Good evening house, how has ur day been? my name is Emmanuel an active driver on uber. i have driven on uber abuja for 3 weeks and for the 3 weeks, i have had to my credit more than 130 trips. my experience so far has made me to understand that uber is worthwhile and profitable if i drive my personal car. so in the cause of my search for hire purchase deal, i got an offer for a slightly used volks passat 06 @ 1.1m of which i only have 200k. so i need someone who can invest 900k and i'm willing to payback with 30k weekly instalment for 10mnths. which is 30,000*4*10= 1,200,000. =27% intrest just for 10 mnths.
How to go about it! The uber account will be in the investor's name and that will get rid of fear and doubt about default because all the payments will be made into the investors bank account by uber and the balance will be tranfered to my account after d weekly deduction of 30k. Any intrested person should contact 08065075805 for further discussion. thanks
Not meaning to piss on your fire or rain on your parade.
I believe that with such a fine offer, we must be able to ask you critical questions, which I'm sure you would welcome.
Please, what happens if you decide you are tired of driving an Uber before the alloted 10 months? And at the same time decide to move cities, maybe the weather is too hot here in Abuja. Where does that leave the investor?

I still have more questions. What is this 20% uber collects? Is it weekly or monthly?

Are drivers paid weekly or monthly? How much are they paid?

I understand uber is responsible for fueling the vehicles, who is responsible for the maintenance of the car?

Hello, Uber collects 25% not 20%, this is deducted from every single transaction, thus it has no time window.
Drivers can be paid weekly or monthly, depending on the agreement between partner and driver. Drivers are usually paid between 15-25%, often-times based on performance
.
Uber does not fuel cars, maintain, nor insure them. That is strictly up to the partner.

Thanks, but the car is even faulty, engine brings out smoke, bad rear light, always calling the driver even on a trip, asking where are you when offline for just a minute, there is no agreement pertaining to target, the car consume fuel and be has not even for one day fill the tank. All he is shouting is money. The driver tried his best by respecting him and working hard but the partner is too possessive.

He has called him to come pick his car that he is no longer interested working with him.
Is money everything in life? We should take it easy abeg.
Bros, this actually sounds like a relationship. Toh, so you guys should break up and both find new spouses.

I can see some partners are very rude, talk to their drivers as if they are slaves to them, partners and drivers both need themselves so they should try and respect them. So because somebody is working for u, the person no longer have his life to live again?

Why will a partner want to make million in one month? abeg op, I need answers!
Some people really are naturally rude, that coupled with the dynamics of the partner-driver relationship where the partner is your boss, can really cause some partners to become overly abusive. However, some drivers too have a persistently terrible attitude, which can lead to the partner getting frustrated and lashing out. I prefer to think of the relationship between partner and driver as a partnership in progress, taking into regard the fact that he/she is your boss. Like I said, it's a partnership, if everybody plays their role, especially the driver, it shouldn't be so difficult to co-exist professionally. After all there is a level of respect that must be accorded to every single individual, even a 1 month old baby!
About making 1 million in one month(lol), that is the work of the agreement you signed, it should have been understood what both partner and driver's expectations are before-hand. If driver signs an agreement that he can deliver 15 trips or will work 16 hours a day, and doesnt, then there would be a disagreement, which can lead to partner being seemingly 'rude'. If driver signs same agreement and excedes expectations, both parties would be in agreement. As it stands, there is more of driver supply than demand for drivers, which means it is a partner''s market, he/she can afford to do "yanga". I understand that a drivers' job is already difficult, but in these tough economic times, it is also not easy shelling out millions to buy a car. Try and find middle ground with your partner and also, be watchful of your own attitude as well.

mytshirtriches:
Can some body explain this to me

N400 base fare + N90/km + N9/minute (N400 minimum fare/N1000 Cancellation fee)

I saw this on the uber rate. I dont understand the (N400 minimum fare/N1000 Cancellation fee)
That is how Uber calculate their money o: 400 naira base fare, plus the number of kilometre you ride × 90 + the amount of minutes you ride × 9= Your total fare. 400 naira minimum fare means that no matter how brief your trip is, your fare price cannot be less than 400 naira. Cancellation fee is when you book a ride on Uber, then cancel after 5 mins. Uber then charges you 1000 naira, to cover the cost the Uber driver who must have started driving towards you incurred before you cancelled, the 1000 is for the fuel and time he is assumed to have wasted. If you cancel before 5 minutes, you are not charged the 1000 naira, only if you cancel after 5 minutes.

[quote author=sleekender post=50244599]100K a month?? When drivers make over 100K a week on Uber...



