How



Dear poster, if you aim to have offline trips, a Lexus IS better. And even more if it’s RX ... offline trips sha. But for day to day Uber, I’m not sure ES can , If fuel is ok, what about maintenance?

Big daddy doesn't look bad for offline trips as well, moreover good drivers attract more offline trips than good cars. And since the business is more of online trips then he should go for a more durable car that can withstand all the ehailing abuses and floggings

peeps4u:
Bro, 67k+ in a day is a something. How much would he have spent on fuel?

In a week, not a day

seniors ,pls who has used hauwei Y6 prime before on uber. Weda it has issues, its not on their list of banned devices.

I've not used it and don't know anyone who has/is

ajoks533:
Thank you boss....
I am asking these questions because I don't want to regret tomorrow as this is me trying to bounce back to life and don't want mistakes. That's why am patiently analysing every option I have and also drawing wisdom from una wey be bosses in the business.

I will agree with that good man that advised you to buy big daddy instead of Lexus. My reason: I've seen many big daddies on the platform but I hardly see E330, there must be a reason for that
P.S. I drive a big daddy myself and I'm enjoying it. Just don't buy an abused car and you'll be okay

Dbossmanager:
My Samsung is dual sim....wrong info......

They specifically told me in their office that no dual SIM phone is allowed, that doesn't mean it won't work on their platform, but there'll likely be issues with fares

Asked me if I'm from Warri told them no but I've lived there 7 years before now.

How much una dey make wey kidnappers wan reason una? That na low budget kidnappers

Well I've heard of a place where they kidnap random people for as low as 50k.

Seun360:
Baba, i don dey this hustle for over a year but i never pick person for Airport before based on what i heard concerning those airport officials that clamp vehicles.

Abeg, educate me on how to go about picking up trips at the airport.

Thanks.

Bro go and pick your pick, no shaking. Just don't overstay your stay, and shadow your shadow well in case of unusual usuals

ndubuis:
Is it really a good idea to display ones earnings in public like this? There's a bit of security risk and danger associated to this, if you ask me. It leaves other drivers prone to attack by thieves, police and other security agents. A novice in this game may clap for this without knowing what the real deal is. Na Naija we still dey oo! Especilly for those that work at night.

If it is a state where kidnapping is business, with all these flashy dashboard displays, Uber drivers will be kidnapped every blessed day

gabng:
Little did many Nigerian know that every one that is of taxable age and has obtained either BVN or NIN has been allocated a Tax Identification Number (TIN) by the Nigerian government.

The tax identification number (TIN) is a unique identifier for an individual or a company for the specific purpose of tax remittance and it is issued by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS). As a business or individual, TIN is important because that is what shows that you are a registered taxpayer in Nigeria, and as you know that tax payment is made compulsory, every company, business, individual must have their own unique tax identification number.

Registered company/business will however need to Apply for TIN online separately. Follow the steps below to check your personal Tax Identification Number (TIN) with either BVN or NIN

- Visit https://tinverification.jtb.gov.ng/
- Select your Date of Birth.
- Select your preferred search criteria from the Select Criteria Dropdown-TIN or NIN or BVN or Registered Phone Number
- Provide the appropriate value based on the search criteria in Step 2 above
- Confirm you are not a robot by checking the reCAPTCHA Box
- Click the Search button

Oga please tell bossess Dem to fix our bad roads first with the taxes we've paid before they come to ask for another, till then I'm saving my taxes in my kolo to fix my compound

chucsmoore:
Lol. What's d experience like

Peeps can price your ride for almost free. Make sure you calculate the fare estimate of any trip before accepting, if you rush and accept you will be rushing into charity jobs. It's not advisable to use it in peak hours as even Google maps find it difficult to predict how long a trip will be. I've heard a story of someone who spent over 5 hours on a trip of 1,300 (fixed)

Hello all, please anyone with experience in driving on indriver platform?

Abeg where I go get number plates? The front plate of my car don follow erosion go


@Izzuo @Pope191@Deedee

This I have no idea of. First thing first, go and get a police report, you can then proceed to licensing office for further advice

mrjaydee:
I'm sorry for my tantrums in my last post. All I'm saying is forget we are graduates ( who graduate help) we are in this hustle. Please there are some errands you shouldnt do. Example is the buying condom, I have done deliveries ( food, clothes etc) but not to the extent a rider will call me to go and BUY CONDOM!!! Pls if you must accept the errand it's not a problem is between you and your reason for doing this hustle. To all the drivers out here keep pushing. God bless our hustle.

Whatever you like you buy as long as I'm getting paid accordingly I don't mind, I'm out to make money mehn.

Greatzeus:
Stop whining,you were charged according to Opay ride paying standard. Next time take Keke or Okada. It's not like they will notice if you didn't patronize them.
Goosh,is it poverty mentality or what? Nigerians are cheats,yet they complain about everything and everyone cheating them.
Glo credits finish quickly,Mtn data doesn't last,Airtel are thieves,DStv are scammers,bla bla bla.
STFU,go hustle so as not to complain about your 1.5gb subscription not lasting for a month,goosh

Nobody would be mad at you for not saying anything

mychelyte:
Let me tell you their secret! It's the riders that are extorting customers, this is what they do;
Once you order a ride,immediately he spoke with you on phone to ask of your location, he will immediately clicked that he had reached the pickup location and passenger picked,of which he may be far from you sef,so they will be calculating duration and distance from the moment he clicked passenger picked up, till he reach you then take you to your destination. They do that so that their own share of the money they charged you will be high..because they are already calculating your charges from the moment he said passenger picked up.

