Infact you have really given us the real life scenario. This was the bone of contention that rider can’t report you or get your account blocked if trip did not happen. I sensed this could happen but I’ve never experienced it, so your case is the best example.

But do you know if you had just suck it in the rider would have apologized for wasting your time and your account won’t get blocked?
I’ve waited for 49 minutes paid waiting before, I was just praying rider doesn’t cancel. It was a cool place so I press seat and used it as break time.

Too poor.
There's this company at Ajah that goes to East with camry spider. They charge 25k per person. Three people only and they leave Ajah between 5-5:30, before 3pm, you're at Enugu.

I don't know what car you use, but assume fuelling to and fro 20-25k
Food and police 10k
Car maintenance after trip 5k
Profit, 10-15k for two days.

@ Jide flash, I just got to him now, and I narrated the events to him, he agreed to send the money to your wife.

So let's see by evening, if he has been able to do that.

Shanid:
Hello everyone , camry 04 tyre changed from 205/65/15 to 195/65/15...is it okay ? Hope there won't be any issue later ?

I realised you're not much of an active driver so you may not really understand some of these things especially as your experiences may be limited to the few trips you do.

You are not looking at the fact that next time, the rider will make sure she's almost done with preparations before ordering a ride and will not keep the driver waiting.

Some of those riders who hop into your vehicle just as you arrived might have been schooled by people like felicity in the past.

Yes his account was blocked so what happened? He has survived without them and still doing okay.

jideflash:
Thanks Chief. He eventually called back my wife and paid the money that evening. I appreciate all the support here guyz.

Npala:
Good. Someone finally noticed.

BAZ001:


So you think in all my active years of driving I wouldn’t have experienced such a rider or even was scenario ? Trust me I have met 99% of different manner of riders in Lagos.
I will even say the hustle is better now with ride request. Request full everywhere during the week and anytime of the day, there was a Thursday I was getting request back to back like weekends.
There is no time I put on Uber and bolt that I won’t get request in 10mins unlike before that you wait. Even d last time I went to ikorodu I got two request back to Lagos before I drop off rider.
I didn’t drive this week doesn’t mean I have less experience.

but you are new in the hostle, since I do see do 20 trips Last

Jagophics:
Good evening everyone,
Pls I am a young guy trying to make a living for my self, I intend going into this Uber business, I planned buying my own car but my budget is 800k, I have been saving this money for a long time.

Pls I need advice on the following
1. car to purchase
2. Things to look out for when purchasing a car
3. Is the Uber/bolt business still profitable
4. General advise about the hustle


Plsss

My tots too, u r absolutely on point...anything less than 70k don't go.
Let me add, also consider how many people are going on the trip. Don't forget, most likely na village u dey go not Onitsha town, so its a longer ride.

Although u will carry passengers and come back, but that's extra for u. Collect the money you would have made in 3days if u were within Lagos. Ur gain shouldn't be less than 40k for the stress n risk

kanuisagoat:
This one actually expects a driver 25 minutes away to come and pick him . If you check now, e fit be N700 naira trip

I was in your shoes 2 years ago, so i know how itching it must be to hit the ground running but don't Jump on it like I did and regretted.
Keep your money in the bank and source for a rental (25K) would do just fine right now.
With that, you'll be able to learn the ropes and hopefully, save some money to add up with what you have to get a decent car built for Ehailing rigours.
And when the time is right to get a car, Toyota Corolla, Camry, Avensis, Yaris, Honda civic & City are your best bet. Don't listen to people who says otherwise, they won't be there for you when the shit hit the roof.
No matter how bad these listed cars are, be rest assured that selling it off won't take forever and your loss will be minimal.

Na felicity cos all dis ooh, asking me to post ratings.
