It's tips ur render to ur riders after service, either by cash or kindness for the sake of humanity... for example, if u go to madam Rad place now to fix a car and when they r done bringing ur car back to life, they may choose to help u clean your dashboard, guage ur tyres (by first pressing it, to check the softness) or insect injector cleaner into ur fuel tank just to make sure ur fuel supply is adequate without any clog, resistant or entanglement. You didn't pay for such service, but a way to keep you satisfy and happy for service rendered. Please is that a bad thing? Is that not one of the best way to keep ur customers to keep reaching out to you, when they need ur service? Customer satisfaction can never b underestimated, do all you can in ur little way to make sure that ur final consumer enjoy your service. Then and only then can we say sevice rended is at optimal.

With a befitting price, drivers will grab it in no time. HP doesn't have to be 3 million+ , if the previous driver has paid up to 1.5m out of the initial 3m+ , owner can spend out of it to put the car back in shape and put it back on HP at a price below 2m

I am aware why he is apologising, and no matter how you defend him, it is very wrong calling someone old enough to be your father names. Almost everyone, including celebs were united in calling him out on that.

Social media seems to have made people lose their sense of right and wrong. I am happy Freeze was dragged and I look forward to more of that in future.

Ordinary "bastard" that they called him, and he started bleating up and down the internet

Learn to understand how the Map works. You can start now. When you take a bike or a bus, use the map and see how it directs you

The app in itself is straightforward. The challenge in the job is mostly how to drive and survive here. So you need to be smart...very smart angry

Do not park anyhow in Lagos. If you aren't sure about anywhere, ask people around. Don't make U-turns anyhow...Be very observant. grin

Obey traffic laws, signs and lights even if it's 12 midnight. Remember, all traffic personnels are out there to eat you...So protect your pocket with all thy might

Do not drag lanes with other road users,...at least not all the time. Learn to protect your car from scratches. undecided

Learn to make friends with other drivers. Whenever you get to a gathering of the brethren, make friends. You'll be surprised how much you can learn from them in a short while cool

Also, when you go to your mechanic for a repair or anything, don't just drop the car and walk away. Observe what he's doing. With the right tools, you'll be able to repair that fault again and save money.

Learn to carry out minor repairs on your cars... little repairs like changing serpentine belt, brake pads can be done by you. Get the right spanners and you'll be fine. You can get spares of these items in your trunk.. Brake pads are about 1k to 2k... Serpentine belt is not up to 1k

Sincerely, you'll be fine...Above all, pray to God oh..Na only am fit help us smiley[/color]

[color=royalblue]HP is synonymous with rentals. The only difference is that you bear the cost of repairs and maintenance in HP

As a newbie, you'll struggle and make mistakes, but just be patient and learn fast. You'll be fine.

Remember, the reward is the car. So don't be discouraged if you pay your rent any week and you have nothing on you.

I don't know what the car will cost, so I can't advice how much rent is okay...

[color=royalblue]You really need to consider the principal and interest involved, and also the repayment period

An 09 corolla would definitely cost more, and take longer to complete the payment.

An 05 corolla would cost lesser and faster to repay.

odimbannamdi:
I have been reading your posts, and i am very impressed at your thoughtfulness, sir. I really love the perspective you are bringing to this Rental-HP comparison.

I have been a fan of HP, but from your contributions, i think i have been looking at it from the angle of the owner-partner and situation of the car alone. The driver-partner deserves some consideration as well, just like you have said.

I think a middle ground should be preached instead. Driver contracts with owner on a rental basis, but with the possibility of ownership of car through HP if he is consistent with payment remittances.

As much as the e-hailing venture could be thought of as a transient hustle for most people at the onset, but time flies and sometimes things dont go as planned. So, a middle ground arrangement could be useful in helping the driver move on if his other plans click or acquire the car if things dont go according to plan. Either way, it is a win-win for both parties.

What do you guys think? I am really learning here.
[color=royalblue]When a driver decides to discontinue a HP contract, it is not really a Win situation for the partner

Most drivers would prefer a Tokunboh for HP because it has not been abused yet. If a driver breaches his HP contract, who will take the car on HP again?

So most likely, the partner may begin to lose.

Anybody going into HP should be ready to faithful to the last. If you quit, you have left the partner in the middle of the sea.

If I were looking for a car, I’d prefer HP. The only downside is having to pay twice the price. At 1.5x a reasonable car price, I think HP is indeed a better option.

Bro it is what it is, business.

Incase you want to know I'm currently renting the car at N25k weekly for 2weeks now and we are doing great while working on something else.

Don't hate a man because he speaks his mind eloquently

Good morning, thank God it's Friday.
[color=royalblue]Incase I want to know?

You reveal so much about who you really are only by typing. You are not the discreet type, always trying to throw shades at others that don't agree with you, or even your ex partners.

Before Dru, you had a partner here and you came here to tell us how she collected her car from you too.

