I use corolla; 10k fuel gross 40k on all 4 apps.

that means before the hike in fuel price, you usually gross 40k with 4k fuel?

Pearl1910:
Price has changed na...why una no dey do practicals but u go dey use theory they wonder. If u have a car try it, then come and tell us what ur own result is.
That person said his own experience, u too come and tell us urs.

bro there is no significant change in price to measure up to the hike in petrol price. Let's be realistic. Not like the fares were doubled

Barbiturate:
I was there bro. I carry vex pick 6400 from chevron to Igbobi on indrive. I drove about 17 mins to PU. I was like; instead make I dey here for long make these smallies dey take agba eye see shege, I'd rather pick nonsense and gerout. Meanwhile we reach like 6 or so, wey bid for am.

2ndly, I guess you use corolla. You should know how much you make with your full tank, if you work well(hard)
It is that, which you make, that is feasible!

For me, I use Camry and 12k(half tank) will fetch me 35k. Nobody fit call dog monkey for me! I don't believe everything here.

I swear bro. Someone rightly said 5k fuel now used to be 2k fuel before, still rightly said he used to gross 10k to 14k with 2k fuel then . How then did he say he grosses 20k to 24k with 5k fuel now? I don dey think the maths since...lol.

Slymking:
please I also need a car for the Uber job can you please help or advise how I can get a reasonable one to work?

no wahala bro.

LagBlogger:
Don't have this mindset it is bad. Remitting on time without stories will not make him look for another driver to work with especially as you know many people will gladly take your place and even pay 40k. If you still make something for yourself then hang in there till something better comes.

thanks bro

Pearl1910:
If u have another option after dropping the car, then go ahead. But the devil u know is better than the angel u don't know.
After driving for 6months, u should know there's no difference between 30k & 35k if the car is sound, and if u did fair better dropping the car.
My guess is u know what to do already.

I will keep the car and go ahead with the hustle. Thanks boss

northbird:
Boss man, keep the flame burning.. you are almost there.. please overlook the 5k extra ,count yourself lucky, a sharp and sound car is always an asset. Trust me ,you got a fair principal too. 3 months is quite generous.

yeah. Thank you boss man

Pearl1910:
People are doing rentals for 40k as we speak and this is after dropping a substantial amount for down payment. Drivers still they rush d offer. So u dont have to feel cheated, rather consider the owner of the car too who is pushing to get his ROI.

thanks boss. God bless you sir

pope191:
Boss 3 month is long enough of a time. My problem here is if it is rantel. As Northbird says it is marginal, but in-between it is not easy. As owner I can tell for real.

My advice to you is to try and be saving money, if you have enough experience before December, that is a ground for drivers to have much. Boss with a savings of 500k, you are half way to getting something of your own.

yes it is rental. Thanks alot boss

northbird:
Is it in the agreement? As long as the car is sharp and sound,Don't drop it, if you don't have another one waiting for you. 5k is marginal. If you are hardworking..
The best way to raise money for your own car and get experience is through rental.

. Yes sir. I work hard enough sir.

yeah the car is sharp. Getting the money and still making money for myself is not the issue tho , I just felt kinda ripped off. So I felt I needed more opinion from people. So I wont be only driver doing rental for as high as 35k .lol

pope191:
This is not a case, do you guys have agreement? What are the clauses in the agreement? How long notice did he gave you before the new payment?

he had been notifying me since about 3 months ago. The initial agreement was for me to pay 30k. Then he called for increment and redrafted another agreement

Barbiturate:
Fine, this is what you should have asked ab initio.

When I got to the luth canteen, I called and the wife picked and said they are coming out. I waited for like 10 mins and they didn't come out, so I called again and she said; "Pls my son, my husband is sick and he needs to eat and take his drugs. They are still attending to us". I entered the canteen and saw that she was 2nd on the queue, that's after calling and ascertaining that she was the one. I walked up to her and told her to do it 'take away', that I can't wait for him to sit here and eat! Time is money! She bought it and they entered the car and she pleaded for him to eat it in my car cos he needed to take the drugs.....I obliged.

