Disadvantages of using inDriver and Solution

1. Trip doesn't read in traffic : the price is fixed unlike Bolt. Don't take trip request to traffic prone areas or else you would incur heavy losses. If you must accept request to these areas always check time estimate from pick up point to destination, when request comes in on the app. The time it will take you to get where rider is going is usually indicated in green colour while the time to get where you will pick up rider will show in blue.

You must consider this factors before accepting any trip, it is paramount important and it keeps you afloat in making profit with the app or else you go just go burn fuel for traffic and earn chicken change.

Examples of these areas are places like Apapa, if container or tanker block road for there, you u re finished.

2. Long Idle Time or Waiting time: it takes time to get another trip after you have completed one Alot of drivers Bid and contest for incoming trip request. It's usually like war zone. It's like when MC Oluomo, Tafa Sego and Kunle poly are fighting for Union money. . Its survival of fittest bro. When I was a rookie on inDriver, I had days of bidding for 10 good trip request, I wasn't able to win 1 bid. It was painful and frustrating. There was no Kobo made on inDriver those days.

But the good thing is that you can avert occurrences like this by making sure

- 80% of the trips you do are within central Lagos:
Ikeja, Surulere, Yaba, Lagos Island, Ikoyi, V.I, Lekki or places like 2Km to 8Km close to these areas. Waiting time is usually minimal as volumes of request plenty. Back to back trips are easier around these areas especially when there is surge on Bolt. Large percentage of people use inDriver app in these places. Commercial nerve center of Lasgidi are in this places I mentioned.

Note there is a difference between Lagos and Lasgidi. Do most of your trips within Lasgidi. Better opportunities are in Lasgidi than Lagos. Offline trips on inDriver plenty that will rake you thousands if u package Wella.

- Use a good phone with high internet connection and fast processor speed. If request comes, nah you go first get am before any driver around that environment. Most riders tends to choose the first 3 drivers that pops up base on fare, time and distance. I will recommend iPhone 6S to iPhone 12

That's what I use and it performs well

- Always check the passenger app in any location you find yourself, so that you can position properly to be favourite to be selected when request comes in. Promixity matters alot to riders when the fare or offer is good to them. You are likely going to win the bid. Avoid location where there are plenty drivers so that you can increase your chances of winning a bid when closest request comes in.

3. Improper Address input Don't accept trip without a specified address on app. Riders use this tactics to cheat drivers. since the price is fixed. For example: ICM to Victoria Island, instead of ICM to Amadu Bello way or Ozumba Mbadiwe. The prices are not the same. They put V.I on map inorder to reduce price. Victoria Island on the map is mostly mapped as the outskirts of V.I and fare is cheaper compare to the inner part of V.I. like Oniru, Ligali ayorinde, water cooperation drive and so on. Riders must specify the exact place he or she is going to before accepting or else you will drive extra kilometres and get underpaid.


4. If Rider Cancel, inDriver will deduct money from your wallet, but they will refund you after 10 days. Make sure you have enough money in your wallet to sustain you when riders cancel. At least 1K is good one to pay commission. with 1k, you will have to make 10k before you replenish your wallet again. Commission is just 9.5%. There are going to be some bad days rider will cancel alot and if you don't have enough bar in wallet, it could be frustrating and very annoying.

Note:

Don't click arrive when you ve not arrive to pick up rider, because if the ride didn't eventually happen, if u cancel, inDriver will charge commission without refunding you and that becomes loss on your part.

Don't always cancel, let the rider cancel so that you can always get a refund.



I wish I can go on and on base on personal experience, but time will not permit me.

I wan go sleep, prepare for 2mao's work.

Wish u best of luck with your new found Bae

I notice you always like to win arguments at all cost so you go to the extent of twisting points instead of agreeing when you see that the other guy is right. I never said good trips, I said short trips.

skillip:

GeneralZodd:
Pearl being dey disguise since 1865, and we no know say him be Bolt spy. We dey pure all our secret and information here, Pearl dey go disburse the vital info to Bolt Management.

How he take know the calculations of the new driver score rating system in few days surprised me.

Even we wey be Veterans is still trying to figure out how Driver score works.

I never drive for one good week Driver score don dey drop. If I come drive for a whole full month, driver score go turn 25%. Riders dey cancel far distance pick up and Network dey mess up this new rating system.

Bolt no try for this one at all. They need to review it cos is not going to work in a long-term.

Just 2days pere, Driver score don drop.

Gentlelife50:
This fuel scarcity is making some filling stations to witness high patronage, even the ones that on a good day nobody enters there to buy fuel.
Once they sell fuel within some minutes there will be long queue that will be causing traffic, this is no longer funny.

ReadaDream:
I love love Indriver open rating system

Pope191 no vex, we don take over your darling App, no be only you Sabi cash out low-key.

mejai:
Is it that it took you few days to understand the modus operandi of the new upgraded app or u should just open up and tell us..... YOU ARE UCHE.

The way u comfortably and calmly defend bolt and claim u are saying it the way it is baffles us here.
For God's sake, the insecurities in Lagos concerning bolt drivers are alarming. Why can't they allow drivers to choose where dey want to go with their cars?
Riders have options to download after bolt, there's Uber, indriver, Rida and the rest. They must surely get home to their dreaded destination where we may not want to go.
No offense sir!

eyinola:
bro u seems to hv so much information abt how bolt works , the way u always gives details and breakdown dey amaze me

Viking07:
Now I see why they call you Uche. Thanks for the explanation.

donfortune48:

GeneralZodd:
Pearl why are u always on Bolt side. You said u re one of us, but your comment is always the opposite.
Pearl why are u like this ?......why?

The kind of shitty fares Bolt churn out this days i think drivers deserve bonus to augment their earning.

25% commission no be beans. Drivers deserve a better welfare package.

GeneralZodd:
Boys dey migrate to inDriver on daily basis as things are getting tougher on Bolt.

BAZ001:
Mbok please scan your area again...
e be like say fuel don scarce again for mainland.
As at Thursday no queue again and today only one filling station is selling and black market everywhere.

Na like this we go dey dey ?

I had a different kind of experience about 2 weeks ago.
I got a request on indriver to drop off a generator in ikeja. I asked the person who ordered the ride who would pay, he said the recipient of the generator. I arrived at the drop of point, the recipient brought out the generator, told him is far is N25x0... he complained that it was too expensive that the guy should have used bolt to make the delivery. To cut a long story short he started checking the generator, when he pulled the rope the 1st time and nothing happened he pulled it the second time, the generator refused to come on, I wandered if the generator does not work, I might have to take it back to pu... on the 3rd attempt the generator sputtered to life.... he only paid N2500... I ended the trip on indriver. 10 mins later the person who ordered the ride told me I should not give his house address to the buyer of the generator no matter the reason I told him why should I.... Caveat emptor!
