Guys avoid Eko bridge inward Island. The traffic is horrible

Avoid Lekki/Epe from Admiralty to Jakande too. Take Coastal road as alternative route.

Azertise:
Calling me otele because your brain can't hold two opposing thoughts.
Hope say no be with this surface reasoning you dey take enter express?

But guy you wicked, how you go dey call your fellow man Otele.

You go rethink your new name

I dislike ladies combing hair/attachment inside car during trips.

TheModerator:
Indrive will take about N1500 from the 8k you were to pay. His take home would have been about 6k. FFS 6k for driving 26km from VI to a traffic riddled Addo road? This hustle is the biggest modern day slavery in Nigeria at the moment . Even if you are on CNG, does 6k take home amount to labour and time? If the car was yours, would you pay someone 8k to drive you from VI to Addo in your own car and fuel?

There's no explaining why he bolted with your money. The fair deal for this trip is 15 - 20k in the prevailing economic situation. Maybe you should negotiate with him to return 60k to you. He may listen to that offer. Otherwise, just take it as karma.

So two Wrongs don make a right?

VaselineCrew:
Got a pickup at Palms mall Oniru

I get there, park at the drop off area, just 5 steps before the main entrance that pedestrians walk through.

Lady did not agree to walk those 5 steps, telling me to drive forward and block that entrance to pick her.

Not a metaphor, I’m talking about LITERALLY 5 steps. I am talking, if she stretches flat, she could touch my car bumper. I’m talking 1,2,3,4,5 steps.

Na so the lady cancel oo.

Thank God I got another ride. My God hasn’t failed me yet.

The wickedness and entitled mentality of some of these passengers ehn!

Before getting another ride, I saw her request again when I had left, and I was like:

So you rather stand there for 20 mins than take 5 steps towards my car?

Some of these people want to make you feel small, don’t let them.

Not saying to be proud, but please, dont let strangers treat you like dirt cause they “ordered” for a ride

Na Kumuyi this post go vex pass

jideflash:
Abeg dear house. Help my friend get back his money from this wicked indriver. My friend mistakenly sent him 81000 instead of 8100, na so baba refuse to pay back, none respond to my friends call.

Have you reported the transaction? Also report to Indrive too on social media(Twitter) and email

chicfarmer:
This explanation no clear. You work #117k. Minus #49k for fuel, balance #71k. There is no provision for commission in your explanation.

Check the screenshot boss, na from Earnings you go comot Fuel money.

Bolt/uber/indrive will show your earnings for the period, my Earnings for that 2 days was 117K then Fuel N46,300 used to refill my tank back to Brim

Filling back to brim is how i calculate my profit n loss. I always start my day with full tank or refill every 2days

obacasmir:
Have you removed commission?

After commission and fuel money na 71K remain boss

E don reduce compared to when i dey run full Uber daily

Raymondfayowole:
Whats your honest advice for someone willing to go into the business with moove..is it still profitable to at least settle daily basic needs.

If you need daily income then Uber, Bolt & Indrive can help you achieve that

For my monday & Tuesday trips i got total 117K and bought N46,300 fuel. So i got 71K after fuel. I use Matrix sha and i dont drive more than 4-5 trips daily a few offline

You might need to have a working route, some make more than this

Bloombrandi:
Does anyone really get this Bolt bonus.

With the inability to get the bonus, and no surge, with ridiculous prices, this work is becoming harder to break even

You have to follow the T & C to get the bonus e.g dont cancel, pick all orders that comes to your screen, drop off at the exact destination point

You might lose your account chasing the bonus if you are the selective type of driver

TUBLEZ:
Abeg what’s Uber doing 🤣🤣

Card or In-app payment trip

Biodun1929:
On what exactly? If it's on the Uber business, I stopped when fuel became 1300. I haven't driven since March 1st when the Iran war started.

If it's on my car chopping fuel. I still don't know.

If its on your car Oozing fuel, you need to scan the car and check STFT(Short term fuel trim) & LTFT(Long term Fuel trim). The addition of both should not be more than + or - 10%. If you get more Negative or positive Ask Chatgpt what to check, i would have explained but its a long process to diagnose

If Check engine light didnt point to the culprit

Heph19:
Good day everyone, I am new here. I want to start driving. I have a Matrix.

I have been verified on Indrive. it was pretty straightforward. I want to go for Uber and Bolt inspections. Please I'd like like know what could disqualify me from the inspection.

Then what should I know about pricing on Indrive plus what other things should I know. I intend to work morning till 7pm daily for now then reduce my work time to mornings and evenings.