I don't go about allowing people eat in my car. There are exceptional cases. That's why I said, we should be considerate. I will not pick any young man or woman and allow him/her start eating amala or any swallow in my car.

Na me get my car.....na wetin I like I go do. To each his own!

bro my partner just increased my remittance fee from 30k to 35k. I guess it is cos I remit frequently without stories. I am torn between returning the car and continuing with the car. Started using the car November last year. Talmabout alot of drivers are even offering to pay him 40k weekly.

Barbiturate:
If you're not doing this hustle full time, then you will never understand how some actions of some wicked riders affect drivers mentally. Even if you do this hustle and you feel putting up this reply is the best you can come up with after reading what happened, then you still will never ever understand what drivers go through from wicked riders.
The Femi Martins of this world can never and will never accelerate any plan B Jack sh1t. Anybody that will help you will not treat you like sh1t or piece of rubbish.

I called you before leaving and you told me to come. I drove 16 mins to your place. I called you immediately I got there and you rejected 5 calls. Sent a txt message, then you cancelled immediately. Now this is what you have done; you have wasted my airtime, fuel used for 16 mins, time, strength! If I keep getting them like this, then I should always be happy and clap for them, and hoping they would accelerate my plan B!

This morning I got another. She was going to Lekki from iwaya. I called her and asked if I should come and she said yes. She asked where I was coming from, I said Moore Road, close to Barikisu iyede. I left immediately and drove to her PU location. When I got to iwaya road, she cancelled. Called immediately and she started rejecting my calls. Now I should clap for her and hope she would accelerate my plan B!

I think we should be guided here!

honestly bro. Man be putting up with alot of riders' attitude problems

pope191:
As in 3 pending on palmpay. The thing they give me headache.

even almighty kuda shocked me yesterday. I never see money till now

HUMANIIST:
where do you reside?

how much will you remit in a week?

30k I reside at Surulere

obinoral1179:
if it happens like that don't go on the trip.except if its just to accumulate your trip for the day and it must be short trip.. pull some hoodlums behaviour to some guys in surulere on Friday, you order a ride of 800-900 and four of you want to enter the car and one you is Big Daddy to crown it you all you guys are not even relating well...... Ask all them to go down from my car and zoom off.

CheerfulGiver:
Bolt is a scam. They have no riders. They are on their last dance. After new year rush, reality will settle. This is bolt last night, on Christmas Eve, when indriver rates were off the roof, and requests coming in back to back. Surge at day nothing at night. Fuckingly inconsistent app.

I really pity bolt drivers

as in ehn. I was so dissatisfied yesterday mehn. I be like "why my own come different na" lol

CheerfulGiver:
If bolt is so fantastic, why are they giving drivers huge bonuses just to drive for them, and how long can they keep up? When are they going to address the 25% commission which is really the elephant in the room?

This is my indriver yesterday without bonuses, while paying only 9.85%

this is impressive sir. How many hours do you work daily on the average sir?

Treaster:
I thought prices usually surge during these periods?! I'm lost.

yesterday too, everywhere was red on the map. But when request come in, they come with no surge. I think sey I get bad luck ni. But late at night, the surge came

Evening bosses, Abeg do bolt give a grace period to do reinspection when it is due?

