Sir, let's say you request an Uber or Taxify, and someone shows up in a 2000 baby boy, will you enter?

If one can't rest for just a day, what then is the essence of the whole hustle.

Exactly sir, the hustle has cast; especially for drivers under rentals

samobaba4u:
Advice is needed.

I've bought fuel from Enyo several times, so I know. But biko, try NIPCO one day. Enyo is still in kindergarten

Tapout:
You could have taken pictures of the accident scene to save you from all these unessesary doubts.. The car owner sef no try.

I took pictures. I overtook pictures sef. To him, all those things can be arranged. Na scam, according to him. But there's karma sha.
Let me just say his car dealership is not as it used to be. That's all I will say

There is a better road with less traffic, most of you hate that area cos you only go there thru mile 2, wrong choice!

Na so

franksam2009:
if ehailing can get me 50k per week, I will be so happy dat every rider will get a refreshing drink be4 a trip starts lol

On top of 50k gross? Trust me, you won't even have money for fuel

darmilolah:
Alot is wrong sir.

We all pray to make profit in business.

Time is money.

You might be trap in traffic for hours on lagos badagry exp and its likely rider will leave you in traffic and jump bike as they are used to.

Drivers are so rough in that axis and you might get Lagos colour from bus.

Lastly, the road is terrible. Even your car won't pray for going through the stress of the bad road.

I will rather do lekki street to street than go to anywhere after festac.

Every aboki to his kettle

BillGoldberg:
That's how u guys kill partners cars!!! Ojoo ke? When am not mad.

What's freaking wrong with a ride request to Ojoo? Are some parts of Lekki/Ajah not more terrible than Ojoo? Abeg make we stop all these forming things

stanuplane:
hi guys, please i need your honest opinion and advice. My sister is a sales rep for a pharm company. and the company gave her a 2008 toyota yaris to use for business and most times, that car is just parked at home doing nothing. please, can uber or taxify allow her to signup the company car as a patner so she can make extra income from it. Thanks....

Theoretically, it's possible. The reality is something different. She will end up loosing that job. Trust me.
She shouldn't try it.

Chae:
Infact my taxify no gree bring request since morning, just saw driver didn't respond twice of which I didn't hear d alerted sound. No b small tin o

What network are you using for data?

pope191:
Boss u for tell me say nah lyk dis ooo, where will I get bathroom now, I'll do lekki from here too... I don enter inside Zone 4 energy well, nah to position sleep remain

Roll down your windows and just drive slowly towards Ketu. It will cost you 3 litres of fuel. Hopefully, a ride request will come in before you reach Ketu. Worst case scenario, you will get a request in Ketu area or Maryland. Don't park in one spot in Ikorodu waiting for trip. You might be there for hours.
Toh, I don talk my own

Eberechi24:
No, if it can feed you, then it worth it.

it is not how much you make, it's how resourceful are you? if you can save 1k every day calculate it by one week then calculate in a month. Some civil servants earn less than that amount but they are living

It takes some measure of discipline to be successful. you may not be rich but you can plan your life through it. it solely depends on you.

Some earn million in a month but have nothing to show for it.

be determined, deprived some pleasure and spend according to income. Leave trivial life and plan your life.

Bricklayer work can feed a normal man. Can we say then that it's worth it?
Truth is, ehailing work was designed to be part time side hustle, not full-time work for car owners, talkless of those on rentals. I used to drive averagely 80 hours a week, to have #20,000 to #30,000 for myself at the end of the week. But I had no time for myself, no time for family. The money itself was not as regular. And then car issues to deal with.
The wise car owners are out of the business already. Likewise the wise car drivers.

