If even after fuel price increase and drivers are still able to meet up due to increase in demand, there should be no reduction in delivery price.

I will say it again, drivers greed is what is shying more investors away, drivers dare not approach bank, but ready to rubbish owners, for owning just 2cars and trying his best to protect his interest.

Ogunvic41 jump into defending drivers, when they cheat, and he justify their actions.

Romeo3 drove into pool of water and wreck the Honda accord giving to him, the next thing he dump the vehicle.

This are people with questionable characters, how will you trust ur investment to this type of people.

I know that 40 vehicles in their fleets is all exaggeration, they are putting up figures to manipulate more owners.

I understand bruv, I had to digress a bit to portray my points.
The truth is, you can't go wrong in transportation/e-hailing biz regardless of fuel hike.
Should there be an increase in fuel price, e-hailing companies will also follow suit by increasing the fares.

If point A to point B is 1,000, increment in fuel price will alter it and you know whatever goes up in Nigeria hardly comes down.

So I am very sure e-hailing companies will do same and if they don't, it will affect the drivers and if it affects the drivers then it will affect them Cus no one will wanna run at a loss.
Noted ...

Drivers aren't meant to repair cars...
Partners put blames on driver for damages not caused by them, our roads are bad, partners buy a lot of FAKE PARTS THAT WONT LAST and blame drivers for damaging the car...
BRT drivers don't fix the buses...
GIG driver don't fix the buses...
Bank drivers don't repair the cars...
Personal drivers don't fix cars...
Y SHOULD A DRIVER SERVICE UR CAR?
MY OPINION...
LETS KEEP LAGOS MOVING...
This people u mentioned Base their structure on a fixed salary .. Do u know that money is deducted for damages that could be avoided for this occupation u mentioned?


Also note the discussion is should it be a joint culture

Max repairs a driver should undertake is #5,000. Anything more is horrendous...

If u want repair responsibility shifted to driver, shift from rental to hp.
Easy peezy.
The driver is more responsible for the vehicle given all measures is in place eg insurance, perfect vehicle (as @Romeo said) and others

If the driver gets robbed while driving your car (phones, money, injuries), will u compensate huh Since its a partnership grin
Remember some insurance compensate for that or should we tell the drivers to have an insurance policy that covers driving? Also note some partners do compensate for such...

Also u can not get it all... in event of vehicle damage does the driver pay too? So something cancels out in the partnership

I guess not, Diversification is what matters. The only constant thing in life is change, change is bound to occur and with the rate at which things are advancing, then I would say one should stay inclined and be updated on things happening.
Life has gone beyond doing what you have passion for, what you have passion for might yield only but a few naira and what you don't have passion for could be generating millions. The key word is "diversify" regardless of "passion".
Just like what Ogunvic is doing right now, driving is his passion and as such co founded a fleet company. Driving may not be Mr B's passion but Mr B could diversify by buying some cars and giving it to Ogunvic to manage and as such it is a win win situation for both parties should they reach an agreement.
Agreed ... but the discussion is on the effects of hike in fuel pricing and what will be its results on e-hailing..... Be that u are a fleet manager, partner or any

Peugeot e10 - 90k
Peugeot e7 - less than 80k.

Driver is fueling don't forget that.

a perfect car won't need anything other than servicing for atleast 4 months. I can vouch for lions. their suspension will last over 6 months.

You cannot own and drive. It's a partnership in the sense that you own the car, he drives.
A partnership is something mutually beneficial. So both parties should mutually contribute.

A perfect car true will run 3-6months (tried and tested with a kia product) without giving major issues but a lot depends on driving style.

In Nigeria, I doubt there is something worth 5naira right now, 5 naira is Gone and if fuel price increases, soon 10naira will follow suit.
Yes, app companies will follow the trend Cus thy wouldn't wanna run at a loss too.
If everything goes up ... means we will go back to old era when bizness was good?

I am telling you from a drivers perspective. Base fares may never go up. but surges will increase. Surges are a way of uber compensating drivers for extra cost of fuel. They don't want to lose out as well. When it happens, you will be in the know.

Let me teach you a trick: Go and register on uber as a driver and also on taxify. I am not asking you to drive. No. You are doing this just to have access to the uber and taxify app. You will be able to see anytime there is a surge because you are registered. No driver will dribble you. If dem no gree, collect car. cool
I drive on both wink.. Am not talking on Base fare ... am talking in view on rental or HP payments

Yes. You you should maintain your car. In the end, it's your car and he is just a driver. Preventive maintenance works best. If you give a driver a perfect car with zero issue, he has no excuse to tell stories. If a driver with a perfect car tells you stories that isn't related to his health, collect you car sharp sharp.

You will spend less on maintenance if you carry them out yourself. Driver will be happy, you will be happy, car will be happy.

Avoid cars with expensive parts. Carrying out maintenance on a car with less expensive parts is easier. It's why Peugeots are the best for this stuff. Brand new parts are cheaper than their contemporaries, and they last longer.

