If na indrive, na vex, but on Uber, I'll just adjust my seat, grab my phone and read some news😃

If you know, you know

na only this be the advantage I see on Uber oo cos the prices are not actually exceptional unless you are the type that take rubbish prices on indrive to me eh indrive is way more profitable cos I have all the short cut at the back of my palms

Jamie90:
The prices on inDrive in the island is like giving someone a free ride

don't stay within VI in the morning. The only time you will get good trip out of VI is closing hour

High chief, I've seen the problem some people have is comprehension or lack of, I'm probably just gon take a rest...did i EVER state here that 50k daily is not possible? Eh bros? Abi till i show u wer i did 120k in a day and it wasn't remotely close to ember month? You might have confused my advocating for better working condition for the partner driver to what is feasible long term in relation to proper work ethics... If person talk now, una go say bragging.... For fuel, Did you miss where I stated multiple times that I've used a 1.8l engine? And v6 sef? 10k daily saved, as what? Na sand and fuel mixture the car the use na abi? Perhaps you have a vision impediment too? fuel difference is 1.5km/l, i usesd 47k to fill corolla 1.8L, 54k to fill accord, they both return relatively the same figure, sometimes overlapping sef... So the difference lies in tank difference to fill up, not necessarily the usage... I've used full tank on corolla to return only 90k sometimes(typically lasts 2days),sometimes 150k,sometimes 190k....same with accord...there's a lot of variations and discrepancies in returns and i can CONFIDENTLY say, the return difference is NEGLIGIBLE, do you understand what that means? Eh chairman ? 🤦‍♂️ I can't make you comprehend simple arithmetic , if it still confuses you, God help us then. If you use a 1.8L, we can run real life test if you so choose, cheers

Unless you always buy full tank like i do or some other people do, there's no talk to be had. The difference is not night and day as you're painting it.... AT LEAST FROM MY TESTING, MONEY WEY ADEY SEE WITH 1.8, DIFFERENCE NO MUCH. I'll choose a cheaper to maintain(parts) car than 1.8L car... I know how much dem car parts be, and them no go even beg you.

It ALL DEPENDS ON THE QUALITY OF TRIPS YOU ACCEPT. 2.4l oh 1.8l oh.... Good day is a good day on both engine size, bad day na bad day.... That is my experience.

so if you've grossed 120k in just one day before im your own word, then you think advocating for 40-50k delivery make sense to you uh?

Pearl1910:
Sorry for your financial setback but Upon all ur packaging, dressing tight and Lekki clients u aren't making 50k daily?
U should stop making noise, u are disturbing d group. U remind me of Bazzo.
U moved from Muscle to EOD so u can't relate when someone is telling u not more than 1.8litre engine is d ideal maximum. 2.4 litre engine is not advisable with the ridiculous prices. Except u are considering adding CNG.
How can u call 10k daily negligible. That's 60k a week already. If someone using Corolla buys fuel 30k to make 120k, EOD or Muscle will use minimum 40k fuel to do the same mileage.
U make a good and valid point of cheap purchasing price and cheap engine and gear but that's like ones in 4yrs or 5yrs. Compared to what u buy everyday. I think I will take a more expensive car with better gas mileage to a cheap car with higher mileage.
Do d calculations urself 10k daily for 1yr is how much?
The biggest cost item in this business is fuel, if u can half the cost of running ur car, u are king.

Having said that, OP should go for the cheapest possible car with the best fuel consumption. He can buy EOD and put CNG. Or consider d various mini cars that are cheap and fuel economical.
Personally I would say he should put CNG in his Lexus rather than buy another cheap car that he may regret.

the cost of part for that Lexus too is not good enough if he will go for my advice. Go and get crv 2010 then convert to CNG trust me people will love your car just like the Lexus and the cost of part won't kill also you will get higher ground clearance for all this water prone lekki that come with juicy price

Adaba0803:
Yes it's a 1.8l engine 4plugs but how durable for the job if it's easy to maintain especially the electrical aspect of it is what I'll like to know.