Thanks for the feedback, let's use your calculation, 100, 000 a week. Based on an average benchmark of 1000 naira per trip at 14.285 trips per day. Uber takes 25,000. At that rate, fuel costs at 4000 naira per day, data and voice calls at 1000 naira a day, comprehensive car wash at 3500 per week, servicing fees at 1000 naira per week, miscellaneous such as minor repairs, candy, water and wifi, (these are optional but necessary) 500 naira per day, 3,500 per week. We pay the driver 20% net. All of this tallies at 25,700 net profit, subtract 20,000 and we are left with 814 naira per day, and still open to negotiation. You do not think that is fair?! angry

vpaymoney:
wow! thank you for this man! am planning to go for customers service training cos of this Uber riders av been very mean to me this days. imagine me that have a high rating before, now am having 4.42 which is even killing my morale generally. and its affecting my performances. I now drive with fear of unknown. I don't know what else to do to have their 5stars. maybe they think other stars count that if they give 4star is still OK like Nigeria lecturers. pls I need help now!
Hello vpaymoney, Uber uses the GPA system used in Nigerian universities to calculate driver ratings, so your comment about Nigerian lecturers may not be far from the truth.
Riders may think a 4 star rating is good enough for the fantastic service you rendered, in actual fact, a 4 star rating is a vote to get the driver deactivated!
The onus is on you to improve your service, you need to stop worrying and get proactive. Pay close attention to detail. Your car hygiene, your personal hygiene, dress well, your customer relations (very very important), the accessories in your car, your city knowledge.
To get 5 star ratings you need to go above and beyond the call of duty everytime, open the door for your riders ( ordinarily I wouldn't suggest this), treat them very well, right before you move the car, ask them if they are comfortable in a meaningful way( you know, like if they are not comfortable, you can move the earth to make them so). If they have luggage, always help them load it in the booth,
whenever it is raining, escort them with an umbrella. Always have change. When it is night, tell them you will wait for them till they enter their house to make sure they are safe. Increase the number of accessories in your car.
Hopefully, your ratings should increase dramatically.
I wish you luck.

Hello all, 
Though this thread is for partners, the realization has just hit me that there are a lot of partner-drivers on Uber Abuja, so this thread, in order to be fair should not be limited to partners. I think I should cover some things that are of interest to drivers. If you are a newbie driver on Uber or even a seasoned one with hundreds of trips under your belt, you would be interested in what this post contains, who knows, you might get one or two light bulb moments from reading, so here goes.

Tips for drivers on Uber :
So you have completed your Uber aptitude test and sign up and are ready to take your first trip, exciting isn't it. However there are one or two details that might help for you to 
observe.
I will start from when you get your first request, the ideal thong is to call and confirm the rider's address, this call would go something like this
Driver: Hello, good afternoon(depending on time of day)
Rider: Hello, good afternoon 
Driver: This is your Uber driver, I am calling you to confirm your address
Rider : Oh okay, it's No. 29 so, so and so street, do you know how to get there?. 
Driver: (If you know the place, please skip this step, otherwise you can tell the rider you will locate him using your navigation) No I don't, could you please offer any additional details?
Rider describes
Driver: Okay thank you, I should be with you in 10 minutes ( you know this because you have checked the Google map navigation which tells you ETA(estimated time of arrival).
Rider: Okay thank you
Driver: Thank you sir/ma, see you in 10 minutes.
Now you know how to get there, at the same time, you have locked the rider in to prevent him/her from cancelling(not foolproof though, but I have found it works well to reduce cancellations).
Now, you immediately head out to the address provided, keep in mind that the rider can see you on his/her rider app map in real time, so you don't want to waste time or make unnecessary stops.
Drive to the location with your AC off and your Windows down to minimise fuel consumption, as soon as you arrive at the correct location, switch off your engine (if it is safe to do so), this is because you might have to wait for the rider, as soon as the rider approaches your car, turn on your inner light ( if it is night), start your engine and immediately turn on your AC. Say hello, to your rider and their companions(if any, say hello to each one of them), remember to be super polite. As soon as the rider is in your car, you are allowed to start the trip, ask them where they are headed, that is if they have not already entered a destination into their rider app, in any case, the moment you start the trip, you will know if they have, if they haven't, click on where the address is written in your driver app, it will ask you for a drop off location, enter the location the rider gives you ( make sure to always enter the destination, it is very important, 1 because of your completion rate, 2 because Uber can send you back to back trips if they know your destination), then click "Navigate". After you configure all of this, start moving immediately, you don't want to waste a rider's time.
Ask them if they want anything, then state the accessories you have in your car, chargers, music, fm, movies, Internet, water etc ( Alternately you can have all these printed and placed where a rider can readily see it). Ask them if the temperature is OK, you want to make them feel pampered. Keep in mind that, for the duration a rider is in your car, figuratively speaking, it is their car, not yours.
Now, riders are different, some of them want to talk and hear what you have to say, some of them are just tired from a long day at work and want nothing more than peace and quiet, they just might not be in the mood, this is not the best time to start up a conversation with them, one rule of thumb I abide by is, I keep quiet till the rider shows interest in conversation, I then make sure that the ensuing conversation is an interesting one, they usually give large tips if the conversation is interesting or educating enough.
Some riders have multiple destinations, if this is the case, always enter each stop in the "dropoff location" by clicking the address in your app. If requests come in while you are on your trip, always accept, otherwise this would affect your acceptance rate.If you can't take on the new trip, call that rider and tell them why you can't take their trip request eg, the current rider is still in the car and isn't ending the trip soon.
When you arrive at your destination, if it is a cash trip, do "calculate fare", and always show them the screen, so they can see the amount for the trip with their own eyes. Once they pay, complete trip, if it is a card trip, simply complete the trip, the money will automatically be deducted. Wish them a good day, and bam, you have a great trip with hopefully 5 star ratings.
Be polite and professional throughout the trip, don't take any phone calls unless you absolutely have to, don't stop to "hail" you friends on the rider's time, don't stop to buy things in hold-up, do that on your own time. 

Step 5: Rinse and repeat. 

To many 5 star trips, Cheers.

Tips for saving cost while driving on Uber : When driving on Uber, the little things really do matter, you want to save as much as possible on costs while simultaneously increasing your earnings, this post is dedicated to showing you the little things that make a difference.
When a driver receives a new request, the first thing he should do is call the rider, not go ahead and drive to the location of the request. This is for a myriad of reasons, first, riders sometimes move their pins to a different location from where their requests are initiated, this is because a rider might not find available cats where they are, so they have to move their pins to where there are available cars. Another reason is riders sometimes move their pins to avoid surge pricing. Another reason you should call first is that the rider might be requesting the Uber for someone else, who is in a different location. Sometimes the GPS can also send you to a wrong location, I've had this happen to me more often than Ube would like to admit. Calling the rider first takes care of all of this, instead of driving all the way to the rider's supposed GPS location only to find out that is not where the ride is needed can cause either the rider or the driver to cancel, that is money lost for money not even earned. And the driver might not get cancellation fees, since you might not be within a 5 minute distance to the rider ( this is the time window the driver must be in in order to be eligible for the cancellation fee). There are other reasons,but by now I'm sure you get the point, the moral of the story is; make sure to call first.
Another tip is, the air conditioner doesn't have to be on full blast all the time, just cool enough that the cabin of the car is comfortable. Do not put the AC on full blast unless you notice your rider is uncomfortable or maybe if they are wearing a suit, or clothing that usually causes heat. Direct the AC vents at the rider, this will create the illusion that the AC is cooler than it really is since it is blowing directly at them. Use your discretion but always make sure to ask if the rider is comfortable.
Make sure your driver is conversant with the city, this reduces the amount of fuel burnt due to wrong turns and longer routes, it also makes the riders happy. Riders are inherently suspicious of drivers who take wrong turns and don't seem to know where they are going, asides that, they think you are trying to increase the trip length so as to charge more. Besides you do not want to get your rider lost or late for a meeting.
Uber uses quite a large amount of data, as it stands, the cost of data is quite high considering the state of the economy at this time, it is advisable to get your driver an affordable as well as efficient subscription, such as the Globacom data subscription, at the moment it seems to be the most competitive data bundle in Nigeria. Otherwise you would spend a lot on data. I would advise to use a dual sim phone for Uber with an Etisalat as the back-up option in case your driver is in an area with limited glo coverage.
Maintain your vehicle properly to make sure the engine is as efficient as possible, check your tyre pressure regularly. 
Get a total card for fuel ( I've heard it is not the easiest thing in the world to get) but try. This is so that your driver doesn't inflate fuel costs, i.e. buy 2,500 naira fuel and then come back to tell you they bought 3000.
Another thing is, do not drive around looking for trip requests, they will find you. Sometimes however, it is absolutely necessary to drive from an area with generally low requests, such as satellite towns ( for instance, you most likely would not get trips in gwagwalada as much as you would get in Wuse).Also, there are sometimes when you are in area with high supply in the immediate area ( e.g you are in area with a lot of Ubers, so when trips enter they might go to better rated drivers than you), in that situition, you may want to move a shot dI stance away so that trip requestrian can find you more easily. If these situations come up and you absolutely have to move, drive slow with your AC off and your windows down, all four windows (to reduce drag, the optimum thing is to have all windows up but then the health implications are also there to consider). In fact, even when you have riders in your car, it is still advisable to drive slow unless the rider demands otherwise (not so slow though that you annoy the rider) and also avoid down-kicking ( pressing hard and suddenly on the accelerator) this forces a lot of petrol into the combustion chamber which then burns the petrol out very quickly. Remember to turn the AC back on as you are approaching the rider's location so you can have a cool comfortable cabin by the time you pick up the rider.
I am sure there are other cost-cutting measures you can apply for driving on Uber, if you know of one that isn't mentioned, please feel free to add.
Have a nice day, Cheers.

Tips for saving cost while driving on Uber : When driving on Uber, the little things really do matter, you want to save as much as possible on costs while simultaneously increasing your earnings, this post is dedicated to showing you the little things that make a difference.
When you receive a new request, the first thing you should do is call the rider, don't drive to the location of the request just yet.
This is for a myriad of reasons, first, a rider may move their pin to a different location from where the request is initiated, maybe they can't find available cars where they are, so he/she moves his/her pin to where there are available cars.
Or the rider is only requesting the ride for someone else, who is in a different location.
Calling the rider first takes care of all of this, instead of driving all the way to the rider's supposed GPS location only to find out that is not where the ride is needed can cause either the rider or the driver to cancel, that is money lost for money not even earned.
There are other reasons,but by now I'm sure you get the point, the moral of the story is; make sure to call first.
Another tip is, the air conditioner doesn't have to be on full blast all the time, just cool enough that the cabin of the car is comfortable. Do not put the AC on full blast unless you notice your rider is uncomfortable or maybe if they are wearing a suit, or clothing that usually causes heat. Direct the AC vents at the rider, this will create the illusion that the AC is cooler than it really is since it is blowing directly at them. Use your discretion but always make sure to ask if the rider is comfortable.
Make sure you are conversant with the city, this reduces the amount of fuel burnt due to wrong turns and longer routes, it also makes your riders happy. Riders are inherently suspicious when you take wrong turns and don't seem to know where you are going, they think you are trying to increase the trip length so as to charge more. Besides you do not want to get your rider late for a meeting.

Uber uses quite a large amount of data, as it stands, the cost of data is quite high considering the state of the economy at this time, it is advisable to get an affordable as well as efficient subscription. Otherwise you would spend a lot on data. I would advise to use a dual sim phone for Uber with an alternate network provider as the back-up option in case you are in an area with limited coverage.
Service your vehicle properly to make sure the engine is as efficient as possible, check your tyre pressure regularly.
Another thing is, do not drive around looking for trip requests, they will find you. Sometimes however, it is absolutely necessary to drive from an area with generally low requests, such as small satellite towns. Also, there are sometimes when you are in area with high supply of e-cabs in the immediate area ( you can know this by looking at taxi app passenger versions, on the home screens you can see the e-cabs around you), you may want to move a short distance away just so trip requests can find you more easily. If these situations come up and you absolutely have to move, drive slowly.
In fact, even when you have riders in your car, it is still advisable to drive slow unless the rider demands otherwise, avoid down-kicking, this forces a lot of petrol into the combustion chamber which then burns the petrol out very quickly.
Remember to turn the AC on as you are approaching the rider's location so you can have a cool comfortable cabin by the time you pick up the rider.
I am sure there are other cost-cutting measures you can apply for driving on Uber, if you know of one that isn't mentioned, please feel free to comment.
Have a nice day

Is there a possibility of failing the test? Or what do hey really look out for in the test.? And yes you can refer me? if you can send me your digits so as to call you
Yes, generally speaking, there is a distinct possibility of failing the test, when I wrote mine, I saw people who came to receive their results that failed. But in your case, I doubt you would, with the level of English understanding and intelligence you apparently possess (I hope I don't sound patronising). The test is made up of two types of questions; intelligence and ethics, the first part looks like an IQ test, the second part has questions like if you found a phone would you return it, that sort of thing.
Since we have already spoken, I won't bother adding my phone number.
Good luck.

You are welcome, here it is
Ventures Platform, 29 Mambilla street, off Aso drive. Former US Embassy.
To be a partner you must provide Uber with your Tax Identification Number and you must also have a current account. Apart from that, all you would need to pay is the 10,000 for background check, even that is removed when your driver earns up to 10,000, not directly from your pocket.
