Carshopper:
Let's hang out at amazing grace, pako ogudu

He lied
He said "does that mean I can use my 2001 Camry for Uber" and that was 7 days ago, meaning he's been driving for like 3 days now

dru23:
I see am at first... but I figured he meant to say he was driving a 2001 camry for two months and he now noticed that uber actually accepts cars from 2000. Make he come explain himself sha ... make we give him time

That's different from going to the market to purchase such car, for the sole purpose of doing Uber business

Dovehorizon:
Yes it doesn't come cheap but working smart can cover up for it.
You highlighted a sentence, in the quest of trying to sell your car to get uber worthy ride, what happens when you do not get a buyer? Sit and home and write an epistle? Nope...

It's doesn't come cheap, but it seems like you want to offer humanitarian services, because the fares are low

Dovehorizon:
I ordered an uber for a friend and the driver came with a highlander, like I said earlier, it's not always about the size of the engine, it's about bin smart.

Talking about brand of cars, I see where people say only xyz cars will stand the test of time, they are right to an extent but not entirely, if you haven't driven other brands then it's wrong to ascertain that other brands won't, afterall I still see some rickety Volvo carrying tomatoes around Mile12. Some cars are problematic but with diligence and good maintenance culture it would serve you well and that's if you drive it yourself but if you ain't driving yourself then stick to xyz brand.

If I decide I wanna drive on uber and should I want to go for a 2.5litre engine then it would be a 2014 Camry or 2014 Honda Accord, yes i have class and I also know there are riders who also deserve such...

Like I said, it's all about working smart.

Bad advice

dru23:
I have a big daddy delivery 35k a week strong car ... so what is the big deal . I have few elantras American spec 2.0liter . Drivers never once complain about the chopping fuel ... so what is the noise about shouting up and dwn. He should buy whatever his money can buy now , As long has its not a v6 engine.... Abi you want contribute money give am buy 1.8l ..... I tire

Don't buy big daddy Camry for Uber, the engine is too big, buy a car with 1.8L or lower engine

toliamy:
Tanks bro. I'm getting toks.

Yes you can, but both of you can't use 1 car simultaneously

Bnenzzy101:
Can two drivers drive one car with uber? I know taxify does it. my friend and I drives one car on taxify but don't know if uber do the same and how do I add more than one driver to a car on uber platform. Thank you

Uber calculates your rating over your last 500 rated trips

bily:
as a rider/driver, regarding Uber rating system, these are my own personal conclusions

.. a rating system is very much required and the purpose which is primarily to keep drivers on their toes in terms of service delivery and weed out bad drivers makes a lot of sense

...uber rating system is too simple, I believe the calculation should be much more complex. the simplicity of using normal averages makes it very very unfair to drivers. a form of weighted averages would have been better. for example if 4 people rates a driver 5 stars after which driver now gets a 1 rating, his average rating will be drop from 5 star to 4.2 immediately ie 5x4 +1x1=21/5=4.2. it will now require so many 5 star rating to get to 4.7 and the driver will never be on 5 star again even if he keeps getting 5 stars rating subsequently. so think this is the part that needs to be worked on

...rating systems should also affect riders. riders should also get temporarily blocked for low ratings this will also make riders sit up and be better clients

That's not a block, check expiry date of your documents

SpeedGod:
Please what should I do now, I think they have already blocked me The app is saying vehicle is invalid .

Apart from the fact that EOD isn't the right car for ehailing (Engine size too big).
Get a car tracker and comprehensive insurance instead of looking for a driver with condition 1, your weekly rental is already guaranteed by condition 3.
No experienced ehailing driver will apply for this, your conditions are ridiculous, except the desperate ones.

I had another reply in mind, but I didn't want to anger the advocate of e-hailing partners. He will bombard me with memes

You still have to follow that process

yes

casiello:
Abeg make una answer oo

Don't do offline with strangers at night

brogxy:
I feel for these driver partners, in a case where it is offline trip that has no record with uber/taxify. How do u secure yourself?

