Good morning guys, I have being a silent reader here.

I recently lost my job and things are relatively tough for me right now, I really want to go into Uber/Bolt business, I have a corrola and I really would love to deploy it. I will be relocating to lagos soon. The only problem is that I do not know much about lagos roads. I am good with driving direction apps though.

I want to ask, is driving app enough for me to do this business in a location I am new to?

Your candid advise please.

What's the colour of your can is the one that posses me off the most.

Calling rider...
Me: I'm here
Rider: where?
Me: number so and so, 2 story building, cream color with brown gate
Rider: that's it, what's the color of your car?
Me: are you outside
Rider: 2 mins, I'm coming down now

Silly questions just to buy time, but for the where are you? That depend on the weight of the trip and mood.

Mind you, yours inclusive, so maybe using yours as a yard stick remittance should be 8k weekly... Lol

As for me the only time I made 120k net was during the era of 3% after 20 trips on Uber... Even with this bolt daily bonus of 2k after 10 trips I'm still struggling to net 100k weekly. Now I'm being frank here... Net oh I said not gross... The highest I've done recently a day on bolt is 25/27k I supposed which took about 11-12hrs online for me... Now after that long hrs driving do you expect or think same person can still do same hrs the next day and the next day? When I no be robot.

Now, yesterday I didn't go out at all due to the traffic that dealt with me on Friday I got home drilled out, after 1am I entered house...was only able to do 3 trips on that very day Friday... Mind you Tuesdays are my resting days so I didn't work ... This is the reality many will not come out openly to say but as for me I'll always stand by the truth.

Look at the experience BAZ001 just shared... Would an owner prefer rent at 45k weekly and get hus car destroyed after a month or do 25k and let the driver work and have adequate rest and his car last longer? Which would one prefer?

30k to me for a single man is still now bad because you cant compare a single dude with a married man but 30k for a married man to me? Is a big No! Take it or leave it!

Lastly, anyone that wants to rent @60k, 35k per week or wants a deposit its up to that person after all no be help the person buy motor.

How much the driver makes with a car on rental is not the business of the car owner.. the problem is not the earning, the problem is the contract details used, and the man management prowess of the car owner....

The average car owner don't know anything about the business, and their failure starts from asking for just any rental agreement contract, they modify the name and validate the contract without personalising it to fit their preference and what they are offering..imagine a landlord in VGC using same tenancy agreement with a landlord in Akute e.t.c. Your rental agreement must represent the current economy and projected economy of the business (if not you will complain and cry every-time)

Secondly, Rental implies giving out/transfering possession of a particular thing (not ownership) to a second party for use in return for an agreed fee, termed rental fee) the returns generated from the use of the item is basically the rentee largese and by law in return he is expected to pay the agreed rental fee to the renter .... So whether the rentee makes more than the rental fee that's his gain and if the rentee makes less than it, definitely his loss, anything other than this is just individual play of give and take. For instance: you rent out a house and the company makes a lot of money and you feel cheated, the legal thing to do is to activate the part of the contract which states the rental fee is open to renegotiation, but the question is how many of this rental contract have such provision (none that I have seen)

Thirdly, under rental especially for an item that has depreciating or appreciating attribute there must always be a well stated plan of action, when it comes to maintenance and repairs, most of the rental agreement just indicate repairs and maintenance to be handled by owner (wrong move) some indicate that repairs below or above this amount (wrong move). Imagine renting a house and your bulb gets spoilt and you start disturbing your landlord (?). For car , there are two type of cost ...running cost and repair cost....running cost such as fueling, servicing, buying of battery, electrical fault ought to be handled by the driver, why repairs such as engine related, gear related and other high end expenses should be handled by the renter (ownership is not transferred)

Renter (car owner) have every right to review his rental fee, very legal, that can be done reviewing the current earning possiblity, the current repair expenses, and you draw up your contract and table your offer to the rentee (driver) it's left for him to accept, reject or counter offer. (simple).

