On your Uber Partner App and if u registered as a partner driver like I did, u can access that option. It's officially Uber design. they had another company that ran the operations of that pairing drivers and partners. Uber shared info of both partners needing driver and drivers needing partners with them.

As a Fleet Manager, I can see all my drivers, names, car, plate number earnings, even the trips they did, fare and the time, when I log in to my Fleet Manager account online. Its Ubers design. Uber has different websites for drivers and partners. Unlike Bolt

Pearl1910:
Let me speak for Uber Nigeria which I know.

Uber initially had a program that paired drivers that needed cars with partners that needed drivers. Officially.

As a Partner, from your account u can manage your fleet, see all your driver's performance, the trips they took and their daily earnings.

Infact if u want to go the Fleet Manager route, all ur drivers' weekly payment enters your bank account as the partner. Then u and driver will do counter balance as the case may be.

So we can say without a doubt that Uber Nigeria is aware, designed and sanctions Rentals.

So those functions you are talking about are in place if partner wants to go through the stress.

radautoworks:
the Uber model was never designed for rentals. If it was, functions would have been built in the app for transparency to both parties.

Nigerians did what they did best and tried to make more money out of someone's business model and this confusion is the result. Why all these issues? Because owners cannot verify renter trips and have no access to view. Of it was, rental agreements could be based on percentages to make it fair to ask parties but it is not. Why? BECAUSE UBER WAS NOT BUILT FOR THIS.

Uber would never have expected drivers to rent vehicles for this purpose (and in other countries it actually disqualifies you from driving).

Uber would have never expected two drivers to share an account.

Uber would never have expected all the creative saka which is why there are loopholes in the software. They never encountered such.

Uber would have never expected drivers to request themselves which is why in other countries there is no problem with having both driver and today app to my knowledge.

Nigerians did what they do best and shocked the crap out of Uber

dapotemi:
Is this from you or someone is using with your phone? You're advising people not to pass their point without insult? You're also telling us to be civil! Did you see one of your response to me, despite the fact that i never insulted you here. I did not reply you, because it's a waste of time. Let me look for your post again, you hypocritical pig.

dapotemi:
Hey, look at someone talking about being CIVIL....not even an insult of any kind to you...Then 48 hour after you're talking about civility. Ori e ti baje.

Pearl1910:
What is ur point Sir?

He should collect less considering his rental?
Or
He should tell partner that this week he has hammer so he will pay 100k in rent?

I think the solution to this whole debacle is sign a contract of rental fee based on percentage of what driver makes weekly.
If he makes less, ur loss. If he makes more, ur gain.

And why not just ask ur driver, if u have one to be paying you a certain amount u choose and allow us to rest here..

Crvrider:
There's nothing to laugh about except you're laughing at your image in the mirror. I ain't talking about the percentage, I am talking about the fact that you pay more because you earn more.

OkuFaba:
78 matches and 3 goals

Ayam not impressed at all

Crvrider:
And is it out of place for the landlord to ask for more? With regards to tax you pay according to company revenue. As staffs of an organization you all don't pay equal amounts.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Lol

I don't even want an app sef. That's too expensive. And I don't think Lagos state government can displace those guys oh.

I just need to carve my own path in the transport sector. Something clear and distinct

Building the app is the last step. The idea is the hurdle[/color]

dapotemi:
Deadbeat biz men!! LOL ...You will still use you second moniker to apologies....as you always do.

I will advice you son, stop using your business handle to throw insult...you will go hungry! Are you not the one that got married just yesterday? You're still a boy and you need to get focus.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Abeg let this partner rent and all that die.

I'm thinking of how to do something differently in the ehailing sector.

I need to hammer like Bolt and Uber [/color]

dapotemi:
LOL, we no dey see all this boldness when coming to BEG for a car....one that is old enough to be my father was almost prostrating for me the other day...I will tell you a yoruba adage; Ti aja ba jeun yo tan.........
You guys keep using "shop" in your analysis; as if a landlord gives out his key to his house/shop without first getting paid!
Me, am only hoping that i will be paid! A shop owner does not hope!

