of 35k and 30k are u not supposed to fix d car? Is it not d responsibility of d owner to fix d car. What's on d agreement letter? I own a corolla on ubar. I fix d car for my driver except minor fault. Those things u mentioned are major. U don't expect d poor driver to pay rentals and still fix all those fault. I blame him for running, he should have told u d fault for u to fix. Pity d poor man, u can see he has too many family problems.

The truth is that some of the partners here think they are doing u a favour by giving out their car, my brother you sing doing anyone a favour. ,its a business transaction, yesterday, I contacted ogs csrshopper and its being one busy excuse to another, if he is not busy driving then he will get back to me, The good thing is that I am not desperate about this whole thing, I got something doing and I still have a kia optimal 2005 which I can use but I don't really fancy the car but with the way bosses in the house are doing, I got no choice then to contact the owner .

Please remember its a business transaction and not charity.


The reason why I want a car from this platform is that I want to prove to people like Mr Dru that you can do HP and recover your money within the first six month Thanks All

Somethings I have observed about you and your request is that you’re consistent, determined and persistent.

You get a plan and you’re following up with it daily with acute focus.

You know what you want and you have refused to be distracted. For this I salute you.

But there are somethings I want you to fine-tune about your request and quest to own your own car on the platform:

1. Direction - What’s the essence of speed when you’re heading in the wrong direction.

2. Target Audience - Identify your target audience. Identify people who want to do HP not people who are into rental. Asking someone doing rentals to do HP might be mission impossible or trying to get someone interested in HP to do weekly rental. We all have business plans and deviating away from your business plan exposes you to certain risks which you never prepare for from the onset.

3. Clarity - Yes, you want HP but which car make, model and year do you want? What’s your budget? What can you offer upfront as deposit? You need to be clear with your request just other people looking for rentals are clear about what they want, what they can deliver weekly without stories and the assurance deposit they can pay.

4. Attitude - You don’t need to prove someone wrong that something works just because you need it. People you’re trying to prove wrong might have a link which might help you in your pursuit but since you’re out to prove them wrong, do you think they will link you up when the offer comes up.

5. Collaboration & Networking - You need both side of the business to get your request (Drivers and Car Owners) but I observed (I might be wrong) that you only focus on one side of the business (Car Owner). I know some drivers on this thread have to look for a new partner because their old partner change his/her business plan from weekly rentals to HP and since they aren’t ready for HP, they have no other option than to seek new partner on weekly rental basis. If you collaborate with them they will surely link you up with their ex-partner seeking HP.

Hope my thoughts would help you in your endeavors.

Wish you the Very Best of Luck and would be on a look out to celebrate your success.

You are not renting the car out so he can eat, you are renting the car out so you can make money. In actual fact, he is renting the car from you so you can eat. Unless of course you don't take a remittance.
There are people that rent Uber vehicles and pay out of pocket just to have a car to drive around in.

When a driver pays #Assurance, he is your renter/hirer. At this time, he is boss.
It is when you fail to collect #Assurance, you can start to call the person your driver, It is now you are boss. Before that, he is your renter.


Partners often misinterpret their roles and therein lies the problem. A vehicle owner's job is to provide an Uber enabled vehicle. What the driver plans to do with it is his business. So long as it is covered in the Rental/HP agreement (which I have for sale for a small token).

In fact the driver can rent the car and be using it to pick only ladies if he wants to, as long as he makes the car payment every week or as stipulated in the Rental/HP Agreement which you both earlier signed.

That is what every car rental agent in the world would do. As long as what he is using the vehicle for is legit and covered by the terms, and he is using the vehicle in a responsible manner. Whether Uber pays on Sunday, or Togo got to the moon before America, that is renter's business to ..........

Before they come for you with replys lemme quickly help you with some points to quickly enlighten you on the situation.

1. It’s not weekly rental. The driver collect the car on Hire Purchase.

2. Car maintenance agreement differs in Hire Purchase unlike what’s obtained in Weekly Rental.

3. Please read the op initial post preceding the one you reply and you will comprehend why he his taking legal action against the driver.

4. He/She was here to share his/her experience doing HP with us on the platform so please don’t condemn him/her for any action he/she has taken or about to take.

Hire purchase.

Driver was supposed to do due diligence on vehicle before signing the dotted lines.

after doing so, vehicle becomes the property of the driver. All the owner is interested in is his weekly payments until debt is paid then the original papers will be handed to him after the agreed time.

Failure to remit within the agreed time, owner collects vehicle and upfront deposit.

The end

My job as a vehicle owner is to make the car Uber compliant and in good working condition so that I don't hear excuse that you didn't make money and you were limited because the car was not Uber ready, wouldn't it be ironic if that is now the same excuse the driver is using to not pay me. That that same Uber has not paid therefore I can't be paid. Ogbeni, that excuse is too long.

For the Renters, please pay #assurance, it puts you in a position to have a say. It fosters respect.
When you pay #assurance you know it is your money you are chasing, if you truly value working for yourself and saving up to start your own business, this is it. If you are a well-planned individual and you have your assurance deposit in hand, you have the whole city at your feet. You can pick and choose!

We know some weeks it is impossible to not default, but even if you do, the partner will be willing to work with you because he knows it won't be easy to get another good driver who is ready to pay #Assurance.

This is why I advocate #Agreement and #Assurance

Don't play with your business. Sign an agreement and collect/pay your assurance today.

The highlighted are your blunders.

You claimed to be experienced in the business, you write guide for newbies and also have documents for sale but the highlighted above seriously cast some doubts about what you claimed to understand and the type of advise you give new car owners that comes to you for directions doing Uber/taxify business.

1. Someone who can’t afford to feed himself or herself wouldn’t even thought of having millions in his/her account to buy a car for Uber business. So I assumed (might be wrong) that a car owner doing Uber business has passed Struggle/Survival stage (which is ability to feed yourself). Go read and understand these face of life: Struggle - Survival - Success - Significance.

2. Because a Car Owner collect 20k Security Deposit (Assurance Deposit) Now automatically transfer ownership of a car worth above 1 million and in some case 2 - 4 Million to the driver. Boss, wetin happen?

3. So as a fleet manager (which you claimed to be) once a car owner give you a car and you deliver weekly rental twice the car becomes your property but when it’s time to pay expenses like repairs, insurance or car documents renewal it becaomes car owner property. Why Now, Oga experience.

I recommend you take time to under business concepts very well.

To understand the business side of Uber very well you need to read and understand the HEN & EGGS theory.

And please you need to be very diplomatic in your comments, you run a business on this thread so be mindful of your image and perception.

The highlighted aren’t good for business like yours.

............................................


To car owners and drivers, first understand that this is business. So please make your business, a business.

Money only exchange hands once value has been delivered.

For car owners, your partner (driver) isn’t your slave but rather your business partner in Uber. Treat them with dignity because we are all human.

To Drivers, the car doesn’t belong to you once you pay Security Deposit and you’re not doing the car owner any favours driving his/her car on Uber. This is a business transaction so make it strictly business. Don’t damage the car, don’t be reckless with the car and value your health. Be open to learn about opportunities and never ever let your relationship with any car owner be Master - Slave. Don’t tolerate any abuse (that’s if you’re upright and haven’t abuse any opportunity given to you by the car owner or the car which you have be assigned to drive on Uber/Taxify).

We are here to make money.

The drivers need car owners likewise car owners need drivers.

Drivers would be jobless without cars whereas it would be waste of investment if car owner can’t find a driver to use his/her for Uber business.

So please, let us forget stories and go make money joor.

I have posted before on Transportation business.

Drivers want hire purchase so they can get what their limited financial power cannot get. It does not favor the car owner in terms of multiplying profits, although it favors the the car owner in terms of legalese.

Car owners want rental so they can maximize profit from investment. It does not favor the driver in the sense that he is not working to own.

That said a shrewd driver will put himself in the shoes of the owner when negotiating instead of thinking what is in it for me alone.

Agreed that a driver faces a lot of risks on the road, but the car owner faces even more risk, giving someone who cannot afford 1m to 5m control of a property worth that much.

It is not easy to raise capital and that cost and the risk must be respected and rewarded.

Drivers must never ever forget that!

I say:
1.Unless you haven't travelled far before you think everybody that can afford to be a partner on Uber has passed Struggle/Survival mode. I don't have to read up on any "face" of life to know that. As a fleet manager, I have managed cars for many students who tell me that their vehicle is their only asset, and that is where they draw their sustenance from. I have managed vehicles for people who lost their jobs and depend solely on the return their car will give them. You agreeing you may be wrong has nullified your point anyway. Simply because you can't agree you are wrong then base your argument on that same falsehood.