Make your research and find out the truth.

A 1.7 liter peugeot engine is less than 80k. lipsrsealed Who wouldn't want such?

how much is corolla engine?
how much is camry engine?
how much is elantra engine?
how much is Kia Rio engine?

research... cool
Peugeot engine 90k
Corolla 250k+
Elantra 280 - 650
Rio 120-150k


No the partner shouldn't be totally responsible for a vehicle that he doesn't even drive but gives in trust in partnership with another.

You said it yourself .. Its a PARTNERSHIP .. So both parties should b accountable to what gives both parties profit

Thet wont. They will introduce frequent surge. Any opportunity they get, an area will surge. To the psychological mind of the average rider, base fare is same but the surge will kill them. It's tricky to increase base fares. Leaves a negative psychological effect on riders.
Frequent surge has been the order of the day due to competitive nature of app companies available and this surge doesn't necessary increase or decrease rental fee.. A hike in fuel pricing will have a direct effect because the final rental figure is a calculation of the most important factors 1. Fuel and 2. Income to drivers .

Why do I say this... drivers tend to assume that they are the driving force within the E-hailing bizness, and they will always negotiate lower when other factors increase.

Its very simple. Fuel Is a major determinant in our economy right now. An increase in fuel price automatically increases everything and no sector will be left behind.
Fuel price increases, cost of transportation increases, cost of transportation increases then prices of food stuff increases Too, when FOOD increases, you need more money to put food on the table and as such increase your weekly rental. Everything right now depends on fuel. Until we find a substitute then we are in for a very long thing.
Thanks... but do you think app companies will increase Base fare in this bizness?
BusinessRe: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by Carshopper(m): 10:53am On Jan 06, 2018
Looking at maintenance and repairs, I tend to ask this question, Do I maintain and repair a vehicle that a Driver uses to make income for both parties? Or do we make a preventive maintenance schedule to be carried out within certain periods? What is the true picture when it comes to maintenance repairs inline with ROI?

I dey come, make I open fridge for a drink.

Giving out vehicles to drivers, one needs to be diligent and confirm all information given. Some requirements listed below can be helpful

1. Signed Agreement
2. Photo of Driver
3. Utility bill to confirm residential address
4. Physical inspection of residence
5. Signed guarantor form
6. Confirming with guarantor that he duly read and understands what he/she signed
7. Photo and ID of guarantor
8. Sometimes security deposit

The list is endless to suit your desired biz approach. When u start treating investments with great concern, some certain issues will reduce.

I hope this little write up of mind will be improved by another so that we are able to achieve a hitch free 2018 in this hustle

It's rumour that a hike in fuel prices is lurking behind closed doors. If this happens (145 to 185 per litre), what will be the effect on rental or HP weekly?

Just curious. Am bad at math. If a fleet company has over 40 cars and owners are guaranteed 50k weekly. How many employees do you think they have to run the company. And also how much money are they paying their fleet managers. Do you think they have enough hands to deliver quality service? Or do you feel that this is a matter of quantity over quality . Just asking .
On this thought line I beg to disagree ... it is really not about how many managers are employed that will deliver quality but really about the processes u put out to deliver quality.

A fleet manager tries as much to optimise delivery and reduce cost for repairs and maintenance inclusive of Drivers behaviour management. All this can be achieved with fleet management solutions that is readily available and sold by companies.

Fleet managers remains the point that holds together a transport business cus they can draw up SLA with auto work shops in line with vehicle manufacturer recommendation.

I hope with this few points of mine I am able to pass across a lil something... thanks

They don't drive, that's why they did a slash in fare price which burnt them seriously. To hit top notch again they had to engage driver partners in several sessions to come up with strategies.

Having been a driver previously will always be an added advantage...knowing about cars will alway be an added advantage. .. your drivers will not give u crap stories.
Nope u don't have to be a Driver to build strategy that push this industry. The several sessions is part of a strategy. Every business has a feedback process that helps them engage the consumers.

Price slash didn't burn any one ... its a competitive market and every one employs a calculated strategy. Uber reduction in fares was after a marketing research which showed and proved that income will remain the same (will find that link again).

What is fleet management in its true sense?

Driving before is an added advantage. You cannot dispute that fact.
Nope driving isn't an added advantage in terms of fleet management system, a good example within this bizness is the management of app companies we engage, they bring out measures to bring investors (US) to use their app but they don't drive to know what measures to use or bring out.

We have drivers and clients on this thread...have u heard any complains?? Even if the driver made 80k the partner still get 50k...
several back ups. Have been working on this project for over 3 years, driving on uber and taxify was an experiment... Most fleet managers never drove on the platforms... I drove, I own a car, I know the pains of a driver and car owner...
Am an automobile person, so what else...
Fleet managers don't have to drive on system ... they are more of solution providers and always build insight to fleet they manage. Will u say fleet managers for dangote trucks should have driven b4?