Glithronix:
@the bold - Good idea, bolt comes to play in such situation.
1hr without a close-by order is very rare. And yeah, sometimes, a 2km order changes to longer distance on map, it's a case of where one is positioned, then you can ignore such order and wait for closer ones.
If you pick such order, while other drivers are bidding for it, the rider could ignore you and accept the driver that's close to him/her. While your order is loading, you may end up seeing some close-by orders coming up but you won't be able to accept until the one wey you accepted finish loading.
Try hustling more in the night on Indriver.
Na inside my room I dey always get my 1st order in the morning on Indriver, that's how I dey always start my hustle.
You said in your initial comment that Surulere is a hotcake, you were right. Surulere and many other hot places.
Dnt worry, Indriver will sink bolt and Uber together soon. If you notice, there are more new users springing up on Indriver on daily basis. Time will tell.
Much respect, baba.

you too much , my oga. Do have a great day today sir

Glithronix:
Brotherly, why you go pick order that's 6km far from you?
When you're online on Indriver, it will always bring an interrupting notice of order that's closest to you, you quickly glance through the price offere, the destination of the order as fast as you can, and if you're okay with it, accept the order without wasting time.
That's for that.
Now, on choosing orders on Indriver - always pay more attention to new orders. Indriver always has the distance of all order requests attached to them, in Kilometers.
Don't just accept any order you see on Indriver, always check the kilometers first, the destination and pricing.
If an order shows 1.9km/2km/3km, there's possibility that the rider is close to you. What you do next is click on that order and check the "time" you will drive to pick the rider. The distance to pick the person is always "A" while distance to the person's destination is "B".
Note, you have to be fast on Indriver - all this I said should be done under 5 seconds and decide immediately, cos if you are slow, another driver go Don pick am before you click.
On Indriver, don't pick any order that shows 5km or above to pick up point, cos that will definitely be a long distance to pick the person.
Sometimes, you will see an order and it will show 1.9km to pick up, but when you click on it (not accept oooh), you will see like 15mins to pick up, that probably is an effect of traffic, or the route available to pick the person which you will end up driving 9km to pick up.
You need to click on orders first to see the time to pick up (A) and the time to destination (B) before you accept.
As I said, don't consider accepting any order that's showing 5km and above to pick up rider,
The only time you can do that is in the night.
In the late hours, even 9km pick up can show you 6mins drive to pick the person up with good price, that's cos it's late already and roads are free.
If you want to enjoy Indriver most, na in the night (like 9pm upwards).
But during the day, please don't accept 5km upwards to pick up point.
Bolt has a default minimum 2km pick up point for its drivers, you can increase it to 3km if you wish, but just know that you're going to have a longer distance pick up orders if you increase to 3km.
Now, use that logic to deal with Indriver. Normally, if I see 4km order on Indriver, I only check, I don't accept cos I know it is a long distance pickup point, except it's in the night.
Additionally, always check point "B" on Indriver before you accept any order. Normally, a careful driver won't accept rides going to Apapa, Alasia, Alaba, and other bad locations, so, if you see the point "B" pointing close to those areas, or any area you know have bad roads, my brother, don't accept it.
Don't forget, 5 seconds are enough for you to decide on orders on Indriver. Within 3 secs, I've accepted my own choice, and also have in mind that riders would always choose drivers who are close to them.
Please just take your time and study Indriver, you will not complain again.
Hope this helps.
Much respect, boss.

I get your point boss. But I have seen orders that show 2km on indriver and about 6km on the map. And I think indriver orders depends on where you position yourself. I was at ogba for about 1hr with no pop up from indriver. I had to just make peace with bolt so I could leave there. Indriver is great especially with their low commission. Bolt na ripper. Lol. God bless you bro

CheerfulGiver:
Story Don dey enter.

I still ask you, are you sure you want to continue this week, or you want next week, so you can clear up schedule or you wan change app? You Don dey stammer.

I'm here for you, just talk to me

boss good morning. Abeg do you use only indriver? If yes, then what do you do about the long pickup distance. How can one drive 6 to 9km to pick up a rider. That's a whole trip. Lol. Indriver is cool for real. I only get juicy trips with them when I position at Surulere. Every other places ehn, the pick up points no be here. I really want to learn from you sir

CheerfulGiver:
Bolt, is dead.

I agree. My only problem with indriver is long pick up distance. Or how do you do it sir?

Bolt no serious at all
