The destination thing never works for me on Uber sometimes when I try to set destination it's doesn't work speaking a lot of English but at times it works you still don't get trip till you almost get to your destination. Though still trying to learn more about it.

Coketols:
Please does this set destination function really work, can anyone attest to it's efficiency.
I have tried it several times but it never works, I always set to Victoria Island in the mornings but it never finds a rider for me from the mainland.

Pls I still need a good car for HP/RENTALS if available. the rentals I'm driving currently is just managing and keran maje ile. Pls get in touch if available.

I need to get off these fleet asap the last time I work properly was on Monday car giving issue and they are not taking repair serious even after I have remitted 45k plus 17k in less than 2weeks Uber commission is included. Not still sure I'll work tomorrow pls if you have good car available for those options HP/RENTALS help a brother.

Sure I no dey risk am

MoonlightDrive:
Don't try it on the mainland.The curfew on the island is not really being observed, but anything can change in a twinkle of an eye why risk parting away with your hard earned money. Also note those using indriver at night have strong police/military connects...

Curfew no dey again? Pls give us update o, I still believe say curfew still dey.

Passionate888:
Which curfew again?

Indriver no gree give me request and it was getting late and I dey run for cofew .

Crvrider:
But you could have as well used Indriver to get a trip home instead blowing empty.

You are right sir, any rider that did not include stop option in their trip I'm not waiting for anyone even at 2.0 surge.

Pearl1910:
Even though that transaction was profitable if u ask me, but don't do that next time.
She could have come out and ask u to end trip that she has changed her mind or given u 1k or no tip at all. 2hrs is way too much to wait for a Rider.

Thanks to everyone on this thread I really appreciate your kindness, yes waited for the rider for more than 2 hours but at the end I don't think I'll ever do that again, she came out and changed the destination and we left at the end of the rip her fare was 6,300 and tipped with 3000 which was very annoying cos I could not do more than one trip afterwards I was coming to mainland Uber refused to let me set destination and all the trip I was getting within lekki which I can't take cos of it's was around 9:30 already and I need to get off the road b4 12am to avoid police wahala so I had to come all the way from ologolo to abule egba empty but I thank God with her 3k tip I was able to net 17k bought fuel of 4k, I opened the app around 10am and got home 11pm. I know I can be better. Thanks to you all for your love may God bless our hustle.

Okay thank you sir

Felicity001:
But wait oh... Somebody say make I ask you, why you no get bolt app?

Noted thanks you sir.

IFEBARBIE:
Make this area your playground

Now understand better God bless you sir Rome was not built in a day trully but with the help of ogas here I'll get there..I did not resign from work oo I am self employed ( crop and live stock farmer ) joing ant feeders no bad
na one place we go start. (

BAZ001:
1 week on the job ? You doing well ooing.
Hope you no resign job to come dis hustle.

Because of 1M ( I wake up 5am - 11am serious work, 12pm - 4pm light work , 4pm - 11pm die hard work)
But without 1million target.
Start work 8am play play and close after 10 trips or 20k no more driving till next day.

I wake up inside surge on the mainland and try to get trips to surge areas lekki phase 2 and from island surge I try to get a long trip to airport or anywhere on mainland, so I’m driving against traffic and on surge. Then I begin to do anywhere belle face, up and Dan like headless chicken.

1. Make sure you pray for favor and protection ( prayer is key ) sweet rides/ riders on surge with tips and good ratings and no Lastma/evil men
2. If you don’t live in surge areas, wake up early and set destination to Surulere/yaba or Ojodu Berger or lekki phase 2. ( I can’t drive without surge, too lazy to injure myself and low mileage Camry )
3. When in surge areas begin to look out for trips on opposite direction.
4. Avoid Lastma and task force they can demoralize you and collect your hard earn money in few seconds.
4. Don’t follow every motivation and dashboards here some of them have been driving for more than 3years. ( even me still dey learn, 1yr plus)

Better to join ants league feeder team if you have the credentials, you will learn fast. But to join them Na like secret cult

Good luck

Noted sir, you are very right my area is abule Egba I think from now on I'll be setting out to lekki. Thank you so much I really appreciate you.

tunlapapa:
What you seem not to understand is your starting point matters.
Someone starting from chevron can put on his app anytime and get enough requests but you seem to start from a slow area.
My area is a slow area, so more reasons to leave there early and set destination to the island (I mostly use castle avenue). Only on bad days I get to the island by 9AM.
Also learn to select trips and that can't be done in a slow area, so more reasons to start early and head towards busy areas.

