Thanks for your response.

I want to tap experience from anyone with recent experience. So that I won't have to go twice.

It's risky relating with Naija public offices based on online info...

The online portal's info is correct, register online and print out your confirmation page. Go to the office you select when filling the online form and hold 4k. You made not spend up to that but just hold it.
P. S. If you're renewing you can bypass biometrics

Are you trying to say my face is a horror movie

Hahahahaha nooooo o. Lol very funny man.
Remain small make pepper enter my head sha

Felicity0001:
You didn't talk aboutbthe fastest finger features with indriver. To me that's the major setback with them.

How will a particular request come into 4 different drivers at the same time and tje person that picks first have it. How would you then offer your own price when the other driver doesnt even care but accept the rider's price.

So I shouldn't take my eyes off my phone because I need to get a trip? Rubish!!

No it's not who picks first that gets the trip, it's who the rider selects. Every driver that accepts will pop up on rider's app and rider will select his/her choice based on price, ETA, rating and sometimes your profile pic. A horror looking driver will hardly get picked lol

radautoworks:
Yes, that's why it's either/or

Okay

radautoworks:
yes. 6 months or 5k miles whichever comes first

When the manufacturers calculated this, did they put Lagos unique traffic into consideration?
Normally if you cover 5k miles in x hrs, you cover the same 5k miles on uber in (most times) over 2x hrs.

Godfather10:
Nothing ventured nothing gained it its a tie up withUBER though it will be a win win for all parties with UBER sending their best customers to riders using these cars

I don't think so

eyinola:
I been wan ask how una take they chop for this work sef

If a trip takes me close to any of my favorite canteens when my stomach refill light is on. I go offline and refill. I like food

eyinola:
ok bòss

It's normal for your rpm to go above 1000 if you just start your car when the engine is already cold. Don't go and fix it if it ain't broke

xana101:
End trip on Bolt. N550. Rider didn’t have N50 me too don’t have N50. So I had to let go of N50 . Why on earth will bolt start adding N50 to fair. This guys just seat in the office and bring up stupid policies. While not leave it at N500 or N600.

You can do it yourself, you just did

To the person who was wondering if the angels were doing laundry

Thank you plenty plenty

pope191:
Lol, d cross tour is Honda, my own is Under

Lmmmaaaoooooooo
Lemme guess... Under (dru) 23

Maax23:
Actually referring to higher purchase drivers.

Okay. But I don't think they plan to give them out on hire purchase.. For now, it may be the last option for them to try and recoup their capital when reality sets in

Are angels doing laundry today? This one it's raining foamy water around Anthony Maryland and mobolaji bank Anthony

Maax23:
This is ain't a sweet deal bro. N6,000,000 million car is not suitable for this business. Paying up will be really difficult. I call it a self induced slavery. Regardless of the cheap fares, there are so many uncertainties sorrunding this business. In this case only the wise excel.

It's the sweetest deal for drivers on rentals. Moove will soon move out of the market with this unwise business idea of using brand new cars for uber. Drivers will cash out and abandon the cars when they finally succumb to evil roads and demonic floods

Chuwaa:
Just remove the head of the battery daily and it will mess up their records, while you combine with Bolt. Or find a way to locate the transponder and disable wisely.

I forsee plenty debts cos of cash trips. But the POS will be in their account?

But why
Not fair

mrjaydee:
Funny thing happened yesterday, didn't go to work so I on my huber app.. Got a request in Ilupeju going to gbagada. I picked up the rider and I decided to follow one way (just abt 50meters) to link up the Express. I knew what I was doing thr other route linking the Express was badly flooded and damaged.

Next thing police jump out from nowhere make I park. Na so I park, Olopa sharply enter my car.

Police: your offence is 50k..blah blah blah
Me: Oga calm down, the other road is bad that's why i took this route.

Police: Drive go station... Taskforce go impound your car.
Me: oga which way be your station
Rider: please oga police I'm late, let me give you 2k for the troubles.
Police: after initial gra gra collected the 2k and came down.

Me: madam rider thanks jare don't mind this police people. She just smiled.

Na so, I drop rider for her house, next thing I hear phone ringing under the front passenger seat.

Na olopa phone, one old Nokia phone, na so I take get small phone..

Tell him you're in awoyaya, he should come and collect it or order uber 7k. Let him taste from their own medicine, they don't do things for free too

eyinola:
So i was arrested by a lastma today at ikeja under bridge inward GRA for slightly beating the traffic light, one mind said i should climb the iron another said don't spoil ur tyre oga jump into the car , my rider pleaded on my behalf he no gree, he ask me to keep driving slowly towards a street beside high court , he said my offence is 65K but if he want to help me he will collect 20% of the 65k . I told him i can only give him 2K for recharge card so this time after initial gra gra and i stood my ground that i don't hv more than 2k, he later agreed and i was just like 2mins away to millennium estate this time he said i should go drop my rider and i drop him back as well, as i was abt to drive fast a Lexus jeep just cross me down, fear grip me say which kain wahala be dis , na so the man order all of us to come down from my car including my rider, he ask the lastma guy aggressively what my offence was and why he enter my car and directing me entering from street to street, this man ma police boss oooooooo.He said i shoud enter my car and go dat i should leave him and the lastma guy 2k sef he no seee collect ooooooo, e just be like film for my eye...lol

Where's that person that said ALL men in uniform are MAD
That's how one saved me too from RRS when I was still a newbie

davit:
From my experience, they are all MAD.

