Any partner giving 25k weekly for a fuel efficient car , is more than likely giving you car with problems .......

Oh wow! Is that how you see it? Well I am not disappointed this is coming from you but i av people around me driving corolla and camry they collected toks at 25k on HP and even rents, it has to do with the mind, and when you dont take loan to do business you plan well and give good offers that suites drivers in a way they will not over work the car. Is that to say that you give out ur honda civic at 30k cos the car too is fuel efficient woow over 15years old cars that one can easily land in 9ja btw 800k to 1m
People get mind o....

If I may ask, when do you start n wen do you close work. Given that you run a Tue- sun shift author=XGhost post=81382946]Worst case scenario fuel and other OpEx takes a third of my net earnings, that's in a bad week. But normally I spend a quarter of my earnings on fuel and others. 1200 etisalat 1.5gb weekly..

I target 15k weekdays, 20k weekends.
Everybody's happy. My landlord isn't based in lagos, comes and goes... He doesn't see his car for weeks unless he's around and I'm picking or dropping him off at the airport (which he pays for).
Like I said, everyone can make money and we're all happy... Until greed walks in

And u they look for car u don’t even have bicycle..when u have a car in the next 100 years than u can set ur own rules

GAZZUZZ:
any one noticed a surge in Nigerian used corollas all over the place?

dapotemi:


Very true. I have called about 6 today alone. They are all ex uber cars. I won't recommend it for my enemy.

XGhost:



I wake up at 5, online at 6... By 8 I'm looking for a ride to my destination. Sleep anytime from 10, latest 11, I don't negotiate 6hrs of sleep.
I do mostly uber so 12 hours always at the back of my mind. You can see my online hours in my posts.
So I'll say I work an average 12hrs active driving.

dru23:


So you are now the spokesman for all the over 5k partners on uber.. Learn to speak for yourself bro. If you are frustrated or things are hard for u .. It does not mean it's the same for everybody

Gentlelife50:

Dru and co doesn't want to admit the truth, many partners are already frustrated

franksam2009:
Men are seriously cooking up propaganda inorder to reduce rental price,
I can assure you that even if you reduce rental price to 5k your car will still be over used, a greedy person will always remain greedy, though der are few nice compassionate drivers around Sha.
Only a fool will spend 2million on a car and rent it out for 25k weekly(100k--15k service =85k), cos in less than 13 months it's parts will start failing and your so called obedient nice driver will freaking dump ur azzzz

Gentlelife50:

You that once sold of your cars nko? What if you had no means of bringing in cars who knows what would be your fate by now? Or you were one of those partners that have only one car? If this business fail I hope you won't have heart attack the way you always attack anybody that doesn't share your opinion.

XGhost:
Its a false narrative that drivers are trying to perpetuate, in my opinion.
I would say its fueled by greed and a lack of discipline.
It would pay everyone if integrity is made an abiding principle.
Everybody should be making money in this biz, driver and owner.
I'm saying this especially on the backdrop of the number of people who've been forced to the fence... In the end, its the driver that's the loser because most owners do not depend solely on rent from uber, Gazzuz and co are prominent examples. I know the number of riders who've said that they were forced to sell their cars cos of stories from drivers, most of those drivers are still solely dependant on uber.
Been on 35k and never defaulted... Now I'm in the market for my own car.

GAZZUZZ:


The future of Ehailing is owner drivers. It will take a while, but it will happen. For now the savings continue

XGhost:


I still insist that any driver celebrating 25k HP either has no intention of seeing out that deal or he's falling into landlord's trap. On the flipside too, any landlord giving out 25k HP has no intention of seeing it through coz I would imagine that an investor will be eager to turn over the investment in the shortest time possible

vicolame:


This right here is the major challenge in this line of business cos even when you get a good driver then bad road and traffic amongst other challenges will still make it difficult.

biggie101:
Pls how much is the O2 sensor of Camry 05?(for the two)

northbird:
Thanks. Boss, you have raised the bars of positivity on this thread. please one more question. Please can you give a breakdown of ur typical average earnings in an IDEAL WEEK. Like this hypothetically. Work schedule 6am- 10pm
NET( wat uber pays into d acct)- #25000
FUEL- #6000
TAKE HOME- #19,000
Let's exclude other expenses, fuel is the highest cost expentidure ,other expenses can be written off. Thanks.

Gentlelife50:
Before you people come for my head I never said rentals should be 25k oooo,

but for me the end way the job is I don't think I can collect any car above 25k.
And I will say it again many drivers I mean many are doing 25 only few drivers are still doing 35 especially the hardworking ones. The rest is 30k, thank you.

jpworld:


He sold his car when he was collecting rental for 35k.

Meaning he still loose money despite 35k and find other means to raise money to invest.

If you admit he lost taking 35k weekly as an investor, then he will go back to his village doing 25k.

If the business fail owner will carry their most money and do other business.

But most hard working drivers starting up new in life will suffer.
