Whether 25% or 27%, wetin I know be say bolt commission too high.
Another thing na when passengers cancel, na you go still suffer am with your scores.
Na these two aspects be the major thorn in drivers garri.
Even, this indrive wey some of us dey praise for now, dem fit start their own anytime when they feel they have gained ground properly, cos na so dem dey start. And e sure me say dem self go start one kind thing, but for now, they're good.
If any app F-up, I go abandon am and find the one wey I fit cope with and use.
So simple.
BTW, I noticed that drivers don plenty on indrive, I don dey even see female drivers self.
Inside life.
Much respect, bosses.

Office work no go fit u again. E don be 🤣😂

Office work ké?
That one no be my portion again oh. 🤭
Much respect, boss.

I still dey wonder how many drivers wake as early as 5am to hustle.
When I started new, I did it like twice and I wouldn't say I enjoyed it. E no work with my spirit at all.
That time na when sleep start dey sweet my belle.
Those who wake by that time are drivers who always gross 50k upward on daily.
Now imagine such drivers come dey settle for 25k gross on indrive, dem go get annoyed.
I have said it before, if you be bolt driver who gross 40k minimum on a daily, you would hate indrive, cos 40k on normal day ain't guaranteed on indrive at all.
Na lazy drivers like us this indrive fit well well.
Now, the picture is clear.
Much respect, bosses.

Competing to get a trip on indriver is too high. And it takes luck and proximity for the rider to accept you.

Imagine the waiting time before you get another trip. Since I dropped my 2nd rider in vi at 8:15am. I competed for 3hrs 23mins before I got the 3rd rider.

Im heading home, only 3trips N14k5 gross since 5:30am, I don't have to strength to park and stay under sun.

I just missed bolt back2back If not i for don cross 20k

Firstly, I will start with your 14.5k gross; with this gross, you have 10k net with just 3 trips. If you asked me, I would say it's cool profit on just 3 trips.
Now, to the main point; indrive won't guarantee you the rush trips you enjoy on bolt, that's if the rush trips is your pleasure and not how much you make with fewer trips.
Make I tell you the scope of indrive:
1) don't expect rush trips - you will be fine.
2) always set daily target.
Na these 2 above I dey take run indrive.
On indrive, you could only do just 5 trips and you would beat your daily target, and bolt drivers fit mock you say you only did 5 trips where dem Don hit 10 trips, but that's not the point to brag about. What's of major importance is hitting your DAILY target.
Make I use my own case as an example;
On days like Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday, my target is always 25k gross. Many times, I hit more than that even before 8pm and I go home straight (mind you, I set out anything from 10am), I can't do this early wake up you people dey do. Inside life.
You see Friday/Saturday/Sunday, my target is always 35k, and many times, I make more than that, especially on Sundays.
Now, you will see that I won't get frustrated that I didn't make more than my target, because I already understand how indrive operates and I know my way around it.
If you set a target of 30k gross on a day's work, you will hit it.
As you made 14.5k that time, if your target was 30k, you will meet up. The secret; you will work till late night (like 11pm).
I used to complain about indrive, but I took my time to study it on my own. It's no magic, once you know all the locations on both mainland and island, you will have the edge on getting good orders. I guess you don't get good orders because you dey slow to pick. Well, I no talk say na so e be, but my experience on indrive taught me that.
I know say you be legend here, which knowing locations won't be a thing at all, but you probably too dey slow to pick rides. Abi you dey propose higher price ni?
Btw, sometimes, I spend 1 hr at a spot without getting orders, the reason has always been that because I see good orders but destinations would be a place I wouldn't want to go at that time of waiting and filtering some mumu fare prices that pop up like say dem dey wait for you.
There's no way you would wait 30mins without getting close-by orders, na we the drivers dey choose where we want to go.
Mind you, I know how bolt works and so indrive, I choose indrive over bolt 10x.
Yesterday, I did just 6 trips to gross that amount below, and check the time of my last trip. As I dropped the rider (just 24mins drive, cos I took International Airport to link to Ajao estate), I closed work and went home straight. If I wanted to gross 40k yesterday, I would easily have done that and close by 11pm, maybe. More and more like that.
The simple truth is that, as pearl advised, keep running indrive cruise, you will see that you're improving on it and getting the scope.
By the way, we (the indrive pilots) need more passengers, cos drivers don dey abandon bolt like this.
Much respect, legend.

