The market is big enough now. Not everybody knowns about Uber. Uber has a target market. Uber is meant for people that can afford it. It's a form of transport luxury. I don't really see Uber to be less lucrative anytime soon.
Do you known the amount of money lagos state government spend on transport today. What happen to all buses five years ago. The problem we have is that we don't have good maintance culture . It's is reason why does transportation structure never fully developed in order to ease transportation in lagos.
A common railroad that was supposed to ease the moving of goods and services. What happened to it now, wasted money and resources. And the lagos state wants to ease transport in lagos when ordinary train services can't not be easily implement ed .

Uber right now is the cheapest and convenient form of taxi, way cheaper than yellow and black taxis.

2hrs 30mins alone on Uber is 150minXN11=N1650. after 25% your get N1237.50 on time taken alone. so your N1300 is a lie

Sir, the reason for posting is to ask for recommendations not for you to be doing FBI. With a 2007 Camry Muscle, how much would you have used on fueling?

Hello guys,

I am a newbie on this uber business, I find the rates very bad, like Victoria Island to Ejigbo for N1,300 after being in traffic for like 45 minutes with the Air conditioning on throughout the journey on top of that uber takes like NGN300 from the trip, don't forget you have spent like 2hrs 30 minutes for this ride.
How are you guys able to make money? Trips from Ikeja to Ojodu Berger is NGN600 and uber still takes like NGN200.
I am not understanding this business, can someone break it down for me?

Arizona1:
Hello guys, anybody using this type of Camry on Uber? Please share your experience with both riders and car's performance.
Thanks guys...

The profit margin is slim as a trip from mainland to lekki is around NGN1,500 and Uber would take NGN300 on commission, looking at the cost of fueling, your profit would be low. It is still a good car tho.

We can construct in Lagos and transport to Ibadan for you.

DONT GO NEAR HYBRIDS FOR UBER AND TAXIFY... THE MONEY U SAVED ON FUEL WONT BE ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN THAT CAR...DO U KNOW HOW MUCH HYBRID BATTERIES COST? ABOUT 700K...DONT EVEN TRY IT
OUR CARS DO 2000KM TO 2500KM WEEKLY

A lot of the hybrids are being used for taxi overseas, how is Nigeria any different except bad roads and availability of parts?

debeo:
That's Toyota Prius, I guess?

It's too low

Same reason why Camry especially newer models is usually discouraged

Your observation is very accurate. Can I have the car raised by a professional mechanic here in Lagos?

Hello guys,

I have been following this thread. I am interested in putting a hybrid car on Uber. Does anyone have any experience with this. I would be very glad if the person can share.

This cars are good on fuel economy.

From my calculations for every 34km the camry would use 1 liter of petrol more than the corolla. That is not too bad although it would be significant if the number of miles is more.

Camry mpg

2009 Corolla mpg

bravolad:
If your reason for purchase is to be used on Uber, Corolla is your best bet. The two cars are miles apart in terms of fuel consumption. The Camry is a 2.4l 2az-fe while the Corolla starts with 1.6l to 2.0l engine. On Uber, Corolla has a better fuel economy. The difference in fuel consumption of both cars could be as high as ₦10,000 to ₦15,000 weekly.

Also, the Corolla is lighter and compact. If buying for family use, then Camry is the choice.

Many thanks @bravolad the corolla is the winner in this case. thanks for chipping in your opinion.

billy187:
For an Uber cab I'd go for the Corolla as it's a bit more fuel efficient than the Camry.

Less trips to the fuel station means more of that sweet, sweet cash money to spend on stuff like your girlfriend's/wife's/random ladies Brazilian hair or MMM

Many thanks @billy187, from my understanding the 2009 camry is just as fuel efficient and the difference is not much. Can this be confirmed?

Hello house,

I am in a dilemma of picking a 2009 Toyota Camry or 2009 Toyota Corolla, both cars cost approximately the same. Which is a better pick as |I would like to use it for uber.

Kindly state reasons for picking the car you pick so I can make an informed decision. Looking forward to reading from ya'all.

Thank you Lord!!!
