So Uber drivers, tell us your experience on day(s) your village people came for you. Lol

They came for me today. Am not a regular uber driver, just uses my Accord which by the way guzzes fuel. I needed some quick cash and targeted 10k but I forgot I was owing Uber 4k in commissions.
So this morning I took one small jambite from alapere to Adeniyi Jones, a distance of 9km.
As soon as we set out, Ambode come block alapere market square, so we had to find alternative routes to join Lagos Ibadan expressway till Uber app come confuse patapata. On top of that my phone started overheating and went off.
Now the small boy was so conscious of how much he will be charged, he brought out his Google map and kept directing me, at a point, I wanted to stop and ask for directions and he complained I was wasting time, so I played along with him, meanwhile Uber kept trying to reroute us. My Samsung note 4 phone finally went off due to overheat (for the first time). By the time we got there he wanted me to end the call instantly but phone was dead and dude was agitated. Eventually I had to drive him back some distance because he didn't get his address correct.
I felt for him and his brother at home who was pay as he kept calling to know if we had arrived. I had to remove my battery and convince him that the trip had ended and drove off. I went a pole away and kept recharging me phone for about 7mins before it came up and I ended the trip, surprisingly it was 3k. I checked distance and it was just 9km. I knew I was getting a bad rating so I equally rated him 3. Instantly I saw 3 uber messages about my driving, professionalism etc and I knew he was the one. I for give am 1 star self.
From there, my village people come again, throughout today my phone kept misbehaving and shutting down often. So from Adeniyi Jones I went to Airport to see if I fit chop surge, but before I arrived, surge don disappear and I was number 16. I packed somewhere and people came to warn me that my village people are sending toll vehicles and I ran away, drove round and came back, trolled round and left after 45mins. Riders no just show, phone too was messing up. So I drove to Iyana oworo hoping to pick up few people to Lekki, but my village people carry Aja people full ground and they no gree enter, me ma no go drive go Ajah, so I drove to Awolowo road and my phone still kept acting up. Finally I put on my Taxify and I saw a surge near ribadu and as I was heading there, a call came but my VgP made her cancel. Another Taxify ride came from Bourdillon and as I was heading there, my VgP come knock me and one SUV and all hell was let loose. The guy drag drag and even the police there vex and ordered us away, na so I take loose that ride. We drag the matter for more than 30 minutes along Bourdillon before the guy let me go as me ma de form say I get insurance. I told him to bring his oga car (brake fluid removed the scratch anyway) to my insurance company for assessment before he left as he see say the 5k he was asking for won't materialise. By this time it was 7:05pm.
Anyway God pass my VgP, I got a ride to Ikeja, smooth ride and fast, road was free. From there I got a short ride of 600naira instantly and another Uber ride to omole phase1. They come de pay card trips, na so son of man carry empty hands come back, plus wasted fuel. The street is hard mehn.
BTW Taxify sweet pass Uber, how I wish I get more Taxify

I no believe in Village people o, but we got give them the glory some days

rotormast:

Took a white guy from Ikoyi to international airport this morning on a 1.7boost. His fare was 3,300, he gave me £20 + $5, promised to hit me up when he’s back. I drove to the airport car park and I slept till 2:30pm then I went online, I got a request and the person canceled, I checked her destination it was VI , sweet market. I called her till she answered and she wanted to deliver something. I billed her 15k and am done for the day. Just 2 trips! God is Good

It's over attainable... It's all about work ethics.

you done fall my hand. Thank you sir

debeo:
Your response clearly signifies you don't have experience.

This is what I mean.

Under rental, you only take care of minor repairs or even no repairs at all like in my own case. I like doing all repairs myself to ensure quality


Under HP, everything is on you driver, everything for at least 18 months. Suspension, ac, linkage, and maybe engine (if unlucky).

To survive you need to save at 8 to 10k weekly to cover for any expenses minus regular service.

You need to pay rentals, maybe 35k

Fuel 10 to 15k weekly (depends on the car)

You will eat, your family, extended, mistresses and concubines.

Under HP the minimum amount you should make weekly is 100k to be comfortable.


To make a consistent 100k weekly is not by reading the advice by gurus here.

Everyone knows theory is way different from practical.

Like they will always say, experience is the best teacher.