Your 2003 corolla is accepted in any colour, as for earnings, you'll have to start and see for yourself. since it's an extra means of income, take it as a hobby and see what you make after 1 week

SGR1:
Good day nairalanders, kindly help me out here I reside in Lagos and been thinking of an extra means of income hence the thought of Uber came into my mind....
How much can one make on Uber driving his own car?
* Pls does Uber acept Toyota corolla of say 2003?
*Can any car colour fly on Uber or are there specific car colours required?
Am particular about the average profit one can make driving Uber in Lagos .
Pls kindly reply as information will help me in proper decision making.

No vex, don't use any car with more than 1.8L engine, EOD uses 2.4L and it's not advisable

shams040:
Experienced ubar drivers on dis platform y are u so wicked.
me and 1 guy have been asking u questions as per d minimum requirements bt u do as if u dnt see our question. If we join that does not mean you wont make your money. I even asked if I can buy an honda e o d the guy said no and refer me to start reading from page 300. It unfair sha

baxton25:
Please my Toyota Corolla is misfiring,I went to my mechanic,he said it's plug,we changed the plug,the same thing,he he wanted to drive the car out of his workshop which is very Sandy,the car was jeering, he said it was fuel pump and filter we bought original of the two,after all he drove it and said my car is back to life,me after driving the car it was still the same thing,you know how you'd start a car and want to move fast,it would delay for some seconds,that's how the car is working,but I remembered I changed my air filter,3 days ago,my car stopped consuming fuel within that period,but as it started this it was consuming alot of fuel,am tired don't what to do again,and have spent 20k already.

Go have the car scanned and do proper diagnosis

Kazeems and trial & error

Gazzuzz mentioned how he started daily oil level/colour inspection. What I was expecting is Partners like yourself stating how you do your own periodic inspection of your cars, because I notice most partners just do a walk around, to ensure there's no scratch or dent.
Some partners don't even want to know about the less than 5k maintenance, that was done by the driver on their car"
If my driver wants to do a minor maintenance, I want to know he's doing the right thing, and not turn a deaf ear, because it's less than 5k, he should take care of it.
The initial post and my reply is not about weekly rental.
cc thebigkendo

dru23:
Well so far so good. Most of my cars have been running for past seven months now. If I can't get value for my car, I will either park some of them sell it and move on or ride it out, which everone comes first. Time will tell ... and regardless how you look at it . If you give out your car for even 20k a week. There is the possibility that the driver will still flog the car and trying to make double than the owner.
The bottom line is wheather you get value for your car or not . Drivers will still flog your car.. Wheather you give them rental for 15k a week they will still complain and tell you business is slow. That is the reality of the business, when business was good they still complain. It's a tough business bro...

You still don't get it, go back and the first post I responded to.

thebigkendo:
I can make sure my car is bn taken care of & still collect "good" rental win win..
okay what if I collect "bad" rental and car is still not bn taken care of? Driver go park your knocked engine & look for another car to drive

My point is, you should have a balance, while trying to recoup your investment, make sure the car is being taken care of

thebigkendo:
The Engine knock would have still happen irrespective of Rental valve but in this case he would have gotten #40000 x 4 weeks x 6months = #960,000 as against #35,000 x 4 weeks x 6 months = #840,000 or less.
Engine knocking is a function of engine health and maintenance not rental value.

and what happens when you get good rental value for 6 months and your engine knocks, there has to be a balance

dru23:
This is the basic stuff am saying. How many drivers will do oil check in the morning? It is not their car, why should they care. This is one of the reason I always tell partners make sure you get good rental value or maximum value for your car. Hopefully drivers can do the basic that you are doing rite now ... keep up the good work

Mlud:
2 very clean and durable Cars available immediately for Taxi Hailing business - Uber/ Taxify.

Both 2007 Mitsubishi Lancer Automatic 1.6. Sport.

Strong Reliable Japanese Cars. Parts available everywhere.

THE CARS.
Boot spoiler and body kit, RDS Stereo, Cold Aircon Remote central locking ABS Alloy wheels with good tyres, Spare tyre well serviced and easy to maintain. Parts easily available.

