How long do you have to wait after inspection to start flying high again....bolt blocked me cause of inspection but I have done it today

stacyadams:
....with this fifteen things u write,no go enter task force hand make them no add mo wahala to u

Na night work you dey do? Cos na mostly for night me I dey notice am

Glithronix:
How can bolt be giving person pikin a trip that the rider is far away that you'll have to drive 12-15 mins to the rider's PUP
Like that's not enough - you accepted the order, started driving to rider's point and when are almost there, the rider go just cancel straight.
After wasting fuel and airtime, cos I always call these people myself.
Again, like that's not enough - drivers scores still suffer am and drop.
Why FGS?
Bolt, Why?

They will still give you a far pick up especially night work.

donbrowser:
Set your pick up distance to 2km or 3km max.

Good morning bossess, just want to share my few days experience of driving with bolt..
1. My leg is paining me especially my right leg
2. I missed my 25000 bonus
3. Police problem
4. Google map and bolt map sometimes dey misbehave
5. Temptation to spend
6. Transfer I no see
7. Sleep I miss
8. My body is stressed
9. Long journey no rider to bring back so fuel waisting(inside inside ikorodu they Sha paid me 10k)
10. My leg is still paining

15. That's all for now....
Thank you

I have started using it

dlex21:
Same here. Have you started using it or you still want to do inspection?

I was bounced yesterday cos I have to paint the car.

But bolt keeps sending me messages that my document has been approved

Good day bosses...please where is the nearest Uber inspection in constain area..ebutte meta

Good day bosses .. it's like I don't need to do inspection Abi me I don't understand....because my profile has been created on bolt after logging on....I can see go online....shey make i on am?

Good morning bosses ...I don reach inspection place...they bounce me...the guy said they have to paint the front and back bumper and also seat cover for front sit plus 1500....me I don dey go back...

Does inspection come first before registering on bolt/Uber app?...cause am still waiting for car papers to come..

peeps4u:
Having a car of your own, you're about 80% ready.

Go for inspection at accredited bolt and uber centres.
Get your road worthiness ready.
Register online with uber and bolt and updatr all necessary docs as requested.

Once your account(s) is/are ready;
1. Avoid one way; always ask people around to be sure of one way if you observe cars are parked facing a particular direction on a road or cars are only coming from a direction.

2. Make it a habit to ask your rider if he/she has a preferred route or you follow a Gmap before starting your trip, dont be shy to say you're a newbie, it saves you from stress as long as the rider agrees you use the Gmap, he has technically agreed to the fare after the trip, there will be no issue like "driver dubiously takes me through a long route to increase fare".

3. To be on a safe side, if you take an airport trip, don't bother to take any trip back from airport, leave as soon as you drop your rider, even if your car is giving funny sound, leave the airport premises before you stop. There are airport WANDERERS who will arrest you if you wait a second. Once you leave airport, you can always drive into Ikeja GRA and wait for trips (that is my most peaceful area to park in ikeja, no Lastma harassment). If you want to pick trips from airport, go to park and pay for parking while waiting for trips.

4. You dont need to be unnecessarily chatty with riders, be as professional and accomodating as you can. Simple "good afternoon/morning/evening" when rider steps in is okay and face your steering. Don't fight it if rider replies or not. However, you may cancel the trip if your intuition says so. You may also bid a rider a good bye with "thanks and have a nice day/night" if you want. These things are naturally my habits though

5. Don't asslick rider's ass because you're looking for mysterious helpers through uber, that might make you work like goats for no pay because of help expectation from riders.
what will be will be.

6. Dress well and be neat to command respect and even boosts your self esteem and confidence that you wont be afraid to confront any rider or shy to enter any environment with your dressing. Not necessarily, but I'm always on pairs of jeans/chinos with shirts/vest and shoes (simple), you can't catch me looking dirty/unkempt and riders don't address me anyhow.

7. Eat well and take care of yourself.

8. Be careful of bank transfer payment, insist on card or cash, if you're to accept bank transfer, before accepting, tell the rider he/she will not leave the car until you get your credit alert. Also, you may use your discretion here as to let the rider leave or not.

9. If uber still does 3% commission after 20 trips or so, Ikeja GRA at evening/night is one of the places to get quick/successive short trips to quickly increase number of trips.

You will learn more on the job.

Ogas patapata will add or substract to/from what I've said so far

Good luck.

Thanks...will go for inspection with the dents....fingers crossed

Gentlelife50:
It depends on how pronounced the dents are, my car with dents passed inspections twice until the last one this December I had no options than to flash the affected areas.
My friend's car also passed, he was worried at first until I told him to go that it will pass since it's tokunbo which he did and it passed.

Corolla(from Taiwan)....before buying the car I was told it was 05 but on the seat belt it's showing 01....am I in trouble?

morax101:
That is a big problem, engine no can be overlooked but not VIN, what type of car is this?

It's new...the guy said he is coming to check for the Vin himself cause me I didn't see it ..and another question the car has some dents(plenty small) at the front and at the back too ...a driver saw it and said bolt might reject it ..me I don't have money for that now...can I be using first and then later paint cause on roads I see plenty dents on cars been used for ehailing

Pearl1910:
I laff In Spanish...how will u do car papers without VIN. Can u do an ID card without passport photo or name ?

Or was it a renewal?

Good day bosses...how today kitikiti?...went to do car papers today and I couldn't find the Vin and I was adviced to write nil...I hope that won't be a problem?
