Does this really work?Do drivers truly bare repair cost less then 5k?I see this as very wrong.All repairs one rental cars should be done by the owner.

CarShopper, Dru23 7 Gazzuzz please comment on this abeg. Thanks

GAZZUZZ:
Now to the final part of your analysis, there are things Called Preventive maintenance.

brake oil, waterpump, transmission oil, radiator coolant, axle oil, timing belts....

These are parts that should be replaced at certain intervals weather or not they seem defective.

You should read more sir.

iyaegin:
The way you talk about these bank loans like they are a walk in the park to access because you are a super performing Uber driver.Bros no be so...i don't think any Nigerian bank will give a loan to you to buy car on top say you be Uber driver otherwise name the bank make me self go collect cos i suppose fit dey eligible na.....

Bizzyliss:
E better make i buy toks than this unknown shock wey no get name

TheCar:
Please be polite.

This is a business relationship not personal.

If he decided to divest his investment some people would be back in the labour market looking for new car owners to rent their cars.

If your contribution can't be constructive, just read, laugh and move on.

What goes around comes around. You can never say where your path would cross in life and if you start burning brigdes now, what happens when your path eventually match.

You might be his future in-law ooooo

FOR NEW DRIVERS

If a partner asks for security deposit ( especially these ones shouting 35k ) and you have the money, don't just drop the cash yet. Go and do a thorough check on the car
Inspect the car between 12 noon and 3:30 pm when the sun is hot ( to verify if the ac works. If the ac has to be turned to No 3 or high before it cools, then be wary of that car). Also ensure all the vents are OK.

Ask the partner to service the car before you pick it ( if it isn't serviced yet)

Check the lights front and rear ( for dead ones and non functional ones)

Observe the sound of the engine ( if it revs too high for a normal car)

How neat is the interior?( the seats, dashboard etc)

Check the body and paint. ( dented bumpers, faded body paint, dents, Scratches)

Tyres

If your partner asks for weekly delivery of more than 35k, flee. I repeat, FLEE



Remember they will always say you are to bear the cost of minor repairs. If you ignore these tips, then you will understand that these repairs are not minor. Your church members will contribute to help you remit your weekly debt.
Riders will rate you and your eyes will open. From 5.0 to 4.6
Ask the partner to state clearly in the agreement form what will happen to your security deposit at the expiry of the contract.


If you are satisfied that these are sorted out, you can then drop your hard earned security deposit.

Am Ibrahim by name I need a car on uber and taxify platform here is my contact 08070031879

GAZZUZZ:
There has, and [b]will always be a market for helpless un-informed individuals that can be preyed on with [/b]ease. If that is your calling, by all means kwantinue.....

TheCar:
A lot of factors could be responsible for this.

1. People are now enlightened.

2. Car Owners with good drivers are holding and treating them better like partners instead of master - slave.

3. Lot of drivers now couldn't pass car owners simple test. E.G. The mobile number of your previous partners, why did you leave etc.

4. Security Deposit - A driver paying security deposit takes the job and the business relationship more serious because something is now at stake.

5. Fasting Period - I understand business is a bit dull due to ongoing ramanda.

6. Verifiable Guarantors are getting scared. Car owners now understand the importance and essence of Guarantors.

7. This thread is not only the Uber/Taxify community on Nairaland and .

8. Drivers are getting educated about the importance of vehicle inspection before paying security deposit.

9. Migration - Some drivers have move to the other side of the business chain. They now drive their own cars.

10. School are in session and people awaiting NYSC callup letters are lean at the moment.

11. Car Owners are now taking driver recruitment more seriously.

12. Abi cost of car acquisition don reduce.

Anyway, I like the new direction. Hopefully we will have less Kazeems as Car Owners and less of Henry (Gazzuzz's guy) or Bayo (HP guy that dump car) as drivers on the platform.

Cheers.

Chuwaa:
There are so many cars for sale in Abuja and Lagosians are trooping to buy and bring to the platform.
Abuja has excellent roads compared to Lagosians, but I noticed those guys will never go to mechanix unless something major. You all know how you take your cars for one repair and end up doing 5 repairs. That one no be for Abuja peeps. You'll see clean rides, probably tinted, but if you hear suspension noises you'll run. Their mileages are equally very high.

Drivers be careful.

I was in church one day when they were discussing uber business and I just laughed. People are buying all manner of craps looking for drivers to dump on. Their usual shock is when they hear "make 150k per week" for their mind, they'll assume at least 75k for them. After buying the car and 30-35k hits them plus repairs, many just give up and blame drivers.
This business sha, advise your neighbours, to avoid stories that touch the heart. Many are using susu money to buy craps.

Who has noticed,
Of recent, no partner-driver is looking for car.

All I see is requests from car-owners.

What's responsible for this pls

GAZZUZZ:
The market is regulating it's self.

bad drivers Have run out of guarantors, no one wants to sign anything on their behalf, Car owners are smarter, Drivers are identifying dead cars easily, some Bad drivers, have started repenting Fresh Cars coming in, old cars being sold on NL, jiji, checki and on the road side New investors coming in every day, the rains will hit hard and some cars will frustrate their owners, drivers will start looking for other cars. it's a cycle.

A new driver that doesn't know Jack about cars, what does he know he's testing apart from just moving the car around. Owners should just try and be sincere about the condition of their cars