One car in Silver with BLACK leather seats and Formica dashboard, the other Metallic GREY car with with clean dark grey colour cloth seats and two-tone grey dashboard.

These cars look very smart and riders like them because they are very comfortable spacious and look like private cars.

Mitsubishi Lancer cars are very strong durable and last many years which is why they are used for motor racing in the desert dunes and as rally cars.

The Lancer is fast with simple and modern technology and wins many races. Parts are always available.

I already have another Lancer running on Uber without any problems.

Both of these Lancer cars are foreign used Tokunbo Cars and not yet used in Nigeria.

Just registered. Very economical on Petrol.

THE DRIVER.
Drivers needed on Hire Purchase only. Not interested in rental.

Drivers must pass reference checks bring 2 Guarantors and be honest and reliable. Must have Uber experience with good records.

Please call Julius on 08128855680 to discuss terms and view the cars.

Cars located in Ikorodu for viewing.

My point is Sunday is one of the best days to make money, I can give you 2 hours on a Wednesday, but I can't give you 30mins on Sunday

EmpireGroup:
We already tested Monday to Saturday and Sunday was seen as best...

Just an hour of servicing... We have 10 auto technicians;
2 vulcanizers
3 rewires
5 mechanics

And requests are easily seen from our workshop after servicing.

That's what they said about Taxify march last year

Romeo3:
if it's not uber or taxify, you are wasting your time

Sunday is a wrong day for car servicing, it shows you don't understand the market

EmpireGroup:
Why give your precious cars to fleet managers who promise returns of 35-40k and the outcome of your car at the end of the month is so high to repair?

At empire global, your car delivery per week is 30k.
Installation of tracker per vehicle is 35k.
Car servicing at the end of each month = 10k with free car scanning and detailed report.
Driver pays for serious damages to the vehicle.
** Car servicing is done on Sundays only.

We won't lie about the number of cars we are managing presently, we have just 4 cars under our management and no driver has defaulted so far.

Also, we are trying to partner with a financial institution to help purchase specific vehicles for the e-hailing use at a rental friendly rate.

Should you be interested?

Numbers don't lie, you'll have to show those numbers to prove you can make that amount, not speculations as you've been stating since

Andalucia:
Hello!

Thanks for your input.

Could have made your point without the sarcasm though (writing skills? I don't understand what you're about).

Rental won't cut it. Each to his own please (might sound cocky but the numbers never lie...mostly and I've run them).

I will get a Principal and very soon too.

To every other well meaning commentator, I'm not towing the rental path so kindly stay your comments relative to that (and if you can avoid throwing shades and/or insults at my person or intent, I'll be much obliged. Like I keep reiterating, no one is being forced to give heed to my senseless proposal).

Regards.

NNPC Ogudu did this to me and several others last year

GAZZUZZ:
Driver complained about loss of power and misfire..........

Extensive checks..........

Contaminated fuel.(water in fuel)

Source of contamination.....

NNPC akowonjo.

vehicle downtime 6hrs.

Mind where you buy your fuel.

Driver doesn't make the biggest loss, he will dump your car and move unto the next one. We have seen drivers crashed and knocked their partner's engine, they are still driving today

timifakay:
Due to stress.
Either trying to meet up unrealistic remittance or
While trying to earn more than partner.
Sadly driver suffers the biggest loss.

You don't know him, and you're not obligated to believe him. I know you prefer to believe he is a poor driver, if that makes you sleep at night, fine.

jpworld:
And you want me to believe this fabu?

He owns a car, rent it out, then rent another car for himself. Why not just drive it yourself.

Western demons have started ooo.

I have always known you to be chronic Liar, I remember wen u told us, you held taxify staffs hold stage in meeting, you dragged it with them, until they succumb.

So how far with ur unionism level? Nurtw chairman in the making.

You people are just arguing about who should earn more, instead of car owners to determine how they want to recoup their investment (ROI) in a reasonable time. As long as your car is being used well and maintained properly, what you should be concerned about is getting your money back with plenty extra.