Hi guy's does it make sense to buy a car and give to Uber let them look for a driver for it and I just collect my weekly share?

I have a very good friend who needs an HP deal, incase you would like to do man-to-man business, and not man-to-uber.
If this can fly, I can share my contact so that we talk better.
This my friend is a neighbor, and a very reliable guy.
Much respect, boss.

Tgiirl:
However, this may affect my weekly target cos indriver /rida are often difficult to get picked on good trips.

At the bold, you're wrong, baba.
Much respect, boss.

I can't believe I shunned Bolt 5600 bonus yesterday and still made enough money for myself.

Bolt will regret their strict policies very soon. The longer pick up without giving an option to decline is becoming the biggest challenge with working with Bolt.

The stress of trying to save your driver's score and also the stats required to get their bonus is really much. Sometimes, I'll burn fuel and drive for 7 minutes just to get closer to the rider and cancel with rider did not show.

The only upper hand Bolt still currently has is the fact that they have more riders than other apps for now.

Bolt still feeling fly because of the bold, that's just their strength (for now).
Much respect, boss.

Dailyparrot:
Obviously you haven't used Bolt for months now. This is a feature that has been available for some time now on Bolt.

Yeah, I have abandoned bolt for months now.
That's a good feature though.
That should give drivers much views of their earning on every ride.
Much respect, baba.

Much respect, boss.

Much respect, baba.

Crvrider:
I remember Pocah.ontas(where that babe and iz.u sef?) once said she enter ride when the driver starch him shirt. She said guy was looking crisp and fresh...guy even made her honey till she got to destination. Now how about that!?

I dey order for bolt and when 'some' of these people show up, I dey always commend them.
I've had various drivers showed up in clean outfits and good looking.
In early December that I ordered bolt for my people 3 times: drivers were 2 females and 1 male.
One female showed up in very clean silver Camry sport ('10 - '11 type) omoh, I was tripping.
The second female showed up in a black Corolla (2010 type) tinted. Chai! Babe fresh with cool voice (this one had over 7k trips on her record)
The male among them showed up in Camry (muscle 07-09 type), black and tinted.
All these people looked corporate and clean.
Though, they didn't wear shoes.
Omoh, I have planned to up my outfit game - though, I was never unimpressive.
Being a driver no mean say you should look like one, dressings self dey make passengers judge/rate you. Some passengers self (mostly female) dey check and recheck you when your dressings self sweet pass their own.
Every Friday + Saturday+ Sunday, I dey try with my dressings. na shoes I no fit wear as Pope ask.
Much respect, boss.

Crvrider:
Are you sure about this? What if I choose a fare higher than what the rider quoted?

Nope. You must accept the rider's fare.
It even happened twice yesterday.
I think it's part of the upgrades on indrve app.
When you see ride that's very close to you, accept it and see.
Much respect, boss.

Gentlelife50:
So you also know about sun burn?
Many people argued this here one time like that, they say u dey inside AC how sun wan take burn you?

I don't know why most of the comments I dey read today dey look funny to me.
Much respect, bossman.

pope191:
Rentals mean owner fix car right?

If you do 120k weekly and you give owner 30k, 25k on fuel, 12k for app. Then you should have like 50k to yourself.

The downside of this job is having a good car, but as good as your car may sound. After 2 years things may not be the same, that is if it gets up to 2 years. All the work I have been doing this Jan have been going to car. Lining and pot, socks... I still have engine sit to tackle. If you have a car and you have like 150k in your account that is making you to feel like you have one money somewhere car never show you shege.

How else do an ehailling driver want to look good. Shirt and Jeans with pams, AbI you want they knot tie and shoe. The hustle and sun burns one out. Just make your money and damn perception, you as a soul should decide what's important. One of the lessons I've learnt from this hustle is a beggar do have a choice.

True talk, baba.
It is all means to an end.
God no go shame us.
Make I laugh to the bold once again.
Much respect, boss.

Make I first laugh to the bold. 🤣🤣

pope191:
what do you mean by overlook, having your car might really not change anything. More money, more problem.

Boss, if one owns his own car and he's doing this e-hailing hustle and he's not different, maybe we should help such person beg his village ancestors.
If We wey dey do rental self dey flex (categorically), what more of a car owner.
More money, more problem? Ahhh, e don choke be that.