My opinion, strictly

Stake2odds:
That's relatively low and one would then ask why risk so much to make so little, I want to share this here just for comparison, last year while going thru the business thread, I stumbled on a guy who created a post that he needed a loan of 20k payable in 3 months, as a loan officer with over 18yrs experience in the bank, I got attracted with his sincerity to pay 20k in 3months, some others would have said just one month in other to attract creditors, I opened the thread and read thru it and he said he wanted to start a mobile phone accessories business (mobile as in, he will be using a wheel barrow) I contacted him and after talking to him for abt 30mins, I decided to dash him the money but won't let him know until after a month , next day I Transfered the money to his account, he called to thank me and bla bla bla, after a month he called to know of he could pay part of the money and I said, I'll rather wait until the 3months expires, I obviously wasn't going to take the money from him, time flew and it was the 3rd month, he called again that he has the full money and was ready to give me additional 10k making it 30k , that's when I told him I dashed him the money and I'm very impressed with his honesty and hardwork, for the first time I told him I wanted to meet and discuss with him, I met him two weeks ago and this guy has a perfect record keeping, I went thru the rough book myself and I discovered that on a bad day, removing expenses this guy makes an average of 3k - 5k daily and a minimum profit of 100 naira on anything sold, profit can be as much as 500 to 1k. I told him to come see me if he would like to expand but he declined. That's said, going by the quoted msg, if the uber driver makes the quoted daily, is it then worth the stress and risk of driving round Lagos? Note: I have 6 vehicles, 4hp and two rentals, I've been lucky not to have bad drivers because I'm not greedy and I ensure repairs and services are carried out as at when due. Can someone please give an accurate figure a driver can earn monthly driving on uber. Thanks

A good Uber/Taxify driver (on rentals) earns about #400 per hour worked; for himself/herself, all expenses considered. If the driver is the owner of his/her car, earnings doubles to #800 for every hour worked. This hourly rate earnings reduce at off-peak seasons and increase at peak seasons, but not by much

franksam2009:
it's lucrative na, depending on what you mean by lucrative , 1k times 7(although sometimes it's more than), is 7k per week,, it will be much better if you are a bachelor, u LL be able to save alot

Truth

chidekings:
People have short memories.

When Uber first came out - the drivers had a much bigger split.

It was a part of a deliberate strategy to build the product. Social media companies do this too.

Facebook for a long time, had no ads (or very very minimal).

You build up a product (the user base).

Then you monetize it.

Uber began squeezing down the split. They released a sparkly press release “In order to better serve our riders we must modify our rates blablablabla”

Typical PR nonsense.

Drivers barked. But barks don’t matter.

Uber squeezed again. Another press release.

Drivers barked. But again - barks can’t change their fate.

Mark my words: you will never, ever, ever, get rich driving for Uber.

You might make a decent living, but so long as price competition exists, neither a career as a driver for Uber or Lyft will enable you to retire early and sail into the sunset on your Uber funded Yacht.

Their whole game is precipitated on being cheaper than cabs (and cleaner/nicer of course). But mainly cheaper.

The system will always be engineered for Uber or Lyft to win, not you the driver.

Na so.

#2. Toyota Avensis. After my experience with the first car owner I worked with, I gave ehailing another try with this new car owner. The car was a Toyota Avensis 2005. Direct tokunbo, LOL! Owner did zero checks or repairs on the car, just gave it out for rentals like that. Some of my experiences with it:
a. Noisy suspension system from the word "go". I enter a pothole and the steering wheel jumps upandan inside its cradle. Steering floats left, right freely e.g. I want to do a do a right turn, I must turn steering 270 degrees or more, to achieve the turn.
b. Constant AC or Radio problems. Sometimes, dashboard will just go blank. AC will just be blowing hot air
c. Experienced brake failure severally. Had to force owners mechanic to change the whole braking system, including the master cylinder
d. Car will just off itself while on duty. I had to rescue severally, with my money.
e. Shaft once pulled while on a trip
f. Personally spent #50,000 or more on repairs, rescue on this car; and rental was #40,000 which I still paid up regularly.

I found out from my mechanic that the car was converted. My mechanic warned me this car was an accident waiting to happen, that I should just return it or the car will kill me. I jejely returned the car to owner

gobuchinny:
Congrats bro..need i say that even drivers that own their cars should see it as a side hustle while they settle down with something permanent. while driving thats how i always saw it...You shouldnt be expecting to driving for the next 5 years..you shouldnt be a career e hailing driver..no..i wont advise that for anyone..drive, save up some money and diversify..start something new...you could still drive on the side in your spare time but never drive without a plan B and think you will drive forever...i might be wrong but thats my thought pattern..Congrats once again.

Thank you sir, very on point

chucsmoore:
congrats bro. Happy for U. Ehailing should really be a side hustle not every thing

Thank you, boss

segzyndpep:
Sorry sir,God will give you a better can in no time,infact your personal car