I still stand by my earlier assertion : DRIVING UNDER HP ARRANGEMENT FOR A NEW DRIVER W/O E-HAILING EXPERIENCE IS SUICIDAL.

daamazing:
that's all you need to charm them

Uber said we should be putting on corporate, I just laugh at that coz they don’t know how hot Nigeria is, me I put on polo coz that’s what I feel comfortable on, while driving . Still on 4.7 on Uber, I can’t go wrong with my sharp ride.

slamstanlee:
This trip taking me to ogudu from vi
Na to just close go sleep. Fire down 2moro. I should be around 12-13k after this...

dru23:
Out of the 300 how many are good cars? How many are full timers ? Keep in mind rating helps to reduce a lot of cars on their road too. Without rating I think the market might be saturated. So factor in all these points . And for sure it is only the platform that can certainly say if the market is crowded or not. Because they have all data at their fingers tips. We can guess, but I prefer facts

baxton25:

paroh137:
What really causes this thing? I'm curious. The app itself, or faulty GPS, or nonrecommended phone?

julietromeo:
Taxify artificial surge. Im in a surge zone without any request for more than an hour.

Saw this surge, when I got to Ojodu, it was very red at shoprite side on getting there it cleared, I saw it at ibis hotel Aremo, I zoomed off again to that place, got there it disappeared totally I wan course dem, I just waste fuel sha

slamstanlee:
only one request on my taxify app today. N600. But uber request has been back to back, traffic didn't allow me flow. i manage to get 13k and 1500 offline trip. Unlike yesterday back to back requests on taxify and few from uber.

ridwanadedapo:
One thing I can’t stand about a lot of people on UBER ratings . Not everybody but a lot. They rate you how they feel. They feel good the rate you good. They feeling bad and guess how they’re going to rate you... just too bad

Yes you are totally right, yesterday I carried a rider from magodo and we headed to ikate, during the trip I noticed she was frowning and mute, I told her if she like she can play music with her phone if she doesn’t like the station sound city fm, also I offered her mentos original gum I usually buy at shoprite, she rejected and said she just want to get to her destination that’s what she’s concerned about, so I said okey and continued my trip without a word again, on getting to ikoyi bridge she said I should turn back and take her back to magodo, it’s like what she was going for has been canceled, she frowned more and grumbled that now she’s wasting money up and down. We got to Magodo I ended the trip and showed her the fare, she said ok and wanted to leave my car without paying me, I called her back and told her it was a cash, she said no it’s card so I showed her from my phone, so she couldn’t argue than to give me the cash, she did a transfer to me I thanked her, she didn’t even respond, so I left, few minutes later I checked my rating it dropped immediately. she’s putting her bad day on me. Before some will come Nd say shit, my car is very very neat and sound without any sound, also I have 3 different air fresheners and my ac it’s as cold as a freezer, I use Honda and it’s a personal car so I don’t joke with it.

slamstanlee:
My second rider today was like: wait lemme rate u well before i get down. 5 star+ excellent service badge. Funnily i didn't even like him when he entered the car at first, plus i wasn't ok with the card trip that early hour. He got my 5star too. Lol

IWealthCreator:
How does asking destination solve the problem... the killers can easily give a false destination or change their destination upon entering your vehicle.
Taxify and uber should subject riders to the same measure of checks drivers/partners are subjected to.

Steflon:
yeah. it’s on my app. I guess is for safety and security reasons as a result of what happened, killing of Taxify driver. Pray before you go to work. Gods protection is very important.

stacyadams:

omonla10:
most of them are yahoo Boyz.. I had to leave my 3k with them after 3 weeks constantly calling them.. Always waiting for alert.. Person wey get mind to scam white man millions, how e go ever think of karma..

eedris03:
To whom it may concern, please kindly be careful at airport axis as no waiting,no stopping, no packing is everywhere there without a sign post. if you even wait to check or pick a call in your car..your car will be toll and if you beg from 7am till 10pm you will still pay[b] N5,500 if they drive it to their office [/b]and if they toll it you pay N10,500. they are demon and we guys should avoid there or just pay and enter their car park max N500

goldentee:
And what exactly is wrong with that? Kindly ignore my post if you've got nothing reasonable to contribute.