I'll appreciate any guidance I can get

Welcome a board, you might need to read back to pages 6190 up to the last page here, so you can note tips and also learn from others experience. Regardless there are some things you will only learn on the field(while taking trips)

1. Obey traffic rules(no let LASTMA/POLICE/FRSC use you build IGR). Drive safe like you still need your car the next day

2. For me i have a working route, i dont go anywhere and everywhere

3. Learn to use all app to your advantage (its very easy to lose your bolt account for declining orders). No app is the best

4. Some days you enjoy surge and some days you manage bad prices except you rest for another day

5. Mondays, Saturdays & sundays are the best day to start as a novice( weekends especially)

And so much more

Nelochukwu:
so una dey take that kind trip. Me once it involves one stop I'm not taking talk less of multiple

Indrive, Bolt & Uber i dont take it ever again

If you book me on Bolt and want to add a stop it will need my approval

But Uber doesnt need Drivers approval to add stop, i dey change am for customer wey wan add stop on Uber after dem don enter motor. let me end this trip here and you rebook me to your next stop offline

Multiple stops on Indrive is always a bad trip, dont take it

Dabadwela:
No put hope

Nothing comes down in Nigeria. As e go up e go stay there

Then why do you hope CNG price will remain the same in nigeria to increase earnings?

Even if na N800-900 per litre

TUBLEZ:
Guys let’s be careful this rainy season please 🙏🏼

Obviously his first time passing Agungi, besides you fit dey enter canal make wicked passers by no tell you

This is the side that leads to Northern foreshore estate, hid life will never remain the same again after that experience

One man wey follow me enter Agungi water 2days ago i jst dey laff am when flood enter hin motor reach leg level na for Bakare estate gate e dey drain water

My small tip: If u have no option than to pass a flooded street you dont go slow, you drive fast to split the water with your tyres

tobby98:
Today's prices was so bad that I had to run home after just 2 trips, mind you I started around 4pm

Bad days like this na to go home reserve the energy and make car rest too

Riders will not hesitate to put ridiculous prices on dull days, na why i no dey pity them on surge days too

Nelochukwu:

Kumuyiii:

Memberclub:
OG’s in the house. how do you handle poo whenever you are on the island. also those who sleep in their cars

Find restaurant, Banks, Hospitals, security house shit my bros.

I think say my Yakubu go fit manage reach Mainland back before i use toilet

tobby98:
I partly agree, but not totally, if there's surge which most times is as a result of weather, driver scarcity etc the surge would generally be on all apps. Bolt surge is usually sweeter coz most times a 17k trip may eventually get to be 24k at completion. The catch for Indrive is not be eager to accept orders but patience and selective trips. I would advise using both for best results

The weather is no 1 factor for recent surge. Especially when it rains before 7am and also rains b4 4-5pm

capetownboyz:
yes AC was on all through ..Camry hybrid 2008 .yeah long distance and few short ones ..

The hybrid battery still good? Wetin make u spend 600K on ABS boss? The mechanic no do you bad?

cyif2003:
Comfort is from 2010 cars upward

It says 2008 upward here

Gentlelife50:
Thank God it has been sorted, go and sin no more.
Please service promptly, no dey tey.
I pity some drivers that drive for sometimes 2 or 3 months without changing engine oil.

When i say drivers should service monthly person for here say make e reach 3months atleast

TUBLEZ:
I don’t like Uber prices unless it’s priority but what u can’t take from them is in a situation like this and best in traffic and waiting time too , that’s why I don’t get angry waiting for riders on Uber 😆 this trip was 6600 got additional 1800 for waiting for shout 9 mins

The day one lady waited(aprox. 25mins) in supermarket for a 5mins trip. Immediately her countdown finish i just see "CHARGING RIDER FOR SURGE WAITING" i message the madam she say dem never see her transfer okay oo, when we later start trip reach destination and i end trip check price na both of us shout HAAA when we see price thank God i followed the route she told me to pass.

tobby98:
Them don feel the heat, tbh, most drivers just avoided Bolt and they felt it. Most folks i carried told me how it is hard to get ride on Bolt most times but easier with Indrive.

The woman i carried last week in lekki said she has spent 4hrs looking for Driver on Bolt b4 i picked her. I was shocked, she had to collect my contact for offline against next time

All these Intl Airport people that want to carry 4 heavy bags and also fit in family in cars

Too stingy to order two rides

From BOLT... Lets see if there will be difference

tobby98:
As someone who uses both Indrive and Bolt, I think Indrive is better as we speak, the freedom to see where you're going to is underrated(Coz i don't go everywhere and anywhere) and the surge on Indrive is about to be making sense now. I am team Indrive for now.

Surge on indrive is sponsored by Bolt & Uber surge.
So riders run away from them to come and bid lower on Indrive, na u go compare both apps b4 accepting

I dey comot 10% for dem, if dem no gree make dem go order the surge price on Bolt or let another driver carry dem.