Now you come again to say, you don't care about your partner (third party). Its just you and yourself..

Sincerely bro, I don't care if you pay 2000 every month as rentals. It's God's blessings for you

By the grace of God too, I will never collect a car for rental in my life too. I've passed this hustle and I've moved on to better things.

After the car is eventually yours,Do you know you can still drive it for like 6 months to raise more funds and decide to sell. Add the money together and get yourself another toks?
And if your are not willing to continue with the business anylonger, then you have fund to invest in another biz.
Just as jpworld earlier said; hp deal is good if you have a working class spouse to survive it.
The two drivers i earlier mentioned's wife has a good job and owned a food store respectively.
[color=royalblue]I think I am being misunderstood.

I am not saying HP is bad. All I'm saying is that everybody should know his/her life plan before deciding to drive for two years.

I have plans for my life, and driving 6 days a week for the next two years, just to own a car (18 year old) is not in it. If Abakaliki boys have that planned out, it's fine. In all, we all pray to be successful and not a nuisance to the society.

People advice people to take HP over rentals, and I see it as wrong.

Let the person evaluate his life, and see if he can dedicate such period for it. If not, take rentals and walk away whenever you want.

That's my point[/color]

I've a philosophy that belives, "the human being is a sojourner on earth that goes according to the directions the winds blows him.

If you can remember there was a guy that seek advise here on this thread some times back on how he signed up for HP after graduation and just about 9months without any default he got a job which his 3months salary put together can buy him the said HP car? You remember that guy righthuh (I've looked forward to hearing frim that guy to know how he later handled that issue).

Now, the point is, most opportunities come to only the prepared minds and some opportunity comes, but, once in a life time. So it why one should always try as must as possible to always get prepared and then make every time count.

Its no once plan to fail but when it happens you take it in good faith. And if it enters good.


This is a sentiment I would never ever make mistake to be a part of again, my decisions would be best for me and my family before I can consider a third party simple!

The last time I tried to save a drowning scorpion I was stung twice that I almost drown.

By next month this thread will be 5years old.i see drivers that will remain uber driver in the next 5years without owning a car.

That 18years old car as you people call it, doesn't come easy, it comes with almost 2millions naira, that might build 2 bedroom Bungalow in your village.

Youth of these days want easy money, even if you have oil and gas dreams, million dollar contract, at the moment wat u r presently doing or surviving with is uber, if it takes 2years to sacrifice to own the car, battle it fir 2years.

If it requires u sending ur wife back to the village, and share a room with ur friend to pay up the car, do it, you must get out of ur comfort zone to succeed in life.

When u type, ur fellow uber drivers will sing ur praise, oil dey ur head, biscuit full ur brain.

Meanwhile abakaliki boys are completing their hp deal and moving on
[color=royalblue] Firstly, nowhere did I talk anyone out of HP, neither did I say the 2 million is a chicken change. I only wanted the intending driver to be sure.

And as for the 18-year old criteria, that's entirely my own opinion...and yes, I CANNOT TAKE A CAR THAT OLD, DRIVE IT CONSECUTIVELY FOR TWO YEARS, AND THEN IT BECOMES MY OWN...I CAN'T

It has nothing to do with quick money. I also consider what's left of the car and it's expectancy in the long run.

We have seen two drivers here complain of how their HP cars have started giving them issues, and they have not owned it yet. It's a no brainer that the car is old already. Then you flog it back to back for two years....What will be left for you in the next two years for you to enjoy. If Uber decides to raise the bar to 2008 cars anytime, what's your fate?

Please, in my own opinion, and not trying to dissuade anyone, it's not a wise business decision for me. I used Uber to survive, changed the hustle, and I'm doing better now.

I hope to be like you one day sir, but it's definitely not by driving on HP cheesy[/color]

What felicity just said is true sincerely.
its not easy to safe money to buy a car thru rental oo. I have lots of friend that have been on rental for years trying and hoping to buy their cars thru savings from rental. Bro, its not easy.
Even getting a loan to buy the car self no easy except you or spouse if married are running a salary account or have a shop. The amount of money you or your spouse earns also determines how much you will be loaned.
[color=royalblue] While I understand him, I feel the advice was trying to put a cart, before the horse.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think there's anyone that wanted to be a taxi driver as a kid. Most of us entered this hustle maybe because of one circumstance or the other

One question I ask people who want to venture into HP is: Do you think you can commit yourself, week in week out, driving back to back for the next two years just to own an 18 year old car?

One must be very sure he needs this, and not saying it is better than rentals

If someone starts a HP plan, and doesn't complete it, he has also distorted the plan of the partner. That car would be difficult to put on HP again

My point is, it depends on the life plan of the driver. If you feel you can drive for two years faithfully, please go on

If you are still skeptical about your life, and you don't have Uber driving as a dream, please opt for rental..

Any is better, depending on the person[/color]
