Well, it's possible he didn't get the message from uber.

I've not received the mail either. Read it on anoder driver's phone some mins ago

pope191:
If rider cancel, ur rate will drop

Yes but that is completion rate not acceptance rate. Your completion rate was much higher than the least. If one could even afford to boost the acceptance rate at the expense of the completion rate by getting people to request and then cancel themselves, with both targets still being met: then it's a GOAL!

It was my bad, had a request on uber from Ilaje going to freedom way, took rider like 20 mins, so I have to leave taxify option open since I'm looking for mainland trip while I wait... As rider was opening the door, taxify trip rang, dat was how my gp dropped. She gave me extra 1500 sha and I gave her 5*

If you are in a similar situation next time, just accept and tell the rider you're on a trip & might take 10mins to complete it, he/she would cancel

maczig:
Couldn't agree with you more. I have followed ur posts on this platform assiduously and I can unequivocally state that you are well grounded in the knowledge of this business, not all drivers even old ones understand how this business functions. its not always about the money to function properly in this business. Why will I embark on a trip to Alagbado with my vehicle heavily laden with wedding gifts coupled with problem of bad road at that time of the day when I know I won't get a trip back.

Exactly. Riders self know that drivers reject trips to Alagbado & 'friends' except a newbie or if the driver stays close and want to go home from there.
I got a trip to Alagbado today, I didn't go. I know what I faced the first time as a newbie I went there (bad roads & no requests). Then I didn't know how to reject trips
Next request was to Sango Ota, had to say no as well.
Next request (after one rider canceled twice within 3 secs), I had to ask on phone before proceeding to pick up

evergreen9:
How much do uber drivers normally charge for a trip from the mainland (ikotun) to Lagos Island?

4-5k offline

brogxy:
Here you have it

Abeg how you get the 3k promo? Is it as a first time rider?

Hello house, have been following this thread for a while now. I have interest in partnering with uber/taxify(bolt) but firstly, I want to register as a driver and rent a car before my car arrive.

Now I want to ask the house if the business is still profitable cos I saw some people commenting that the turnover is not like before again. Pls my fellow people, kindly help your guy. Thanks

True, the business is not like before. Longer waiting time for ride requests. One need to work harder & longer hours and be more strategic. Not so bad, as one can still do it to get by while waiting for a better job or big break.

calabardick:
Dear house, I have an option of choosing either 2004 Toyota Camry or 2006 Honda Civic, which one should I go for?

Yes. Just ensure you do due diligence.

Like Ogas Gazzuzz & Dru advised, better to use small engine cars to be on a safe side. The ever falling fares make it difficult to maintain cars that consume more fuel esp if given to a driver.

GforGee:
I wish I get it sir. Thing is, I haven't gotten the balance amount and I haven't gotten any message. The car owner told me he was sent a message concerning the balance, so he had to go and input his account details. Last week was my first week in the business, so I haven't gotten any payments yet from Uber. I've only been getting payment from riders who pay cash.
That is why I was asking who gets paid between the driver and the owner!

I had answered your first question. On the issue of not receiving payment yet, it may be that your partner did not add his account details on time or he has been paid already. I got alert some mins to 5pm. They credit late on Mons at times. You may have to ask the partner whom added his account details if he has received the payment.

I just answered you now. OK na...Uber pays the person that has his/her account details with them. Therefore, if it is the account details of the partner that is with them, they pay the partner and if it's the driver, they pay the driver.
I hope you gerrit now

olumzzz:
Thanks but the i always hear of the issues with having an unreliable driver. A driver with guarantors, valid information et al doesn't guarantee he/she wouldn't ruin your car

Na luck and grace. Better to get one or two guarantors. You can do prepaid rentals too. Better you service your car yourself and major repairs too. There are still many God-fearing drivers out there

eherbal:
be wise bro.i had to save enough to buy the one I'm using so I won't come here with stories that touch. Make the smart move bro. Save yourself some heartache later

Decide on few options and ask people that have experiences on the options then you make a final decision

GforGee:
Guys, please who gets the payment from Uber, is it the owner or driver? And like what time should the payment be expected?

