House, abeg how much can I charge 3 passengers from Lagos to Anambra, I've already told them I'll get back to them... @Felicity0001 and others biko

Sorry I just saw this... I hope you were able to pin down the job.

Good luck.

But make sure your tires are in good shape
Your breaks are sharp
Your engine oil is still fresh
Fire extinguisher is good
Spare tire is intact
Custom papers and car papers are complete and valid.

Buy full tank b4 you leave Lagos and when you get to Benin refill it that will take you to your destination.

Should you have tint on your car? Make sure you set aside money to settle police at each check point irrespective of your document (highway police no dey like see tinted car).

Leave Lagos early, don't use Benin bypass ooh use inside Benin when you get to Benin to link Benin Agbor road then straight to Onisha. Should you have any delay on the road due to construction along the Ore Benin axis and thereby getting to Onisha late? My brother park and you guys should lodge in a hotel. The rate of kidnapping is very high across the country now.

Don't speed beyond 120km/hr, don't engage in F1 with those guys that would zoom and pass you.

Above all, make sure you rest all day a day before the journey so you'll be physically and mentality sound for the long drive.

Above above all, pray for speed and safety from God

. Don’t behave like a felicity, always be cool headed and have self control. No matter how riders behave, abusive or rude just fix your eyes on the money.
. Pray before you leave your house (very important)
. Accept all trips and then decide if you want to go on the trip or not.
. If you don’t want to go, you drive to the PU and then do the needful... (there are some secrets we can’t drop here cos riders full here and bolt agents too grin )
. Dress well, neat and not look like a driver.
. Buy gum, candy and sometimes offer your rider cold drinks and chips. You will be surprised they will gladly take it.
. Try to be unique in ur approach or something different (I’m not saying ass lick dem but do things dt will make dem say waoh u different or I can’t believe drivers do this ).
. Your car should be neat, AC and music on point.
. Above all make your riders happy. If you don’t have all of the above this last one is the most important, develop the skill to put a smile on your riders face. It’s there mood that determines d rating. If u like drive Benz e no mean. Though no matter what u do daughters of jazebel will not smile they must give u 1*

Can we please see your current rating?

Trip did not happen but he was reported.
Just see the extent riders can go? Copying and pasting a drivers name and plate number cos he arrived and canceled. Bolt didn’t charge for canceling yet he went to social media.
Drivers suffer more in this hustle.
Imagine if that was a driver that exposed rider online. They will say confidentiality and bla bla

I should not be saying this in a public forum but if its going to keep putting bread on someone's table, I guess I have done a noble thing.

The thing with staying active on bolt is to outsmart them.

Guys, get another phone and open three bolt rider accounts.

Once your client did not show up goes above 20-22%. Book yourself two times from each of the rider account and cancel.

It will raise your passenger cancelled and reduce your client did not show and you have enough leverage to slide arrive and cancel as many trips as you want with client phone number is unavailable or client did not show.

Other advantages to having multiple rider account is that you can use it to boost your ratings and also to meet your bonus targets.

PS: Note that you must not cancel more than 5 times in 24 hours else you'll be blocked for one day, then one week and indefinitely.



From this moment you've been recruited into the hoodlums drivers association genggrin

I just laughed when I saw the post. 25mins on app, that's nothing less than 30mins in real time and the bagger had the effrontery to say he was waiting for the driver. Me that any pickup more than 10mins (on Gmap), I no dey go.

Island peeps once they see that the driver is far, they wouldn't even bother calling. They'll cancel on their own.

Too poor.
There's this company at Ajah that goes to East with camry spider. They charge 25k per person. Three people only and they leave Ajah between 5-5:30, before 3pm, you're at Enugu.

I don't know what car you use, but assume fuelling to and fro 20-25k
Food and police 10k
Car maintenance after trip 5k
Profit, 10-15k for two days.

No need to panick. Only sure thing is that you will pay; how much?... depends on your attitude n negotiation power.
I encountered them today as well in front of nnpc station coming from cele inward okota.
There was traffic, so I maneuver my way to enter the station via the middle demac.
Unknowingly for me, they are in an oncoming towing van and they just blocked my car right there in the middle of the road.
My rider, a lady who sat at back was winning down the glass on their instructions but i quickly control it frm my side......
Conclusion; every move i made, their driver will closed me down, they tried to deflate my tyre but i kept jacking the car n turning my steering in all directions till i escaped from them: na so all the keke guys dey shout..... I was lucky cos i didnt believed i could escape...

This is one of the things I quickly learnt on bolt as a newbie. Never to go on long pickups except I have the absolute commitment of the rider that he/she will wait.

This is because they will almost always cancel before you get to them and nothing dey pain me pass that thing.

Infact once you do that, I will send you a nasty text message and I don't care if you screenshot it and send to bolt.

Sample text message I once sent to one lady. This particular one was painful because I told her where I was and how long it will take me and the idiot told me to come only to cancel just as I was arriving at her street.

what happens in uber when you cancel after 5mins of waiting and uber pays you for cancelation fee,
and later deduct it by saying rider reported that you weren't visible and was looking for you ?
trip didnt happen but yet reported and uber acted.

what I know is that rider cant rate you when a trip didnt happen, but they can report you once you accept a trip.

Oga it seems you're ignorant of the modus operandi with the app. Several times I'd contested with Uber on several mails about this scenario you made here and my fare was readjusted. Uber is highly classified and they can check pass records before making a decision. One thing with Uber that is also bad is you can only cancel after 5min of waiting but at the pickup zone (within 100m diameter). No matter what the rider will say to Uber that cancellation fee will be charged in either ways.

Most Nigerians are worse than Satan itself, I just found out that my Uber account was blocked due to the fact that i cancelled after waiting for one stupid useless girl who happened to be a Uber staff. The most painful aspect was that i was even the one calling her and for about 4x, "im coming down" was the reply i kept getting. I was to kick my car and leave after cancelling was when she opened the door and sat inside.

Sorry I just cancelled, kindly reorder, I said... Wait time was 15min... I was so pissed that day.

The next my account was blocked for high cancellation. See my profile as at when account was blocked.

dont ask me how I know she's a uber staff and responsible t9 the blocking of my account I mbok.

So get your fact straight.

Welcome onboard.

My brother, there's very little room to cancel trips on bolt without getting blocked . Sometimes you have to drive to heaven just to make a U turn to pick a rider who wants you to pick her from inside her room. Other times you get trips to God forsaken places or useless short trips. So bolt leaves us with no choice, they are in the business to make money and so am I. I am going to maximise every minute I stay online to make the most money I can make.

Even Uber with all those their yeye policy I keep hearing about, if I drove on their platform, I will still outsmart them.

Infact you have really given us the real life scenario. This was the bone of contention that rider can’t report you or get your account blocked if trip did not happen. I sensed this could happen but I’ve never experienced it, so your case is the best example.

But do you know if you had just suck it in the rider would have apologized for wasting your time and your account won’t get blocked?
I’ve waited for 49 minutes paid waiting before, I was just praying rider doesn’t cancel. It was a cool place so I press seat and used it as break time.

I just realised you're not much of an active driver so you may not really understand some of these things especially as your experiences may be limited to the few trips you do.

You are not looking at the fact that next time, the rider will make sure she's almost done with preparations before ordering a ride and will not keep the driver waiting.

Some of those riders who hop into your vehicle just as you arrive might have been schooled by people like felicity in the past.

Yes his account was blocked so what happened? He has survived without them and still doing okay.