I think Felicity can give you more advice on this

Why is this guy given the vibe of someone we use to know here.....who make mouth pass any other thing

Kumuyiii:
May God continue to help you, the only thing you said of note here is that ur car is sound... Me wey dey talk in favor of the driver dey talk as i no know the condition of the car, and if it's anything short of mad sound, the amount wey una dey mention for weekly delivery go hard.... I'm not one for cho cho cho, if i get energy to work morning till night, if i post my dashboard here, hm.... But as someone with a car behaving funny, i know how edey be.... But if car overly sound... 50k a week is okay.... Driver too has a life to live... No be ur boy boy, so becus you buy car 6m,make he die put so you can recover ur money? My friend make una go find another business do..... The hypocrisy.... But if landlord put high with the excuse of recovery his money, una go begin shout, 'must you recover it in 2 yrs'.... E reach landlord turn, you suddenly know investment takes time to pay off....obi cubana sef no dey pay that kind return... And the one he's even paying, he'll collect the vehicle at the end of the day.... Driver got bills to pay, gas ball etc... So if he serve you finish, make he drive unto death to see something for himself? We're the abusers we hate.... I know my capability of driving and what is healthy, i don't expect anyone to go above for me, becus of selfish interest, na why some of dem dey sleep for steering... Wicked ogas, you buy motor 6m so what? Go put am for land na or treasury like the guy talk.... Someone accepting ur offer doesn't make it good, people are desperate, if you put ur card for 100k a week, person go still collect am, desperation is driving a lot of folks, doesn't mean you should short change them, working should improve the workers life, not only the oga.

you are beyond redemption bro. Na una go make private investor commot for this industry and then the big companies will come in and the same high rental value you don't want to pay, you will then pay it anyway

Adaba0803:
Good day everyone...Pls I need advice on this vehicle for this job MB c180 kompressor from experience user of the vehicle. Thanks.

I heard it's good too though I don't have any personal experience with it. But one guy use to use it on this platform, it has a 1.8l engine too

Moroccoguy:
I believe if they show you the one from Zafara you will bleed 🩸🩸🩸

zamfara killings is not due to religion it's for resources control 2 different things

Obedibombedi:
There's no friendship in business.

If my driver-partner makes x2 more due to market realities, I should also request x2 more.
Rental agreement should be flexible.

LAGRIDE electric drivers pay 100k daily after an initial deposit of 1.2M, total package of 35M.

Again, there's no friendship in business.

wow that's crazy

givedemwotowoto:
Again, what you're describing is the more recent insecurity Nigeria is facing, and that's what you're cunningly trying to mix up with the genocide.

The genocide we' re referring to has been ongoing for decades in Nigeria. They don't rob and kill anyone, they target communities specifically, Christians to be precise. They murder and burn their properties and expel them. They don't kidnap them and ask for ransom, they wipe them out including pregnant women and expel the survivors from their communities. Sometimes they use knives and open the wombs of pregnant women and murder them and their babies. Bandits and kidnappers don't do these. Stop fooling yourself.

don't mind those people fooling themselves, the pattern is even different this Fulani militias massacre Christian the atrocities they commit in Christian community is not just killing them with guns but in a inhumane way, sometimes behead them, slaughtering Christians like animals. And I can say categorically that more Christians has been killed over the years than Muslim. Is it southern kaduna killings that has been on for years or the one happening in plateau and middle belt right now talk of benue, edo and the Christian part of kwara. This people are just trying to downplay what is happening and I refused to be fooled

Looks like a SUV form of Honda Accord

Jegheter:
Funny enough indrive is more profitable than bolt. Uber is the best but bolt is a scam unless is bolt comfort or surge

See this trip I did below right after indrive trip that grossed 15k and 13500k net bolt even longer km 45km yet 9500net but see how much they took as commission.