Anytime you order for a ride and the app notify you just immediately after the rider called you but he has not gotten to where you are,call the customer care/service and ask them to cancel the order for you! Then you can place another order.

That's what they do.

You're wrong

[quote author=Eldemmi post=82799522][/quote]Oh you're right, I think I know that dugbe own

topsydee007:
It's not a big deal. Rely on your map to start with and then u will get familiar with the roads.

U will experience less issue with police and all. There are lesser one way in Abuja ..roads are good and wide. Streets are named. Don't be sacred. Nobody will disturb u wherever u park while waiting for request

Note: ..don't break traffic rule
Don't pick rider from normal bus stop. If the pick up location is major bus stop, tell the rider to walk foward to avoid agbero people.

I drive in Abuja.

You're comparing Abuja with Lagos or Abuja with Ibadan? I've not seen one way in ibadan before

muyiwaadekunle1:
Some drivers are high fliers on this hustle . #649k September earnings. Wow!

I know him

northbird:
nothing spectacular about the increase, the real increase is around 3.5% of ur earnings after deductions.

So for every #1,000 , you get around #30-35 on top

There's no real increase, they just gave a soft landing to our fallen earnings. Net income has slightly reduced

tojahh:
Therefore, we are happy to be able to keep our promise to ensure we always offer you the best earnings in the city with a 10% Price Increase and a 5% Commissions increased starting tomorrow.


Along with the change in the Fare Price and Commissions,

The Bolt and Lite category will be collapsed into one, maintaining the name “Lite” but with the new price.


Who else received this from Bolt today? Starting tomorrow.... 20% will take charge.

Everybody of course

stanuplane:
spent an hour plus on my way back. Will never make that mistake again.

Yes that's the official normal time to spend for that distance

Seniors,
So I just took bus transport from ikeja to the airport to see things myself.

I got there, i saw the dreaded towing van guys trying to throw an iron rod into the car wheels of a chap, n d towing van racing towards him. I didn't wait to see d end.

I met another set challenging a man parked where the airport taxis are, dey almost towed him. Reason: only registered airport taxis are allowed to park where he parked.

I approached one of them n told him I was going to start uber n how does d airport thing work.

He told me uber n taxify are banned from working in the airport bla bla bla n dey are d only ones authorised to do biz carry riders n that anyone DT picks a rider will b towed

I took whatever he said with a pinch of salt.

So seniors,
How do you drop a rider @ d airport without infringement of rules or play to the towing guys hand.

Are you to drop the rider in the car park or what?

Basically, I need a walk- through of the process like the Dos n Don't @ d airport.

Thanks.

Cc: izzou, DeeDee, xana, pope, iyaegin, jaydee, xghost, slamstanlee, chucsmoore, moonlight ...

At the airport, no one will tow you for dropping a rider at departure, just make sure you don't exceed the allowed time (3 mins). You'll also make all your mirrors your best friends, any suspicious movement by someone holding a clamp zoom off with rider lol

For pick ups, to be 100% safe you'll have to wait for rider at the car park. Most riders will beg you to drive out it's up to you if you wanna take the risk. Those airport guys too can request you and set you up so your alankan will have to fi oju so ori (you'll have to always stay alert, if your instincts tell you to move don't ask why. Good luck

northbird:
bro. Thanks.
So you mean, if I'm closer to rider n d rider picks 'lite' I will still get d rider regardless of my being categorized under 'bolt'

Nope. Unless you're on both lite and bolt
I don't know if it has changed sha

northbird:
Seniors, during the taxify training, at d end of the presentation, dey showed two columns of car models.
Lite - 2002-2004
Bolt- 2005 upwards.

Someone mentioned DT riders go for lite by default. N DT dose on bolt don't get riders like d guys under lite. N d car I registered with is 2006 corrolla.

Pls. Do I need to worry about getting requests? or requests will com regardless of the category?

Thanks.

If it hasn't changed, to the best of my knowledge, 05 Corolla upwards fall into both category (lite and bolt) so you don't have to worry about which category gets more requests

stanuplane:
I just found myself in ibafo this Sunday morning. Pls guys, can I get a trip here or should I just find my way?

Find your way ASAP before that evil traffic builds. It can end your day outside Lagos

GAZZUZZ:
That one good sef, me I learned by watching pops, then stole the car when he was not around. Had no teacher, manual gear fa.

Same thing my brother did with our dad's beetle. Despite all the parking track markings

izzou:
As a driver, I feel for Mr Ghost that had that accident. I know what it feels like to be blamed for something that actually "wasn't supposed to be your fault". Also considering the damage on the car, it's painful. I really feel for him

But put yourself in the rider's shoes. Accidents happen, but that wasn't her bargain. She wanted safety too, that's why she ordered for Uber/Bolt.
Will "sorry" replace a missing tooth? What if it was a child that it happened to?

King.reign may have passed his message without compassion, but the truth is, "it is what it is". The driver was supposed to safely get the rider to the destination. The driver is to be blamed. If it was my loved one that was involved, I would most likely not be this "understanding" as I am now

Let's drive safely. Lobatan

It should also serve as a lesson to those riders that always shout oga run na without knowing the competency of the driver. In a country where many drivers learn from learners on a football pitch for few days and get drivers license.