Godfather10:
The average of a hard working driver for a day is between 20k and 25k, for lazy drivers like Felicity l can say btw 10K to 15k everyday, so he will need 3days
To make what a hard working driver will make, in order to be fair to all parties and for the success of the value chain 2/3 days should be dedicated to car owners and 4/5days for drivers, in a nutshell delivery shoud be btw 40/50k weekly so every person on the value chain will be contented, the platforms have set the ball rolling by increasing what drivers earn to keep them happy its only logical that everyone on the value chain should be happy.
From my observations, a lot of UBER drivers in Nigeria are well educated and think logically, not like danfo drivers, UBER driving should be seen as a stepping stone to better things.
For drivers that have big dreams and hope to become successes in life, show your dashboard to encourage others, as to what can be accomplished,
Nov/Dec is the 2m gross period for those hardworking drivers with a plan, and January is the month that you invest the 2m you have saved to generate a new income stream, implement your new business idea,
The choice is stark and simple you are either a Felicity, who talks a lot and accomplishes nothing
Or you are a Kanuisgoat who shares his dashboard and is born to be great, Kanuisgoat has a plan & becos he has a plan and he is not bothered about greeting or such infintesimal nonsense.
The ball is in your court folks.

Godfather10:
Perverted logic, this is the type of evil driver car owners should avoid, its all about me myself and l.
They conveiniently forget that the Oyinbo platforms has sanctioned the increase, this fellow here, thinks small he has no dream of becoming an owner or one day renting his own car,
These are what l call myopic one dimensional thinker, they either progress by cheating others or they can never progress at all,
Its the same problem our nation is facing, cheating ,greed and selfishness
UBER business is a business that can keep all those on the value chain happy, if only we have sense, are hardworking ,fair and have big dreams

spartacus11:
Please can you share a direct link where i can get the list of cars acceptable on the bolt platform

Blackbishop:
Bro why will I buy Corolla when civic or other cheap cars can do it. That is a Businessman Mindset.

People going for corolla at this stage are either ignorant or brainwashed into believing that is the only tool.

Pearl1910:
This is someone that understands d business.
I bought 1 car each in the last 2yrs. Not more than 1.2m As soon as u multiply ur income it's easier to scale. Not going to buy one car for 2.5m and coming to look for who will pay you back in 6months.

Pearl1910:
But you sucked us in when u said "All"

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Dru23 imports his cars by himself, so his landing costs is below 1.5 million. Let's not use him as an example

Sir, can you kindly suggest a car that I can walk into a car stand and pick for less than 1.5 million, that is Uber standard?

Kindly help us sir[/color]

Advision:
You best argument to kicking against 40k ia that you have driven for 6 months. Bro, it holds no water here. I will provide you a basis for my own:

Eatimates:

Corrola 2006 toks: 2.5M
Minor repairs before deplyment: 75k
Total outlay: 2.6M

**Running expense and income

1. 1st year total rental at 25k : 1200k for 12months (because its toks assume near 100% uptime)

2. Servicing every 2 months using the cheapest engine oil, oil filter: 15k per servicing (90k per year)

3. Shock absorber (35k _50k), brake parts, clutch (15-30k), tyres (30k) (twice a year at the least for a well maintained car: total is 210k)

4. Papers & comp. insurance (5%): 175k

5. Miscellaneous: 50k

Net income to partner:1.2M - 100k -210k -175k -50k = 665k

From year 2, I can bet the partner will not see 665k as car maintainance will start shooting up and he will not achieve 100% uptime.

In essence even after 5 years at 25k he may not recover his capital talk less of profit, especially if a discount factor is applied to account for time value of money.

Oh I always do, with evidence. And always will

Its headache enough for you to think that's how they do it.
