It's a thin line between default and security deposit activation...

Where does one draw the line? When do u activate the security deposit clause?

Payout week is Monday - Tuesday, this week Uber paid out Wednesday - so when is default period?
Well like said or preached.. Assurance deposit will not solve all the problems.. It will reduced it, once the driver is owning you stop him from driving the car or take the car away asap ..and activate the deposit clause.. The rest of the money he owns you, u can try and battle it with his guarantor... my case for am example, a driver was owning me 10k for one week, and he said he will balance the following week ...you know what he did ,the following week came and he drop the car for a minor repair.. And he switch is phone off and he never pay the week rent of 30k.. If I had collected the car from him when he owned me 10k and activated the deposit clause my case wil be different.. Now I have to chase him for 40k now, which I might not get... so I might end up taking an "L" for dis one .. Like I said half bread is better than none..

One thing you have to keep in mind.. By the time every partner is collecting deposit, the driver will eventually get tired of jumping from one partner to another.. Because he is aware that he will have to drop another deposit that might higher than previous deposit.. The trick here is to form a collective efford in which a deposit is a must for all car owners .. Now in Yankee before uber took over the cab business.. A cab driver will have to pay one weeks rent before he even takes the cab.. To rent a car in the states now ,u still have to put down a deposit, the car rental will need to hold your credit card on hold of a certain amount ..once you return the rental they take off the hold on ur card.. Assuming that you return the car in good order.. Now this is a standard practice within the rental industry.. So it will hard for people to mess up.. Same for the hotel industry... so if the partners on uber can collectively have the same standard, it will reduce not eliminate payment issues .. Similar to the banking industry ,if you own one bank money , it will be hard for you to open another bank account .. It will show in their system that u are owning xyz bank money.. These industries work collectively together to protect themselves.. But for naija only time will tell and that is why you don't see generation wealth been pass on.. There is no discipline

We go reach there soon.

That’s the way forward. Pay your rent ahead before you collect car.

You don’t need to pay Security Deposit, just pay your weekly rental ahead.

Problem Solved.

No Stories or Default.
Na small small ...but I agree for sure ..this is the way business is done in the western world.. It will take time we go get there

That’s why I said learning Na continuous project.

Once a challenge has been identified, solution should be provided.

Now that we know about it, that Carshopper strategy go work with some little adjustments here and there.

This business doesn’t have a one fit it all solution likewise all businesses that involves human management.

We are all different, Na only Dru23, Carshopper, Gazzuzz and other car owners managing fleet of cars on the platform go understand that you can never have a one fit them all solution for this business.

The challenge Driver A gives you will differ from Driver B challenges.

Security Deposit might work for Driver A but fails with Driver B.

So learning Na continuous project Sir.
I also stated that assurance deposit will not solve all the problems, but it will help reduce it.. Like me for example drivers own me rite now at least 40k now , I don't want to give exact amount, shame won't let me know ..so if I had an assurance deposit, my lost will have reduce to some extend.. Like the saying goes .. Half bread is better than none... hope people learn o .. A word is enough for the wise ....

Most guys here only want to condemn to sell their oil.Just kuku ma tell all Nigerians to buy imported oil from US N UK.

N.B New car owners buy imported oil ooooo
Toks or Nigerian used car buy local oil.
As matter of fact self... no need to use oil for ur engine.. Just drive the motor self or better yet just ignore the manufactures advice and use the opposite of their reccomdation especially if you just bought new range rover 2018 model for 50m ..don't mind the car manufacturers jor.. Most of them just want people spend uncessary money

This is a general announcement to all potential investors in the uber/ taxify forum.. I hope you people are reading the lessons these forum has to offer.. I hope that you are paying attention to others people mistake .. A friend of mine just buzz me up just now.. A total of two of his drivers are now owning him close 50k.. Collect your assurance deposit.. If a uber driver does not want to put down is assurance deposit, please let him go o,dont let any drivers use you and dump you.. Read and read, if u can't get assurance deposit, it is better for the car to sit till you find a good driver. Also before you give your car to any fleet coy or management team.. Do your research very well , if you don't know what to do .. Ask people on the forum, we have a few reputable fleet coy... don't fall victim to any uber drivers ..learn from others

I'm just about to hit the roads (for some fun) for the next 3 hours. My hot corolla is just leaving vulcanizer's shop. Bought two tokunbo tyres today, did tyre rotation (I do it every 5000 miles). Will check out how the car handles, then do alignment and balancing tomorrow.

Mechanic will take a good diagnostic look at the car next week Tuesday;
Panel beater and painter have also been notified, come next Tuesday, they will take care of all scratches on the bumpers and fenders; after that, then off to the car wash for a thorough fabric wash and then general wash.

Baby will be as good as new again.
Those of us that know, know. Assurance is overrated!
Half bread is better than none.... Once a driver thats owning to the amount of his assurance.. Its better to collect the car from him than continuing driving the car into more debt...this is why I said on one of my post .. We need to find a way to incorporate western businesss into our own .... I also said that it might not solve all the problems. But it will help to eliminate other problems or reduce.. Or better yet I guess guarantor is overrated too ...

for almost every vehicle the front and rear suspension parts keep the car balanced on the road. When you have major imbalance when hitting a curve, you should check your lateral arms (rear) struts (rear) lower control arms (front) ball joints (front)

If you do not understand the terms, Google is your friend.