Bolt na scam bro

haaa this one weak me oo, in fact I am speechless

Kumuyiii:
I feel you bro, no single traffic.... But 50km for 15k?😫 That's wild fam. I've learned that slow and steady wins the race, I'll rather wait(with engine off, saving fuel) than be 'active'.... Most time i do 5 to 7km for 5k,but the time i do that 50km eh, omo 15k ke.... Na slave work oh... But all man and him pattern sha, may GOd bless you

most people don't know they are losing a lot on indrive long trips, cos it rarely make sense long trips are for Uber bolt for me while short trips are for indrive that's how I grind oo

GentryAkinyemi:
Thanks for the feedback, but it was soft before the repair. Thats why i am confused. Is there a way to confirm the pump still has high pressure?

take it to those people that fix it

GentryAkinyemi:
Hello guyz, i have a Honda Accord 2006 power steering issue. So a leak was detected last week but power steering was soft, so the rack was fixed at Oyingbo. Abro ATF was used. However to my surprise after the fix, now the steering is kinda hard and not as soft as it was befr. The rpm still increases on turn when the gear is on D and on air conditioner so its not that the rpm is too low. Is it that the rack is permanently damaged and only way is to get a Tokumbo rack ? Or what can i do. Thanks

the steering rack leaking use to affect the pump so most times ones the rack Is fixed the pump might not have enough pressure again to give it the right softness you want. If you are sure that the rack has been perfectly fixed and it is not leaking again then let them try service the pump for you, you might be lucky and it will work if not just change the pump don't let them fix the pump for you oo because it is not gauranteed

Kumuyiii:
Oyingbo is overrated

well it's not if you know your way around

Kpoksie01:
Please guys, I need a "Hyundai" mechanic. Mechanic that specialises in Hyundai cars basically. Anyone with a trusted and tested plug should help a brother out, E joor.

I use a 2014 Hyundai Accent 1.6ltr engine car strictly for this e-hailing biz. Bought Nigerian used and e get mileage like 100km plus. But has great body and engine sound and works great. The issue is, it's vibrating most especially when the AC is on. I have changed plugs, coil, 2 out of 3 engine seat. My mechanic and rewire have checked and I have scanned it, nothing is showing. The compressor has been checked and serviced at Olowu in Ikeja also.

I just have this feeling that something is off. My 012 Toyota Camry never gives me cause for concern like this. I am having PTSD over this car like this 😞

I don't think anything is really wrong with your car, all those small engine car use to have that issue when there engine is not too sharp again. They usually find it hard to maintain balance when the AC is on. Also check online if that issue is peculiar with that model year and find out what people does to fix it

ebiye55:
I really don't know. I use mini comprehensive and it's my personal car

How will they know if I use the car for ehailing IF I have a claim?

that's what I don't really know if they can find that out if one has a claim

haykay2005:
Am far from that place. Beside, its better if you have an insider to assist in navigating oyingbo.i stay in Abule Egba. Closer to ladipo.
Any good mechanic in oyingbo? If am visiting a mechanic in there, I will take the pain to visit and fix once and for all

about the fuel consumption thingy na rewire you need not mechanic, reach out to this guy 08082676405. His nickname na talubi

haykay2005:
Can anyone recommend a good modern mechanic for me around ogba/ikeja... Pls I don't want kazeem. My car dey chop fuel and I need to fix everything on this ride before I proceed with this uber thing. 2006 honda civic.
Someone that can run advanced diagnostics

my best advice for you is to enter oyigbo. There is nothing that can be wrong with your car that they won't fix, and you will even get the part cheaper there.

ReadaDream:
You don't have to tell them you are using the car for ehailing.. even the fully comprehensive plan don't support ehailers..

oh, thank you. Which one are you using right now?

ebiye55:
There is mini comprehensive

do they allow all those mini comprehensive for Uber people, I thought they are for private car owners, cause the full comprehensive go far small oo now that naira does not make sense again
