No bro it doesnt count against the driver if its a no show cancellation, it only counts when it's an abrupt cancellation.

I am sure this answers you

GidiWoodsMan:
'no show' rider does not count as a cancellation.



be careful in that zone, lg touts do try to tow cars there atimes

It very much counts. As long as a driver cancels, the cancelation rate goes up. Always check your cancelation rate on the web

Xneg:
If she didn't spend more than 15mins, the base fare is more than the wait time so it would have been more profitable for you when she requests you again.

Like you said 'if'. Just that many times when riders tell you 15mins, they end up spending 25-40mins.

I'm waiting for one at the airport for an offline return trip for over 50 mins now. She initially said 5 mins and then 10mins. The bad news is I didn't charge for waiting time because she told me 10mins max. I would have waited for over an hour by the time she's ready. I hope she agrees to pay for my time.

kayusmile:
the incorrect fare just happened to me.. from Alakuko area to Magodo, the thing showed 800#. thank God d rider was understanding and gave me 1500# instead

Cool but the fare should be almost double of the #1500.
Taxify is killing drivers' morales.

Taxify was at it again yesterday! Two trips with incorrect fares....both cash trips

One understood and added more money. The other was a heartless lady that claimed she saw #1,500 as estimate from Magodo to Idumota! Thus did not add a penny. Worst thing was I entered the very dirty flood in the market after I dropped her & her mum off.

So disheartening...

GforGee:
Help oo

You can move close to the Dominos there

EaRtHgUy:
Where can one get a trip around Issac john. I ve being there for more than one hour now yet no show.

Ikeja GRA I guess. Move down to Ogba or Opebi (residential area like Salvation). Ogba dey always sure, around Ajayi road/Yaya Abatan

olusola2bello:
Abeg o uber is still charging me 25% even after 15 trips.....how do i complain to them o....pls help

In-app msg.
After sending them the message, if you have Taxify, I advise you switch until your 0% starts.

franksam2009:
Na wah for this island Sha, no public toilet not even one, if shit catch u while on duty, u'll wish u never left home that day

Na only very early in the morning you fit struggle to poo. When Gtbank & other banks got you covered till 4/5pm, Chicken Rep dem cover you all day till about 9/10pm and overnight self on weekends (Admiralty things)

eherbal:
nice one baba, May it turn out well.Bolt is nothing to be reckoned with bro. I missed a request that did not alert me on their platform yesterday. I just saw a prompt that said I did not respond. It's always happening

One big problem they have is the app. It demands too much of strong network compared to Uber.

Xneg:
Uber is light years ahead of bolt, there's nothing they can do to become better.

They have many things to do o. First is to fix their app. Why do they say lite is #60 per km for Lite but the fares show a less amount being charged.
Also if they reduce their commission to 10%, na Uber go pack!

eherbal:
you dis evasive nigga. Where you dey all dis while? E be like say you no see the 4g LTE signal for the screen shot? Make we just jejely agree say Bolt don yamutu

Likely your phone issue. Try connect with WiFi. Have same issue...I always use hotspot from my other phone and connect with WiFi from the phone I use for Taxify

BucketMan:
I started following this thread not too long ago but i must say i have benefitted immensely and i'm willing to give 200k to any person here that can convince me that he has an acute business acumen and will make good use of the money....it's my own way of giving back to the community.

Have you made up your mind on the business you wish to do now? If not, I would advise you go into both investments and business I.e share the capital like ratio 4:6 or 3:7. You can invest in businesses that are currently working while you start a business of yours. Likewise you can invest in real estate and/or treasury bills, also in agric - there are farms you can partner with.
As regards business, you can go into production of alcohol like those alomo things, fish farming, sales of Nigerian used/toks cars and car wash.

BAZ001:
Thank you make I go position for odongunyan
Nooooo odongunyan is 52 min from me,
Abeg na ikorodu I dey so "Oba sekumade Road "

Drive towards Agric or Just Rite Ogolonto.

mistadayo:
I took a trip from jakande lekki to odongunyan ikorou for 6k plus 300 cancellation fee. Was it worth it. She said we should do offline. That was around 11.30 And got to ikd by 1.30pm. Saw a trip to ejigbo from odongunyan for 4500. It's a pity my 0%for this week hasn't started after completing my 17th trip...

It's about 5k+ considering the time spent & distance on Uber so not bad. And very good you got a trip from Ikd too

Chasing surge on Uber is like chasing shadows at times. I for kukuma accept one of the 2 non-surge trips

BAZ001:
So VIO stopped me today and rider was sitting directly behind me not on owners corner.
The officer parked me and started the checks.
I was Lil shaky cos I've read about LSDRI here on the thread.
Fortunately or unfortunately the rider came to join us who happens to be a corper and the oga saw him
He called the officer checking us to allow us go because we are corpers
Fortunately - I was let go
Unfortunately - I still don't know if he would have asked me for lsdri (since I drive my own car but rider was at the back)

Abeg which one be Hackney permit ?

In DJ Khaled's voice, Anoda One!

julietromeo:
It takes 24hours before the system will recognise you have done the 15 trips. Uber promises to refund last week but they didn't. I did my 15th trip on Tuesday morning and switched to taxify when they charged my 16th trip. Had to wait for 24hrs before 0% service fee started.

In my case last week, I was charged until my 21st trip. I sent a message to them that night and by morning, I got a message on 0% starting and it was zero from then. So you maybe right that in some cases, one may not enjoy it until the next day.

slamstanlee:
I don do many trips on top the 15 trips them still dey chop the 25%. Una wey do am last week na so the thing dey go ni?

Send them an in-app message, it should be sorted some mins after

ifyeez:
You no see rain ni

I see am but no reflect on my app for my area o. No request on Uber and Taxify dey give me 52 mins pick up! I kukuma sleep after 1hour+

Epphy:
Are drivers on strike this morning in Festac or they already took trips to Island?

It is Ago palace's turn for the surge!

Are drivers on strike this morning in Festac or they already took trips to Island?

Lumi27:
Thank you for confirming . Only God knows where they got our emails from

I went today. Spent almost 6 hours there. My only consolation was the financial talk I got from them which was some sort of reminder anyway. The important part self no reach 1 hour. Just wasted the rest 5 hours with their sweet talks.

lexini:
The point I’ve been trying to make is that if a driver is particular about going to certain locations, he should call and ask the rider for destination immediately he gets the request, not that the rider should call him and give him his destination - like say the driver is doing the rider a favour.

I case my rest biko

Enough grammar spoken already

Your 'king' post didn't indicate this new message. Yes, drivers should call especially when they have destination preferences at night. I like to call my riders always regardless of destination, some riders call while I'm dialing or using the map to find my way to pickups though

Mjosh1000:
After 23trips m still been charged 25%
What is going on gan gan

They are experiencing a glitch, they should refund us. I've done 21 trips too, still being charged

Rubbiish:
The RIDER is the real king, regardless of the time
I see many drivers make mouth here and i laff
One thing every driver should know is that, the moment you carry a rider, he automatically becomes your employer, it is simple logic, because you are working because of him. So when i see drivers rating riders one star for uber to block them, i just laff. Any business man here will know that you can sack 20 employees in a day and get same number of replacement in the same day, but any organization that will block only 5 customers will take time to replace them.

You have a valid point but I was talking about night when finding a ride to some areas can be very difficult.

lexini:
Na only Uber or Taxify dey?

Enter bike, take yellow cab.

Na free ride?

Truth is, before u make the 4th request, u go see driver wey go gree carry u.

Driver isn’t king biko

Yes I know customer is King. Drivers can be kings when the riders are going to locations people hardly go at night because of different reasons like security, ride requests at the time, bad roads, etc. Riders sometimes decide to change their destinations when they can easily get a driver at nights if they can't get drivers going their way. You can't expect drivers that stay on the Island to take you to Ikorodu from Lekki at 10pm. So they are 'kings' at that moment albeit for a short period.

lexini:
TThis is nonsense.
Why should he call to tell the driver his destination?
Is it a free trip? Won’t he pay for the service?
The rider, not the driver, is king!!

Obuso king. Until you are in a fix for night when drivers decline your destination, then you will know the REAL KING

Cooladex:
Keep deceiving yourself there. Stringent conditions indeed.

I am active on both apps and I prefer to drive solely on taxify. What works for me wouldn't work for you oga.

Maybe you are on Taxify (not lite). People with 2005 cars & above enjoy Taxify so much as the earning is about 20% higher than both lite & Uber.

sharpk007:
am telling UU... even cancellation Fee is 100%... I think am enjoying this Make U na stay with Ur Taxifire oooo

Wow...didn't go out today. I have 4 to go now. I should join you enjoy tomorrow.

This is why I like Uber.
Uber & Taxify both have advantages and disadvantages. Let's choose right based on what works best for us.

inferno82:
Pls can I apply as a Uber partner driver with temporary driver cos I have applied for my driver license and it taking time to be ready for pickup. Pls I need urgent answers. Thanks house

Yes & yes, fire on.
