Following too

For a vehicle to be eligible for Uber in Nigeria, it must meet the following standards:

UberX & UberBlack vehicles must be sedan (no hatches accepted)

Vehicles must be 2008 or newer

Mileage should be a maximum of 100,000KMs when being put onto the Uber system

All vehicles require a working radio and air conditioner (electric windows preferable)

Vehicles must have a minimum of 1750mm width
No full-size (15 passenger) vans, Lincoln Towncars, Mercury Grand Marquis, or Ford Crown Victorias

No salvage vehicles. Must have a clean title.

To qualify for Uber, vehicle must have seat belts for all passengers including the driver.

Vehicles will remain on the Uber system unless complaints from riders about quality occur sooner

Only one driver per account, meaning the person driving the car is the one named on the account.

All drivers must go through a full background check initiated by UBER.

Driver must have a driver's license and lagos state driver's institute card.

Uber Nigeria reserves the right to refuse a vehicle that meets the above criteria, or accept a vehicle that does not meet the above criteria, as well as modify this criteria without notice.

I'm into cab Business. But I'm not an Uber partner.

The requirements are quite high. Below 100k mileage. Not older than 2008 model etc.
With this the barriers to entry is high. They are basically asking for brand new cars.

I don't know much about the weekly or monthly income but I'm sure the drivers /partners make money. And NOTE that The business generally is lucrative. With or without Uber.

For potential investors /partners don't forget that you are still ultimately responsible for the actions of the driver.

Now where are the partners o?

Come share your experience.

Wow.

Good

All is set

I believe the purpose of this thread is to share knowledge and educate people . Keeping it between yourselves won't help would it?

This is interesting. I have shared knowledge openly since the beginning of this thread. In fact, you are a major beneficiary. I have answered all your questions and even offered to share extra tips and idea.

First if you read through you will notice that someone made a request for my email address. And I gladly gave it out.

I hope you are not accusing me of hoarding knowledge? That will be very unfair coming from YOU a major beneficiary.

Now let me state clearly that peculiar cases call for peculiar solutions. I have received mails from people who just lost their jobs and they wish to start Danfo business. I'm sure you don't expect people to write such personal details here in an open forum.

There is also a humanitarian side

olujaidi:
This would defeat the purpose of this thread

And how will my email address defeat the purpose of the thread?

Maybe I should start a series on how to succeed in car hire/cab business. What do you think?

olujaidi:
Abeg, do you have a sample of the Uber operator agreement? I'd like to peruse so I know what i'm getting into

Many thanks

I don't have. I'm sure you can get that if you google uber Lagos.
These are some uber conditions I know :
1. The car should be below 100,000 miles
2. The car should not be older than 7years old and many more.

In my opinion as a cab /transport operator for over 2years. There is nothing special about Uber.

Fine it's good to sign up and they supply clients but if you build up your client base gradually, you will be just fine.

Do you know that Uber prices are cheap and that's not good for you because as a business man you should maximize your earnings.
Let me give you an example.
A ride from Ikoyi to Idimu in Lagos via Uber is N4,500. Idumu is prone to traffic so you may spend more on fuel. Maybe 1,500 to 2k.

However I will never go below 6,000 for such trip.

@MrSage, Pls can you share tips with me on how to do the Car Hire Business without partnering with these NURTW guys? I tried registering in their park, even after paying the agreed fee they don't allow "newbies" to pick passengers they tell you "Na Chairman Client". I tried looking for passengers on my own its a bit impossible @ most I get 2 jobs in a week.
I now had to resort to doing Kabukabu btw Iyana Oba to Seme route that is another tale entirely.

Pls I do I get client on my own for car hire business? Or in your opinion is their any other state that is more lucrative than lagos in terms Car transportation Business? Its my vehicle and I intend driving it myself.

If you are young and creative don't ever join those old men at the taxi park.
I will teach you what to do.
Business now has gone beyond sitting in one spot to wait for clients. That's old.

You should devise a means for people to know you. Imagine a situation where 5,000 lagosians have your phone number stored and they are ready to call you whenever they need a cab.

There is a complete need for re orientation in the Cab Business.

Educative

semasir:
Ghat one but no Lagos bound or that specific target but a general one

Okay. I can consider this too

funso77:
Op, let's leave the maintenance, insurance and other costs aside, which makes more money or rather is more profitable judging from your experience in the sector, interstate or intrastate passenger transportation using a car as an example, not d typical buses

Tough question. In my opinion it's difficult to tell.

The tree with the shape of an elephant. One of the amazing sites to behold.

I need this for a research project I'm working on.
Email addresses of working class individuals in Lagos.
If you have kindly call 08024130609 or drop a comment here.

Thank you in advance.....