I will try to utilize my time more but one is at time I don't get request for more than 30 minutes even an hour don happen b4, the worst day so far in terms of earnings was Tuesday I exceeded my driving time and still didn't net up to 8k though av improved after then meeting 13k plus 3k5h on indriver on Wednesday and I left home around 10am and returned around 11pm compared to Tuesday that I left by 5am and returned home by 5pm (after exhausting my driving time) yesterday I left home by 5pm and returned by 11pm I net 8k but I know I can do better I just need few advice from the ogas... Thank you so mu h I will work on my driving hours as you stated.

tunlapapa:
I drive only on uber and my daily target is 15.
Seems I read somewhere about your driving hours which you need to work on.

Like myself, I start work by 5am and be on my way home anything from 3pm. Being on my way home means I try to get destination trips towards my home, so by 6-7pm latest, I am home. This is done Monday to Friday while rest on Saturday then work 4hrs on Sunday. The reason for the weekend schedule is because Uber is useless to me during the weekend .

In all, I don't work more than 12hrs daily.

Pls come give me tips oo abi na because na only uber I dey use for now cos to net 15k daily self no look visible from waiting I don't seen for one week on the job oo.... Pls my ogas in the house chearfulgiver , Felicity001,IFEBARBIE
And other well wishers in the house I need ur help na only rental money ,Uber commission and fuel money no profit at all pls any advice you can drop your number if you want me to call pls it very important.

BAZ001:
You and pearl1910 should leave me oooh.
Since I learnt or discovered how easy it is to net 100k weekly, I set a target of 30k daily cos we must make 1M this month.
With all the motivation here and there.
Gbam Monday very easy 5am to 10:45pm
Tuesday 5am - 11pm.
Yesterday, hmmmm 6:45am - 6:15/11:20pm
The journey was smooth from morning surge request coming like flood waters, got a surge trip to iju and I don’t do iju at all. But was tempted cos of surge and target.
Immediately I dropped rider trying to position request to lekki phase 2 (waooh so easy to net 100k) will do this last trip and set destination to my house... target met.
Got to lekki phase 2 dropped off riders and started feeling sick. my brain and body started communicating.
My Body: abort mission and target, go home.
My brain: for where can’t you see how easy it is
Body:Na whala you dey find
Brain: no be your mate be CheerfulGiver
Body: That Na robot not human being
, ants are not human.
Brain: okay, can’t you see Felicity001 doing over 300 trips a month.
Body: Tahh feli Na chief Hoodlum driver
Brain : see IFEBARBIE moving up to top of league. so you want to remain in the bottom of the league with Gentlelife50 and donfortune48
Body: tufiaka, mbanu, I refuse to remain with Gentlelife50 & other lazyD

Set destination to my house, went to position in ebano admiralty. Time was 7:15pm
Dozed off for few seconds, by myself I switched off my phone and slept off.
Next thing I heard was bang bang on my door
Security: Oga we don close ooh.
I looked at time 10:44pm (wetin happen? Thought I slept for just 30mins)
I started car and drove home, on my way
Body: very easy to net 100k?
Brain: (oya look away)
Been sleeping, eating and sleeping since yesterday.
No be me and you dey pursue 1million again

Okay boss thanks.

IFEBARBIE:
It's a card payment. Just have patience. You can look it up later in your wallet.

thanks boss, I just need to do some calculations, I picked a rider on Tuesday and I did not see his fare or if it's a card payment the thing just disappeared and the guy said it's a card trip and since then I never see the earnings view.

kneo:
It happens at times. Click on your weekly summary again and be sharp. You should have 1 second window to view it before the plenty grammar reappears.