Depends on the agreement between driver & partner.
Mondays are payment days

Gentlelife50:
All these Yeye girls that will be disturbing me up and down Oga increase AC I wee just tell them "please why don't u come to the front you know it's hot this afternoon."
They will say " no worry I am fine here" case solved.
For my mind u better be fine

No mind them. Even men that complain sleep off in the car. If AC no cool, how you go sleep without winding down the windows?! As if AC no sabi weather

olumzzz:
Hi house, i need an advice.
My sister just got a toyota camry big daddy.
Is it still advisable to go into uber business?

Yes. Just ensure you do due diligence.

GforGee:
If you mistakenly hit this one enh, a blind man will ask you if you can't see

I had to completely pull off the road for one in the morning when I wanted to call a rider. My mind told me she might not be able to pass my parked car without a scratch

Rollitout:
Why was I cheated ? Abi Taxify no sabi mathematics again ?

I don't think they still use #60 for distance (I feel it is around #57 now) as the fare is short of #100 most times

femilambor007:
But what about the Infinix of 3GB RAM

I think a Tecno will be good from 2GB RAM. I use a Camon C7. Someone once mentioned Camon X too which is a more recent phone.

Does destination trip work well on Taxify?

Trsrrs:
Morning please what can I do , maybe I need orientation taxify blocked my account for 24hrs on Thursday due to low rating . It was opened then yesterday from 4.6 to 4.4 this morning when I checked again ,I no dey follow rider argue ,some riders even use my phone to call free and all that ,what can I do ? I don tire

Ask riders you are friendly or had a good rides with to rate you 5 stars immediately after the trips. Do this till your rating is very good.
I did this for about 2 weeks when I noticed my rating was fluctuating too much.

Riders think they have more sense than drivers.
Received a request on Uber and called the rider to confirm the address, the guy knew it would take me long to get to his destination as I would have to turn round after I told him where I was. Instead of him to cancel, he pretended network was bad and ended call. I called back but he didn't pick nor cancel (he had enough time to cancel without being charged o). So I kukuma enter street, chop and idea came to my 'brain'...'instead I should cancel and see nothing why not waka and cross and wait for 5mins chop the #300.

Riders don't know drivers pay heavier fines for cancelation. My cancelation rate don increase, na to do enough rides to compensate before Uber block person

brogxy:
Whatever works for you. I have restarted my phone severally while using taxify, also received calls, and I always use the Google map but I don't witness app errors. It could be my gadget or just luck.

Long calls on the same line used for data while on Taxify trips affect the charges esp while on bridges like 3mb. It happened to me from Somolu to Lekki #1,600 and I paid #300 toll o. The wicked lady that I went to deliver a package for only paid me #1,600

Phori:
Egbami oo.... My first Day on this e hailing business(Taxify)... I have been waiting for a request for about 2hr now around Surulere with no avail... Biko where can I go to ooo

I guess you've gotten a ride(s) already. Surulere is usually dry around this time except you are around offices. Better to be in office areas from 4:30pm on workdays.

teeroyal:
Please house, can 406 be approved for use on taxify and does anyone have the experience, please I need a sure response as I intend to put mine but I head taxify to accept 406 so I want to sale to get either Kia or Ford based on my financial capacity

They accept it as many people use it. As long as it is from 2004 (not sure if they now accept 02/03) above.
Just ensure the car is in good condition and easy to maintain.

segzyndpep:
It goes on iphone and android but wont fo at night maybe past 9pm

Does it really work on Taxify? People complained on this thread sometim ago that it gives trips off their routes.

eherbal:
Pls don't come to agidingbi or it's environs. You've been warned! I'm presently mourning my brothers on the island. As God saw Noah through the floods, He'll surely bring you out of lekki in one piece