You said

I say:
2. I know you read what I wrote because you quoted it. At what point did you read that you should transfer ownership to the driver because he paid assurance. I encourage you to embolden it as you have done the other paragraphs, I want you to catch me red handed on this one. If you can't do that, then you are only replying to what you think I said VS what I actually said.
But come brother, let's use regular logic, when a landlord rents a house out and agreements have been signed. If the tenant is using the house responsibly under the terms of the agreement [/b]and is [b]paying his money currently, does the landlord have a right to come and tell the tenant how to sit on his toilet bowl. If an Act of God occurs that is neither landlord nor tenant's fault and something spoils in the house. Guess what, tenant calls almighty Oga landlord to come fix,and Oga landlord fixes. You know why, because he has paid Oga assurance for the year.
As I said in the post you quoted, once the renter has paid for the car, and he is using it responsibly (which we check four times a month) under the terms of the agreement you both signed, you have no right to tell him he must drive the car, or not drive the car. That is none of your business. I say this very carefully as a fleet manager, unless you don't know how rental works before you can suggest otherwise, if you do not know, ask. You must allow the renter piece of mind to use his rental, it's the law.
Why would anyone hand over ownership of their vehicle after collecting assurance deposit, that makes no sense to me.


You said:
3. So as a fleet manager (which you claimed to be) once a car owner give you a car and you deliver weekly rental twice the car becomes your property but when it’s time to pay expenses like repairs, insurance or car documents renewal it becomes car owner property. Why Now, Oga experience.

I say:
3. I don't understand what you wrote here as regarding what I wrote, they don't seem to be related.
Oga sir, I hope you know that under rental agreement such expenses are borne by owner, that is standard operating procedure unless otherwise stated in agreement, repair bill is footed by owner, damages bill must be covered by driver. Vehicle owner is required to put the car in shape so that the renter can enjoy what he is paying for. Under which law will you convert the car to your property after rent is paid twice?


You said: And please you need to be very diplomatic in your comments, you run a business on this thread so be mindful of your image and perception.

I say: Being diplomatic does not mean I can't have an opinion, so long as it is not abrasive or hurtful. That you simply do not agree with me is not me being un-diplomatic.

If money can only be earned after value has exchanged hands, how come you prepay your rent and prepay your NEPA and prepay your MTN but you don't want to prepay your rental. If that is the case, car dealers are everywhere, you can always walk up to one of them and tell them you want one week of value using the car before you pay.

In the end, I know it might seem you disagree with me, but your final points prove that, it is really yourself you disagree with. As I said in my earlier post, the driver with assurance is a renter and with him, a car owner is better protected.
It is the one that pays at the end of the week that can be called your driver, it is he you have to be chasing up and down for payment and damage claims.

So please stop this Nigerian landlord entitlement mentality thing you have, it is not needed in business. When you rent out a car with assurance, you are the one offering a service to the renter. He is the one paying money. The customer is king. In as much as you are inclined to disagree, you are not some Lord of the manor, bossing it over your harem of drivers. You are actually a service provider and your job is to make sure you provide top notch service by providing a good Uber ready car.

When you go to AVIS to rent a car with your hard earned cash and pay, who exactly is the service provider and who is the customer?
So because someone is renting your car with his hard earned money for Uber, he must call you boss, what exactly do you need the title for. I would rather get paid than be called boss.

I will keep saying it, a driver with assurance is your customer. Not your staff, nor slave. His job is to keep the car in the condition it was given out, under agreement and pay you. If he damages, he pays or repairs immediately.

The rider is the renter's boss.
The renter with assurance is the car owner's boss, and the car owner is the fleet manager's boss.
As you can see, there is no overall boss, or boss of all bosses or any thing like that. Everybody does his shift and goes home. That is how the partnership works.
I know it is a total mindset shift for you but you will get used to it.

I ordinarily would not reply this, but some of your allusions made it unavoidable. I have nothing but total respect for and would love to hear more from you.

Maybe there should be “A Word Of The Day” series to enlighten and educate people on the advantages and disadvantages of Hire Purchase and Weekly Rental Payment.

When people are well informed, making decisions and choices becomes extremely Easy.

Oga, if you don't know just say you don't know, let's all teach each other.