Good evening my bosses in the house,pls I can't see my earnings on Uber since the beginning of this week it's speaking too much English pls any advice?

Hay I don wise I no dey near shrine again from now on, Out of my 20 trips on Uber 2 na from shrine I no dey near there again thanks to my ogas on this platform.

BAZ001:
The last time I went to shrine 4 guys stormed out of the car like hit men to fight a guy and they asked me to wait that I will take them back. But when I saw the fight and people running. I just jejely end trip rider didn’t pay and zoom off.
Since then I no dey near shrine

Just imagine paid waiting on bolt , Uber dey mental.

BAZ001:
On my last trip for today, destination trip to my hood, if rider like stay with the man till 11pm so far paid waiting is on and she doesn’t cancel. I’m here relaxing too.

Na so me self start, now I have a manageable rental car that I'm not planning to use for more than December. Av tested the work and the car for three days and I'm ready to join the ants tomorrow just that na only uber and indriver I dey manage, but 50 to 70% of chearfulgiver net is my target for now even if it takes 15 hours to get there I'm ready,make my car no just f*ck up be my prayer.

sandammy:
Na Wa o. See as i dey addicted to this thread without even having a car to drive. I just hope when i start the zeal go still dey there and my leaders go still dey available to impart and transfer the strategies on how to work smart for meaningful result.

Okay sir, but chai Uber commission no be here oo I hope bolt is different sha.

chillex8:
Nothing will happen to your account for not accepting trips.
That's where Uber beat Bolt hands down and the main reasons I hardly drove on bolt.

Yes I get but I have to be careful at the same time the first one I cancled was in a dark and area at around 8pm 20min pick up time and rider did not call till I get there I waited for minutes and I did not see the rider sent text and no response so I had to cancel it and used the option ride did not show up. Another one in lekki I got to the pick up around 9pm called the rider and she said he had left I was like so why didn't you cancel the ride and said her phone was off I waited for 5 minute to cancel the trip thanks to indriver that day that gave me a destination trip back to abule egba.

tunlapapa:
You need to have patience and not cancel requests anyhow. Uber riders used to be right on time when there was cancellation fee but not the case anymore.

If you calculate the time you will use in getting another request plus the driving time to the pickup and the extra time the next rider will use before getting out, you will see that your patience will be better. Also ask for destination to know if its worth waiting for the rider to come out.

All the trips I have cancled are the ones riders did not show up after waiting for at least 5 minutes.

tunlapapa:
Waiting on this means you will wait tirelessly. Only few riders cancel after informing them you can't go to their destination. They will simply tell you to cancel since you were the one that declined the destination.

Noted sir thanks a lot.

donfortune48:
You're 100% safe bro.
Even if you reject up to 90% of your requests.

The trick with uber is this, if the pickup time is much, 10mins upwards and you don't want to go on the trip, just let it ring out. They can never penalize for that unlike Bolt.

But if you accept a trip, please don't cancel. Try and complete it. But if you don't want to go on the trip and you've accepted already, let the rider Cancel.

Thank you sir noted,

tunlapapa:
Only accept a trip you are sure of completing on uber, because uber frowns against cancellation.
In essence, accept requests that are close to you not the 5km requests nor the 20 mins pickup requests.
Should incase you have to cancel any request, just make sure you drive to the pickup and cancel with any of the any reason that gives security reasons, like rider didn't use face mask, no place to park, can't find rider. Doing this does not affect your cancellation rate and you do not need to wait for 5 mins. Just cancel once it starts counting down.

Having low acceptance rate on uber has not stopped me from getting requests, maybe because there are lesser drivers.
Here you have screenshots from my profile.

Ahh you can say that again sir, very useless app I'm frustrated already. Inside surge you no go still see surge request plus 30mins pick up time. Who go help me beg uche like this.

CheerfulGiver:
always accept all of uber requests and never cancel unless you've spent 5 mins at the pick up point. Very useless app

[b][/b]pls help me attend to this oo.... make this people no go block me oo na only dem I dey manage for now and I dey ignore request wella but I no dey cancel trip.

Gudvibes06:
