TheCar: Well Boss, it depends.
I currently (temporarily) use a 2012 Toyota Corolla for this business and from my little interactions with some so called drivers, you need hear how ridiculous some of them can be but listening to your advice to Car Owners never to go below 35k as weekly rental payment, I choose that as a point of reference.
Some drivers have the boldness during my pre vehicle inspection to tell me they can only deliver 20k, someone claim he can only do 15k weekly, somebody said 25k, whereas some said they can only do 30k weekly.
Mind you, I will handle all my repairs and preventive maintenance since I don’t want anyone messing up the car for me doing cheap work. Like penny wise Pound foolish.
They all claimed they will drive the car more than 10 hours daily.
Now the cheapest engine oil 0w-20 AFE not even extended performance or high mileage since the car just clocked 70,000km in mileage is not cheap.
So in other to be fair, I asked for amount equivalent to agreed weekly rental as security deposit, if you can’t afford it, you pay what you can afford upfront and balance the shortfall within a month after you take possession of the car, which I believe is a Win-Win situation for Car Owner and Driver since we are both stakeholders in this venture. Never ask a driver what amount he is able to deliver.. Because we all know that rental is between 35k to 40k weekly.. There is a lot of greedy drivers on the platform.. Even if you give them rental 15k week. They will still come with excuse and stories. Funny enough I was advocating 40k weekly on a few threads, somebody now said that the amount will mean that the driver will over work the car.. Regardless the amount u give them, they will overall work the car o.. Better try and get your maximum. All the drivers were attacking me coz of what I said. It is there way most of them. So chill for now till you can get a good driver.. If you rush and take any driver now, u might regret it o.. Better yet u can try carshopper , he is fleet manager.. Don't feel bad my brother even one of mine drivers is owning me. My manager had to go and carry the guys t.v. and hold for ransome. |

TheCar: Well Done Sir and well said.
Zero tolerance for stories that touch the soul or heart.
For jjc like me, collect Security Deposit (i.e. One Week Rental Payment Upfront) and collect your car on first default or story using the upfront payment as weekly rental payment for the default week.
It’s business, because mechanic wouldn’t accept stories for preventive maintenance and other cost associated with the car. Funny enough am thinking of collecting security deposit from now on.. Now, what do you think is fair amount for security deposit.. The weekly rental I beliefe is too much .. Am thinking collect half of it.. What do u think about it.. Am trying to fair at the same time |

TheCar: From my little understanding, Driver don’t joke with Fridays, Saturday, Sunday and Monday Morning so asking to use the car on Sunday would be a bad deal for the driver but do ensure to do physical inspection once a week until you are completely sure the Driver is trustworthy.
The Ogas for this business can help direct you more.
Carshopper Gazzuzz Dru23 Eniyinne Correction... when you refer to the ogas on the thread.. Kindly put "small boi". Nxt to my name.. One oga at the top called me small boi.. Cough... cough... and cough we are not going to mention names ..cough and cough ... Now back to the matter, whether the driver is trustworthy or not. I do inspection every two weeks, apart from what my manager does... |

solutionboy: Good evening everyone. Please I need your valued input on this. I drive an Honda Accord 2005 EOD 3.0 engine as taxify and I have come to discover that it consumes fuel alot and practically everything I make always go into fueling of this vehicle. I complained to the owner who had his mechanic check the vehicle and the mechanic discovered that there were no catalysts in the vehicle, consequently catalysts were bought and fixed. Unfortunately after effecting these repairs the problem still persists as it still consumes fuel alot. Anytime I buy fuel I do a trip the fuel goes into reserve. Today, I spent the sum of 7,100 all together to fuel the car and making 15,000 in return with taxify commission included in it. Please what are your takes on this. Please advise on way forward. Drop your number for me .....ASAP |

GAZZUZZ: 3 uber vehicles for sale, all currently on the uber platform and brining in money weekly.
1. Honda city 2007 automatic transmission.
gold colour.
2. Honda city 2007 automatic transmission
ash colour.
3. Kia rio 2007 manual.
All three cars are in excellent mechanical shape.
There are scratches on the rio on the front and rear bumpers, also scratches on the ash colour city.
Vehicles are available for scheduled inspection (driver has to be notified to bring vehicle in)
Reason for sale: Upgrading entire fleet to hyundai elantra, the new vehicles are almost ready for distribution to old drivers.
Hahaha.. I surprised o.. Upgrading the entire fleet to elantra.. I am shocked o.. Coz I recall very well when you said elantra are not strong enough for uber.. That the elantra electric steering wheel will not last due to naija bad roads.. And I reply you that my own electric steering is doing good.. And your respond is that I should wait I will start hearing noise pretty soon, which am still waiting to hear o And also how long have you waited and tested the elantras on your fleet? How long is your test run on the fleet to finally give you the conclusion that you will run full fleet of elantras ? Because before I concluded that I will use elantra as my official uber fleet , I waited to see how long those cars will run. And my test run on the platform is 11months now. It will be a 1 year in June. So my point is how long has been your test run on elantra. Well I hope it works out well for you, the only downside to the elantra is that it will get more expensive to buy now... which am experiencing now in the states... The lesson in life is that don't be afraid to take chances. Be bold and take a risk. I took a risk on those elantras ,upon some discouragement from people that know better than I do in cars. I can recall doing the Peugeot madness or lion madness. People were saying lion is the best this and that. But I stuck to my own belife .life can be funny .whichever welcome to the Elantra family... |

Emekayoung: Exactly my point. A taxify/Uber driver was involved in an accident last night at about 11pm,I stopped immediately I saw the incident,I asked him what happened,because the car was under a trailer. One of those trailers that carry container of goods. He said Bros na sleep carry me o. Then I asked why didnt u notice the sleep and give yourself a rest? He said its because he owes the owner of the car 10k and the woman is on his neck,and she even told him to pay up this morning which is Saturday,if not she would retrieve the car from him. Now tell me wats her again at last? Did she get the 10k? The car is gone and the 10k is gone. My point is,this e-hailing business is no longer as It was b4 because they have slashed the fares and there are lots of drivers on the platform. So be mindful of the weekly pay u dictate to ur drivers..

You be funny guy o.. Now in terms of compete... bet your bottom dollar I can compete... how low can he go ? That should be the question... we buying from the source in the USA... so what is there to compete for bro... like Trump said will see when the time comes... just keep in mind you can only go so low in prices... before you start lossing profit |
