Bros leave them na, they're changing the narrative, they will soon change their brain join. I don't understand how some people reason sometimes. So driver security deposit is not enough, they now want guarantor deposit. SMH. Whoever came up with this suggestion, needs to have his/her head examined.

And for the guy advocating for upfront rentals...continue. You will surely drive the car yourself. Nonsense!

You can always walk into any banking hall and ask for a loan. You can try it out. This business is not a do or die affair . If you can prepay your rent for the year, weekly assurance deposit should not be a problem.

Kudos Boss.

As Gazzuzz once suggested, maybe the next move would be collecting “Weekly Rental” ahead like they do in Benin (in Gazzuzz’s word).

Maybe one day, we will starting collecting weekly rental ahead like Landlords does every where in Nigeria.

House Rent is prepaid.

GSM Call Credit is prepaid.

PHCN Bill is prepaid (for people with Prepaid Meter).

BRT Transport fare is prepaid.

Internet Subscription is prepaid.

DSTV/GOTV is prepaid.

So agreed “Weekly Rental” can be PREPAID.

It is well with you.. And it will always be well with you.. PrePaid weekly deposit is a very fantastic idea ,especially if the car given is given out is in a fantastic shape. Trust me uber/ taxify drivers are secretly doing well. Some of them will just come to this thread and laugh . And continue doing their business until they are able to get their own car .

Common sense isn't common... how many guarantor will make down payment for another person.
To get a loan from bank sef. Equity fund won't be requested from the guarantor.

The house you rented. Im sure u have a guarantor to sign on your agreement with the landlord. Pls tell me. If he did contribute to the payment of your caution fee?

Legally. It's wrong for a guarantor to make any upfront payment in any business. Best u can ask for is asset declaration

Let us be honest with ourselves.. The "assurance" deposit is the common sense thing to do . This is a no brainer, a driver that is serious should be able to drop at least part of his assurance deposit . I don't fully agree that a guarantor should be involved in any shape of form of assurance deposit at all.. A drivers assursnce is enough. Lets us change the narrative people, but most uber/taxify partners will not listern.. That is why most are broke and in debt.. At the beginning of the thread, I said that maintenance costs will run people out of uber. And boy am I correct.. This is a tough business and also fleet company needs the assurance deposit more than anybody else. This is the best way to go. Cab business in Yankee sometimes ask for deposit, hotel will ask for deposit . We as business man and women, need to follow western business model and see how we can incorporate that into our own business.. If it works for them it should work for us too.

Oga you are a capitalist, I understand u, but getting loan from the Bank we know its not easy, but I got a loan of close to one million naira last year from the bank, but I haven't come across uber then, I invested all the monies on land m my building , I work with a good coy in Lagos, so if you have paid employment u can easily get a loan

Just because u borrow money from the bank, you can't expect a driver to driver u for u forever .you mees to make it a win win situation, its takes just two weeks for extremely rough driving to make your car go through wear n tear

When you start your company , u can run it how you feel

I don't need loan, my brother. Why not give out one of your cars to that family friend of yours to remit 40k to you instead of requesting for cheap rentals for him/her from another partner.

Pls no fall my hand naw.

Well in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different way and without fighting and by trying to make it clear and by considering each and every one's opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.

don't wait 3months, a bad driver will always be a bad driver, Inspect your vehicle every week. Tony almost killed my kia rio, he damaged a tyre every week, was always having yellow paint on the front bumpers and fenders, and finally he drove into a barrier in an estate when it was in the closed position.

Thank God for insurance, I have fixed my car, and Tony is in the labour market looking for the next car.

This is why we need at least half of their rental for #assurance # deposit. If I talk now ,they say I dey brag up and down. The driver will wonder why he is not progressing in life. Some will move forward and some will remain or jump from one partner to another like a prostitute.

Maybe Tony should just go to the nearest bank of his choice. And get a auto loan . He has experince driving and am sure he can always use you as a reference in his loan application

You want drivers to pay for Assurance like you said, you want drivers to pay 40k as rental. Buh you don’t want to hear about reduction of drivers rentals...... my friend take this flying kick there

Sir I do respect your point of view. And a flying kick will not solve the problem, it will only enhance the problem. Now for every problem there is always a solution. You can now walk into any banking hall and request for an auto loan. But just make sure you show proof of employment. Now being an uber driver is a form of a collateral for the bank. The bank will be more than happy to loan you money at the lowest rate possible. Just make sure you show them your past 6months earnings on either uber or taxify.. And you have your currant partner voch for you, not consign o as a good employee .. We need to start thinking outside the box .. I hope have been of help to you .if you like me to give you the list of banks that a uber friendly, please kindly send me your email to dru23@hotmail.com and I will gladly send u the list of the banks and their rate. I wish you success and best of luck. Don't be a stranger if need any additional assistance.

Great, I don't know if it wise to do weekly rental,because I know for sure that Nigerian driver if they give u 30k they will want to make 120k thereby making the car not last, thanks, I am not interested in weekly rental

Thank you sir, I really appreciate your honesty and like I said on my previous post, uber drivers need to start owning their own cars and do things on their own terms. Nobody wants to be a slave to anybody.. So I suggest that you can walk into any of the major banks in Nigeria. Let them know you are uber driver, show them your past performance on the platform. And am sure an auto loan will be approved instantly with low interest and with no collateral... we all need to start thinking outside the box.. Thanks for the interest and wish you the best in your present and future endeavours.