Maybe you keep meeting the mad ones. If you meet literate and commissioned officers you'll see the difference. I've had an encounter with a colonel before, he hit my bumper from behind when both of us were trying to make a right turn from a double lane road into a single lane road.
My bumper just press go inside small and his own car get scratches too.
Next thing oga came down and changed it for me, later my rider got to know he was a colonel from their argument, the rider just came to whisper into my ears.. Na colonel o, mumu me, my friend's brother is a major so I no dey too fear soldiers. I told my rider colonel my foot, I'm calling my brother. I quickly called my friend, when my friend heard colonel he said o boy you go let this one slide o lol. I no know say colonel use 2 ranks senior major that time.
In short, in order to save face, I couldn't just walk away because I was hell bent on making him pay for the repair, I just brought out my phone and started recording and narrating how it happened in the video, as I said because we don't know where this case will get to, the colonel just said which case, next thing he just went inside his car and gave me 2k. My rider come ask me whether the money go reach, madam e no reach wetin, abeg make we dey go
High ranking officers don't want anything that their enemies at work will use against them, all these senior officers dey get caucus and plenty enemies within, that's why they're always staying away from trouble. If to say na boy boy soldier I for don chop slap too that day

eyinola:
Abeg how bolt go take get their commission from me , na so so cash trips i dey do oooo.lol

You go soon begin dey do so so card trips
That's how they collect their commission .

You can pay it into their account though

MedellinCartel:
Good evening my people,

I've been following this thread for some time and honestly, some stories I read here are just heartbreaking. It's a crazy country we find ourselves but ahead ahead is the only way, may our efforts not be in vain.

My responsibilities have increased in recent times and I honestly need another source of income besides my currrent shift job. In this vein, I've been considering joining uber or bolt as a driver. I realise I need the right mentorship and playbook if i am to succeed this business.Below is my profile and I would like your honest advice on how I may proceed.

I run a one day, one night and two off shift at work. I have a Camry 2007 in good condition. I am not so conversant with Lagos road but I am excellent in using Google maps hence I hardly run into issues locating places here in Lagos. I have a young family, hence, driving at night isn't a top option for me.

Ps: how do you guys safeguard yourselves amidst this Corona virus pandemic?

The car is yours so it's easy, you can use your off days at work to hustle with your car.

Put into use all that you have learnt here.

Just try as much as possible to avoid flood and bad roads.

Don't pick/drop riders on major roads

Avoid transfers and fake alerts

As for our safety? It's in God's hands

All the best

coker007:
To stop this case of fake alert or whatever is simple.

Simply go to your bank and request they only send you alert via email and not phone number since we usually have data most of the time and it's impossible to send a fake alert to your email.

I don't even use the number associated with my accounts to call rider so of they're going to send fake alert they'll send it to my second number. Instant busting lol

Godfather10:
I remember l booked a trip to Namdi Azikiwe Airport in Abuja, l think N3500, the driver started complaining abt the trip and even had the effrontery to ask me to pay a bit extra. I told him straight, you win some and lose some, you can’t expect to win all the time, then at the end of the trip I gave him a one star, if l was in London l would have reported him for fraud to get him blocked.
l do the job in the U.K. and you dare not make such a ridiculous demand, you will be be reported and blocked straight away, I’ve taken passengers on ridiculous journeys my self in the U.K., and made a big loss on my way back, it’s what it is. We can’t win all the time, at the back of my mind l always have it that there is always tomorrow.’ and by the way l rent the car l use cos l only work in London for 2months every 3months.
The drivers request is ridiculous, despicable and his dispire is absolutely silly.

Someone asked this question and you didn't respond. Is it okay if a driver decides to drop a rider on third mainland bridge at midnight because he doesn't feel like going on with the journey? Since you find it okay for a rider to abandon a trip he booked knowing how his area is and left the driver to suffer a massive loss. Some riders know there would be serious traffic and they will book a ride with the intention of cutting the cost of picking a bike from where they are.

Eizenburg:
From the zigzag pattern, it’s clear he used an app that takes over the GPS. Booked the trip for a friend, if I were the rider, I’ll just pay him the estimate and be on my way.

It may not be intentional, sometimes phone GPS can act up on its own, especially all these 2 SIM chinko phones.
Just wanna let you know so you won't write a career-ending report about the driver

InfinityEstates:
Boss, you get Lasdri?

No sir

eyinola:
I don learn , thank God

Too much of that too will get you blocked. Just learn to avoid any of the options that is getting to danger zone

Greetings to the house; where is the best place to get a valid driver's license in Lagos and how much is the estimated billing? Thanks for your response

https://nigeriadriverslicence.frsc.gov.ng
You'll still pay in their office, less than 5k though

pope191:
Lol, its not what u think ooo... My transfer limit is not above 10k.


Please I just drop of a rider on uber and I'm supposed to balance him 300, he just alight and ask me to put the money in his account. How do I do this? Anyone with how to go about this pls.

Explain to uber and ask them to refund rider N300

stacyadams:
