Obere4u:
Okay, because I was asked to go open an account which I have gone to their office and submitted every required details

Did you get the first email that your loan application has been approved?

Blastedholligan:
but Polo is a hatchback car. I'm not sure it can be used for Uber. Or can they?

Hatchback are used for Uber. Peugeot 307, matrix, vibe and several others hatchback fly on uberbolt.

Obere4u:
How do I check because I didn't see any in my mailbox

There is no special way to check, if there is nothing in your inbox and spam folders from NPF MB, then you're yet to be selected. Just chill, it will be your turn soon.

Duplik8t77:
this is very informative bro. As regards the first point, I heard the officials always hide the sign that indicates one way from your view in order to trap you and extort you.

As a newbie too, the one way thing scares me. Lol

All you can do is to ask from people. I have asked police and LASTMA for direction before.

goslowgoslow:
Person no go eat pick teeth again? Na wah o

Seriously?
Like you don't understand the context the picture was posted?

marsup:
What sort of ridicule is this?

Blame his media aides who released that picture in 2019 to spite Nigerians who were calling for the release of Sowore. Only an insensitive leader does that (posting a picture of you picking your teeth while the nation and polity was heating up)

Glithronix:
@the bold, undeniably true, cos I am also a user of the 2.4L, though I'm new to the e-hailing. Na why I dey envy Corolla goons be that, the wide appraisals of fuel economy of Corolla self go make person envy the users.
Much respect, brother.

How many is this 'much respect' you don dey share in recent days?

You go finish this "much respect" very soon

dlex21:
Hi guys,

I intend to do Uber with my car (Corolla 2004) for a couple of hours each day.

Any advise for newbie?

Thanks.

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.

Duplik8t77:
Good day everyone. I need a car for uber on weekly remittance. I can be reached on 08165650816. I stay in Surulere Lagos..

Bro, try to contribute to some discussions as much or little as you can asides this your repeated post. With that, people will see you as one of us and probably recommend you or give you link

See, I was very active here years ago long before I joined the hustle that some people even thought I was already active then. I was even replying to inquiries based on what I've read from experienced drivers.

Take a clue from Johnchrix, Glithronix and others who were/are active here while seeking for cars. Some of them got cars via recommendations from here.


My cents, good luck in your car search bro.

You might possibly get Honda baby boy, golf 2/3 or some kia products......all naija used. Remove Toyota from your list.

Good lick in your search

Elvictor:
I am not seeing 500k

Welcome to the reality. No be everything una go use Google find.

If you want to get the idea of car pricing, visit NL auto and jiji car sections more often.

Adejuwonhis:
That use to be the price of Camry but everything has changed ooo pencil Camry depending on how neat it it is and the condition the seller is,,is around 800 to 1.2

Tell him.

Tokunbo Corolla used to be 1.4m/1.5m before but now, it is almost 3m while naija used ones are mostly over 1.5m now.

[quote author=Elvictor post=111701851][/quote]You're showing me a Google search?
Sey na Google go sell the car to you?

Why not prove me wrong and try your luck on NL autos section or jiji if you can see pencil Camry with 500k?

Germi9:
Wait oo how did you guys submit your applications?

Don't.mind them. They want to market CAC registration.

No loan application has been made neither has anyone's loan application been approved or rejected under NEXIT. NEXIT applicants are still in darkness till now after few were called for training last month or so.

Elvictor:
How about toyota camry, 1997model

You Can't get pencil Camry at that price, not even a naija used pencil Camry. Have 800k - 1m for naija used pencil Camry now. Buhari don destroy everything.

fk001:
Asweaer since the start of this Ramadan I have been reluctant and lazy to work even though I do it as a part-time hustle. There is not much surge here in Abuja everywhere dry.

Excuse me sir, are you Fani Kayode?

How did you arrive at the bolded when yesterday was your debut and you ran home after a trip and this is just barely 10am on second day?

Glithronix:
Boss.
1) Na Camry I got oh.
Don't know why Corolla never mentioned to me for rental, it's either Camry or other. I don't know wetin I do for Corolla people.

2) na 7pm we dey break, but seems I'm adapting small small, I can feel it. Yesterday shake me well maybe na because it was my first day. I go still follow your timing tricks.
But what happens to TUESDAY & THURSDAY?

3) Oh, well. Gala and soft drink awaits me.

4) amen to the prayers.

Much respect, boss,

Elvictor:
Can I get a good foreign used car with 500k budget?

Even if someone gives you a car for free from abroad, you will spend more than 500k to ship and clear the car at the port.

This is not to troll you, if you dont have fat pocket, you cant afford to hate naija used cars. Naija used is your best option now, you have no business with tokunbo car with 500k.
Maybe you can get naija used micra, golf 2/3, Honda baby boy etc at that price.


Good luck

Twelve30:
Then after all that you can include your BVN. BVN is an important aspect of this program, please don't over look it.

Having an acct number to submit is the most important thing now, one can go to bank to complete the process. Even those who used USSD will still go to the bank to complete the process, like picture, signature, ID.

Btw, opening an acct with the app, one gets to upload his signature, picture, ID etc. The process is about 90% done with the app

Chiden:
See what I'm seeing

Open an acct with phone number option, bvn option isn't working, did it for my wife yday. At the end of the process, your acct no will be mailed and sent as SMS to you.

kstan:
Ok.
Thanks.

You're welcome.

Here is the thread.
https://www.nairaland.com/2653841/uber-partner-lagos-please-share/4580#2653841.146582

Chiden:
Which account are you guys opening current or savings?

It should be savings. Why should you open a current acct for a loan of 250k or there about?

kstan:
I apologize for derailing from the above topic with the question I'm about to ask.
I recently got a foreign used 2005 Toyota Corolla Wagon and I also heard wagons aren't acceptable for uber/bolt services...but there's also this rumor that a bypass can be acquired by proxy for wagons to be used {if they are 2003+}. I'm wondering if anyone here can help throw more light on this, please. Thanks.

Take your question to uber thread and upload the car picture there. You will get more accurate replies from the drivers. Many people on this thread aren't iber drivers and will misinform you.

EricSmallz:
Thank you Bennymine.
You are a wonderful person.
How did you get to know all these things so well though

This was in news few years ago when it was adopted. Banks can now use GSI to retrieve their money from debtors. If you get loan from first bank and you abscond with their money, first bank can use GSI to retrieve their money from access, GT, Zenith or other bank acct linked to your BVN.

You can actually change your default map on bolt app to Gmap, you can do same on uber app.
Can't access my apps ATM but ask people in the house to guide you how.

Please, dont be shy to ask people around when you're confused a road is one way or not. Make it a habit to ask your riders if they prefer Gmap or they are ready to guide you on their preferred routes, many of them will opt for Gmap, but nevertheless, ask them.

Good luck

Glithronix:
Thanks for the encouragement, boss.
My fear is actually the bolded. Cos I know some old-timers self still dey pay dues, sure my time might come.
Appreciate your encouragement.

But I have one serious issue with the inbuilt map to rider location. How will I be driving forward and my car on the bolt map is moving backwards?
This really confused me, cos I expected my car icon on the map to be going froward just like when you're using the G-map. I don't think I can use the bolt inbuilt map ooh. Please make una teach me how to use it. I prefer the Google map format. Or is there a setting or bolt that will direct my car icon forward, instead of backwards?
Please make una educate me, abeg.

Oyerinde16:
I am yet to see someone using Volkswagen for bolt. I once took a Volkswagen golf 5 2006 for inspection, the lady said they aren't accepting it, she snapped the car and sent for verification and confirmation, she said sorry. They accept corolla more and a few models more now...

People use it. I've seen a driver who use it. The lady must have given you wrong info like some telecoms customer care agents.

Check uber/bolt website, they only stated car specs interms of years and other features as requirements, not car brand.

Even Innosson will fly as long as it is 2003+ and sound

Oyerinde16:
Seems bolt and Uber do not accept Volkswagen products, quote me if I'm wrong or if you are using Volkswagen for bolt or uber...

Any car model is accepted on boltUber as long as it is not wagon and 2003+. Any sedan or hatchback car from 2003 will fly

BESTScientist1:
Keke marua...... do you guys pay the mods to bring silly questions here?

While I was a kid growing up, I wasn't this stupi*d. I know you're a kid and still being fed, but this isn't an excuse to be this f*oolish.

What is silly with this thread?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Good afternoon brethren

I greet you all in the name of the Lord

Abeg who get contact for Ladipo?

I want to buy Hub for Sienna (Back to be precise)

Abeg [/color]

Contact Gazzuz now. He should

adetola77:
My question is after getting the act no via used code is it a must to visit the bank for proper documentation, like updating the act with the nepa bill, passport and I'd card. Hope this will not disregard from getting this loan prior to not updating the act properly. Thanks

Not validating the acct will not stop you from getting the loan. Your acct has already been created with that acct number, the worst that can happen if the acct isnt validated is to limit the transaction on the said acct,l. So dont fret. You can visit the bank at your pace even after disbursement, don't work yourself up over validation yet

AntiBMC:
Nawa o. Oyigboupdate and his fulani cohorts will not like this news.

Exactly how notherners were hailing and supporting BH terrorists when they started, but who suffers most from BH now?

You can continue rejoicing that your people are being killed and forced to sit at home on mondays by IPOB. Keep celebrating your region's self destruction like it is affecting Buhari or other regions.

Na your region go dey deserted while IPOB thugs take over.

kanuisagoat:
That time don pass. Na okada business I wan do now.
