Why do Uber drivers refuse to cancel the trip, Does it affect you rating or something? I’m asking because I’ve had a similar issue with someone else, he said he doesn’t want to go I said okay cancel and I left my phone and went out by the time I came back I noticed he started the trip and I was furious so I had to report him.

Why can’t you just cancel the trip bro is their any penalty and why can’t you gently explain to the rider how that penalty affects you.

This is for everyone.

First, I started by admitting to the wrong did.

I was just furious probably because of some bad ride previously experienced. I called this guy twice and took time to explain to him and affirmed him he don't be charged should he cancel I even went further to let him know his destination is off my way cause of curfew (inside Berger). Those of you saying it's wickedness, who is more wicked after all these explanation I gave to him. If police sieze my car what would I say to my partner?? Ok I should give police all the money I've worked all week long abi

I've had some bad experiences like this that didn't turn out well for me at the end of the day. Yes you win some and lose some, but do I have to always be at yhe loosing end all the time? I've done about 8km PU distance just because rider refused to cancel in which my account has bewn flagged for h8gh cancellation.

Now, my balance as at yesterday was above -N15k so cancelling a card trip would have put my account in a very high risk of being blocked. My account was suspended on Wednesday last week s8mply because a rider cancelled after I'd arrived and was charged. Uber said it was because my cancellation rate was above 7%. Let me stop here. So, All of these put together was why I took that decision to start the trip without the guy.

Well, as I woke up this morning I don forget and my conscience has prinked me and I sent him a text apologising and asking for his acct details to trx back his money. If him like make him send if him like make him no send. Me I don move on.

Thank God I eat the N7500 bonus after completing 32trips for the week so my balance is now reduced to about 3k.

Omooshodi thanks jor...na only I understand well but that doenst mean we r bad people.

Bad people don't have a conscience and I'm not a hypocrite who only share the good experience like every other guy here if I do good I don't say it but I come out bold to say all the bad I think I may have done that's felicity0001 for you all. And in any case it goes I make sure never regret my actions.

Vision2045:
I don't support this at all.....u should have just taken your cancellation fee ...Uber won't take it lightly at all....it's a case of alibi. U can't justify it

I will contest it n notin will happen. Yes its wrong but do you know how painful it is when someone blocks you from getting to your goal? Even after you've pleaded to them for mercy?

Uber has adjusted the trip already to 0:0 naira just now but I won't respond yet till after 48hrs b4 I'll respond.

People should know that the gentle and quiet man beside them is not just quiet nor gentle but more mad than them Some times.

I was at one event center to pick up a rider. 
Rider turned out to be the chef for the owambe. Rider wants to pack all her loads into my car. Even gas cylinder and that big iron burner that they use for those big big pots. I was so furious  that I wanted to react and tell her that I'm not going but the little asshole in me whispered and gave me an idea of what to do.
So I allowed her with the help of two of her boys to load their stuffs inside my trunk and the remaining one at the back seat to the extent that there was only a space for just one person at the back. Even the little space would not contain one person comfortably.

As if that was not enough, madam chef told one of the boys to lap the other one. Me was just standing by the side watching them do their thing because I already knew what I wanted to do.
At that point, my rear bumper was about to kiss the ground.

Chef : Oga we are ready come and start the trip.
Me : I'm not going again because of too much loads.
Chef : But it was a driver like you that brought us here with all these loads. 
Me : No vex. I no know say the loads plenty like this.  
Chef : So why did you allow us to take the time and pain to load and now you want us to unload everything ?   
Me : No vex.  
They started unloading... me return to my watching position until they were done.
As them suffer me, make me burn fuel to come do the work of a truck, nothing do me if I make them sweat small.
The thunder wey go fire that driver wey carry all those loads still dey do press up for national stadium.

HahahahahahHH... Guy u crack me die...lolzz... Even my madam self dey ask me watin dey make me laugh at this hr of d 9th.

Lol...

Can I imagine!

Aome drivers shall... Stupid!

eyinola:
that's how i get to one PU and discover the lady is going to next stop with abt 50 crates of egg, i was so mad ...this are the jobs of keke maruwa naa..I think uber/bolt should start charging for luggage, that's how i picked one guy from ojuelegba to ikeja, he was carrying plenty car spare parts to ikeja, trip ended 1300 and i am very sure yellow cab will charge noting less than 5K for that trip, when i still dey do my palm oil business i know how much i use to pay to carry cab ard once they see u r carrying load and its business.

Lol!!! Even danfo will charge for any load youre outing in their trunk.

I just did something very bad now but if I can handle it to the very last I won't regret it all.

After my last post I got a trip to magodo via set destination to Abule-Egba. 1.5km to drop off another request came in 6.3km (had I known I wouldnt have picked it.

Rider didnt call till I droppes of and time was 9:51pm already. Dropped off and the. GMap says 3.8km to pickup ETA 18min; 10:03pm.

Put a call through to riderer.

Me: hi, gudevening pls where you going to pls?
R: Berger
M: pls kindly req another ride it's off my path
R: Okay

I thought this guy waa gonna cancel but he didn't.

I calles him again.

M: pls sir you still haven't cancelled.
R: I'll be charged you cancel.
Me: you still have time to cancel without being charged pls kindly cancel so I can get a ride towards my destination.
R: Okay.

Guy still refused to cancel.

I then drove down to pu, waited for about 6min could see it was a card trip na there devil come enter my Godly heart and I said let me teach this guy a hard lesson since you want to spoil my own make me help you spoil your own too.

I started trip, got to Berger did solo 4passengers to ogba. I then decided to end trip at excellent hotel.

As I reach out the stupid guy sent me a textbwithin.

How do I report to uber now is what I'm trying to think now.

If you a good and constructive lie I can give to uber pls help me out.

pope191:
I been think say we deh together

No be only dey.

Abeg dey ur dey ooh.

If u want make we dey together request me make I no if truly uber won play me yayo because ive been in Babs Animashaun for more than 30min without any req with just 1 trip to eat the N7.5k for the first time since their useless promo came back

toomush:
Thank God...say I no drive today, as I see that traffic around 7am...I just say I no go drive today

I dey proposal party for lekki like this

C uber driver proposal party nawao...
Why jp no go ask for 45k per week.

ndubuis:
Lol. I try to avoid picking stuffs to deliver for riders as much as possible. It comes with issues quite often. Some would want the recipient of the item to pay for the trip, recipient may start contesting it, some will say the fare is too high that you branched somewhere else, some foolish ones will not even come to the car to pick it expecting you to bring it to their houses, I can't even touch a riders item let alone taking it to a house, so many confusion.

I rejected three delivery requests this week already. They won't tell you it's delivery and explain properly until you get to pick up, I will just cancel and leave. I no want that kind wahala.

I can only accept to deliver packages on rare occasions depending on the situation, item and rider's manner of approach with detailed explanation. That is, with abeg because I'm not a delivery man. Also, it must be a card trip and I won't touch the package, you drop it in the car, the recipient will come and pick it from the car.

Honestly you nailed it. Uber needs to review all these policies to say the least because I wonder why sb would want me to deliver their pakacge at their door step. The annoying one is that you've to start calling receiver and sender from d same small fare they want to pay.

Even this issue with loads it's beginning to piece me off, what most rider do now is order uber after keke or yellow taxi must have bill them high because if their load but las las uber will charge 400/500 naira for a trip yellow cab or keke must have charged 2k.

That was how I got this request today at pipeline in front of good luck Jonathan estate, drove to pu only to c a guy with two bags of charcoal.
R: pls I'm going to the next b/s
Me: whats inside the bags
R: charcoal.
His hands were even dirty from the stains of charcoal.
M: ha! You shld have informed me na, this will dirty my car.
Rider was trying to convince me it won't while I was thinking about it the next tin was ok cancel if you can't go.

Me that hate hearing that word. I just pulles over in front of the Super market, went to easy myself then came back and was buying roasted corn to eat, all of these is just to allow 5min ellaps oh.

The guy was still there.

Rider: Cancel na.
Me: oh! Sorry I tot u have.
Brought my phone put of the pocket it was remaking about 15seconds. I cancelled on "riders item doesn't fit".

The mumu guy got a bike, carry him load waka.


Nonsense, people you want to come and dirty my car for me plus take AC untop N400.

We drivers too have to be discipline as well if you see trips like that reject them and by the time 4-5 drivers reject the person head will reset.

15 trips, how una dey do am? lolz

Like seriously I also need to know... When menim struggling to do eat uber 7.5k on top 30 trips since Monday I'm still struggling with 18trips

Some riders Sha.

Was @ omole phase 2. By dt GT bank.

Request entered. Destination Ago palace way.

Me: good afternoon Ma'am, you requested for a ride.

Rider: wait for me by GT bank.

After d usual wait tym, she came around n we Stat trip.

Rider: Do you hv #4, 000 wt you.

Me: No I don't.

Rider: surprised, you don't hv ke.

Me: yes, o face front continued my driving.

Rider: OK. I want you to transfer ₦4,000 to me, when we get there, the person will pay the money together.

Me: confused , wait.. I thought I shd be the one doing the collection t, I will drive you n I will still transfer to your account again, I don't undastand. Abi Bolt has become PAGA ni

Background : rider wants to scam guy/Baba of additional ₦4,000 naira being added to the fares. Claiming she was coming from Ajah n not omole.

Me: I'm sorry I can't do a transfer, in my mind " what kind of effontery is dis.?

Rider : you ppeople think someone will run wt ur money, even if he doesn't pay, won't I return it. I kept quiet.

As w approached Berger underbridge to connect to d express. She said, maybe you have to end the trip, let me find another driver that will do it.

Me: OK, let me find a good place to park n end it.

Rider:You know what, don't worry, let's continue.

Me: no probs , in my mind " you think you can manipulate me by losing a good trip" I know another trip will come,


I saw another dimension of entitlement ooo.

Why must you use me to scam your man/boyfriend. n why must I hv to transfer to you. Like, when did bolt become mobile money operator.

Rider gave attitude throughout the trip. I no even send her or her 1star.

Ride ended safely.

Slide enter surulere, from there got trip to magodo.

Hahahahahahaha...

I.e
When guy man meet guy woman

Or when bad meet evil.

God punish her. She won chop alone don't mind her she wants to chop alone.

The real runs babe will tell you to do offline and you guys will have an agreement which you've to transfer her cut to her after the maga must have paid you at the end of the trip.

pope191:
Today ehn! My Musa eyes saw, almost every trip was a battle of musanga, out of the 15 trips I did, cancellation fee 4 times, it got to a point of picking a battle date with a rider (Tho I won't go, but might consider if Mrjaydee, Felicity0001 or Tojahh follow me). It is well... tho, I knew it's going to b like dis the moment I picked one girl on a 500 naira trip dis morning from one hotel and she was just shuffling thro d bra in her pulse to pay. I don't need any prophet to tell me, I've collected money from grandma's... had I know, I would have jus tell her not to bother

Hahahaaha.... Popolynline... Bad guy.

Abeg face your fight by yourself oh me no get power today to fight but in case you AK just let me know make I deploy some sharp!

jpworld:
And u think owners with camry v6, honda accord and other cars not much suitable with uber, are not accepting ur peanut offer out of desperation?

20k weekly and you claim they're making it big? Lol.

Anyway no need exchange words with a kid.

Until you invest 2million to buy a Corolla, then you come back and call me greedy.

Sir enough of all theae your talks. Do you have a tok you would want to give out on rental I'll pay you 35k, Provided all maintenance will be on you. Shay u said uber rexommended me to you the other time? Now I'm coming to you direct. DM me let's talk.

30k weekly, 35k self I wouldnt mind.

odimbannamdi:
I read your earlier post, and i was really surprised how so much emotion, anger, bitterness, selfishness and pride can be in just one post.

If you are in a position to lease out cars to people, be grateful and quit big-mouthing like you are doing your partners a favour. You need them more than they need you. If you doubt that, recall all your existing cars from your partners and see if any of them, just one of them, will die of hunger. But your investments will erode in your garage.

If your partners are remiting whatever amount you agreed upon, also be grateful and stop disturbing our peace here, please. You will not do them jack if they begin to play hanky-panky with your money.

I come here to enjoy people's experiences, if palatable, and empathize with them, if otherwise. Stop spreading negative vibe and sounding like a demi-god. Go to LinkedIn and see what your mates are achieving already and you will be humbled.

Thanks

Bless your heart my brother

I still try to understand why anyone in his/her right senses think or feel they're doing their employee a favour for the pay they earn or amount a driver is renting their property even after an agreement has been reached. If you feel you're doing the guy a favor then dash the car to the person or better still let them not pay you while ypu still maintain the car.

I'm still trying to heal from the heartbreak from this very word from my boss "I'm doing you a favor". That word hurts like hell[/b]you know but anyways, we talked about it and we're moving on.

After all, [b]understanding and misunderstanding are best of friends

Crvrider:

Wharf would be better

Btw here and ijesha izzuo recommended which do you think I can get these stuff at a cheap price?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]It's not necessarily Wharf you should go to.

There's a place called Westminster... it's before Coconut busstop..But I don't know if it's still as before..Besides, containers and tankers don cover everywhere

My advise? Go to Ijesha bus stop. Just after it is a bus stop called Warehouse.. You'll see them offloading all these items from Containers...[/color]

Pls who elae can confirm this place for me now or any other place I have a plan of foing there today. I no won burn fuel go there and dont get what I want.

Urgently pls. Thanks

Do drivers still get a +be balance on uber since after the lockdown was lifted??

As for me the last time I got a +be balance on uber was b4 the lockdown that was when ubee was still doing its 3% promo, most Mondays I usually add little amount to what ever uber credits into my account to pay my 25k rent but since the lifting of the lockdown I'd never gotten a +be balance. in fact now self I dey own uber about 13k self thus their 25% no b am at all

Anybody in transport as side hustle will not succeed.

Experience is the key.

I have change a Corolla gearbox because it doesn't enter revise not knowing it's Wiring problem. Kazeem cannot discover it, English speaking mechanic also condemn the gear.

But my ladipo rewire gave me the solution.

In this transport business understanding repairs is one of the key to success.

Reason you need an experience driver that don't just know how to engage the gear to move forward and backwards but also have knowledge of cars and the dynamics of how mechanics operate.

I bought my first car.... Lehe not go there.

Oga your problem is simply because you claim know too much. Maybe we all should just seatback and listen to you while you do all the talkings

jpworld:
I connect both drivers here on nairaland. They were posting regularly about Sienna between 2016/2017.

See i have been in transport business since 2014, started with golf 3 on ogudu road, then join uber 2016, drove uber for 2months, b4 i decide to settle with investing with uber.

I started with uber when rent was 40k above, and I'm still here.

Gentlelife50 has worked under me in 2018 when he newly joined uber without knowing he was working 4 me.

Felicity0001 has applied to drive 4 me, via uber fleet match after filling my form, i make my research and discovered who he was then i start doing him turn turn, until he become frustrated.

Godswill10 if u know that business that raise u 2million to buy Sienna, dedicate more to it.

There is no such thing as side hustle in transport business, transport business is more like snake eat snake, most drivers are vampires, looking 4 who they will destroy to enrich themselves.

Muwan! Applied to drive for you via uber fleet match? Like how? When? And where

Oga abeg if you don't have some thing to say just shutthefuckup!

My first signing on ehailing both Uber and Bolt was August/October last year and it was with my personal car. I first drove with bolt for like 2-3week b4 I got my Uber account activated in October and since I sold my personal car I'd only had 2 Owners partners, a lady I meet on NL but not on this forum and we only partnered for just 17days.

After I dropped her car due to a lot of faults for reasons I can't explain now I got my present partner her on this forum. A fantastic Boss and our relationship has been great ever since.

I don't nees to make boast of my good work ethics, experience, professionalism and knowledge not just in driving but also in customer and partner relations. For this reason UBER recommended me to Moove Africa and these guys have been calling, sending both mails and text messages with great incentives and offer just for me to sign up with them.

Tou would want to ask what's it about felicity0001 that Moove Africa is trying every thing possible to get him. It's nothing other than integrity, honesty, boldness, et el.

So if truly in your subconscious Uber at some time referred me to you and you truly did the turn turn turner you talked about then I must say you missed a good and fantastic hardworking guy who would have helped you build your dream. But off course I'm aure there was nothing of such.

I mention my partner to you here but a few peraons that have been previllege to meet me on this forum knows who he/she is and they can all would tell you the real person behind the moniker felicity0001. Don't be mistaken, me and my boss fall out a lot oh, sometimes we have arguments, misunderstanding and some sorts but we always find ways around it and respect each other. It may interest you to know that for almost a year since I meet him/her it's just once I've meet him.

So Mr get your facts right next time b4 you come up here to state some claims.

That person you talked about is probably not me.

Bigleaf1006:
I am not as crazy as that!! I kept emphasising that I don't do strictly e hailing.

How can someone expect e hailing driver to be delivering 35k weekly, isn't that madness.naj ghost him wan dey carry?

Oh sorry then maybe I misunderstood you then

Bigleaf1006:
He wosn't do 25 for e hailing, he won't do 40 for interstate, how confused can a man be. Maybe he should go and buy bicycles and be renting it to children, at least he won't be spending too much on maintenance

Chai!!! Bros you bad gannn!

Bigleaf1006:
Isn't that the same guy crying here about wanting 35k weekly for his cars this period.

If a driver comes now and promises him that amount he will quickly surrender his keys then come back after 2 weeks still crying about how drivers are not honest or how his car took a beating.

I have at Everytime tried to let people know that there are other transport segments more lucrative than e hailing at the moment.

But you too belong to the same bandwagon na.

I tot you said your drivers are remmitting 30/35k this period!