Lastly, the man management skill, if you don't possess it, you have no business investing in this nature of business... You must be ready to hire, review, fire, and inspect....lack in any of those areas and you will cry bitterly...

I will restate my point, any amount the driver makes out of the car is never the business of the car owner....if you want most of the earning to be yours as the owner, then what you have to do is employ drivers (I moove)

CheerfulGiver:
I drive my own car. And here's my current weekly earnings. I'll quote you again at the end of today

No police, no lastma, no mechanic, no repairs.

I only added a liter of engine oil cos I realized my oil was short just after 3000 miles from last service.

Look for another name to use for your analysis. I have broken all shackles.

CheerfulGiver:
All these are permutations and are not real analysis. You analyze based on emotions, not facts.

Come back here after you've driven your own car for six straight months. I can talk because I have.

Have you?

Advice needed:

My car is quite low, just 4 days in this Job, I have lost one fog light, broken bumper and my exhaust pulled. Abeg, is it advisable to raise a corolla sport a little bit?

Felicity0001:


I thought I made myself clear already on how much is ok for married couple and singles...

So where did you not understand?

As a matter of fact 25k is very very much okay generally so pets not create any form of segregation.

I read somebody said bolt has increase the fare, what kind of poor analysis is that? How much was fuel b4?

Its reasonable to say owners should increase rental fee due to inflation on cost of purchase of cars and cost of repairs and parts but to say because of surge and N70/km is not a technical way to argue at all.

Any owner that wants to rent at 30k and above should opt to hp and stop acting like you're doing the driver favour for his hard work by maintaining your own car. Mind you these drivers are only renting your car and no matter how long or how many years he uses the car on rental the car still belongs to you and not his so why should I rent a car for 30k and above? For what As as how na?!

If it's HP then the driver knows he's working to get something at the end of the contract but how certain can a driver drive on rental to buy his own car? How possible can a man with responsibilities be able to save 2.5m to buy a corolla?

So you guys should understand there's a large different btw rental and HP so why asking for same amount? Same owner on rental with a particular car for 3yrs wants 30k per week as one on HP, so tell me who is the selfish one here now?

The renter
The hirer
Or the rentee?

Godfather10:

Perverted logic, this is the type of evil driver car owners should avoid, its all about me myself and l.
They conveiniently forget that the Oyinbo platforms has sanctioned the increase, this fellow here, thinks small he has no dream of becoming an owner or one day renting his own car,
These are what l call myopic one dimensional thinker, they either progress by cheating others or they can never progress at all,
Its the same problem our nation is facing, cheating ,greed and selfishness
UBER business is a business that can keep all those on the value chain happy, if only we have sense, are hardworking ,fair and have big dreams

Godfather10:

Driving in an airconditioned car for 6months isnt hard at all.
Its enjoyable in my opinion and nothing compared to those that wake up at 4am to be at their desk by 8/9am

Godfather10:

The average of a hard working driver for a day is between 20k and 25k, for lazy drivers like Felicity l can say btw 10K to 15k everyday, so he will need 3days
To make what a hard working driver will make, in order to be fair to all parties and for the success of the value chain 2/3 days should be dedicated to car owners and 4/5days for drivers, in a nutshell delivery shoud be btw 40/50k weekly so every person on the value chain will be contented, the platforms have set the ball rolling by increasing what drivers earn to keep them happy its only logical that everyone on the value chain should be happy.
From my observations, a lot of UBER drivers in Nigeria are well educated and think logically, not like danfo drivers, UBER driving should be seen as a stepping stone to better things.
For drivers that have big dreams and hope to become successes in life, show your dashboard to encourage others, as to what can be accomplished,
Nov/Dec is the 2m gross period for those hardworking drivers with a plan, and January is the month that you invest the 2m you have saved to generate a new income stream, implement your new business idea,
The choice is stark and simple you are either a Felicity, who talks a lot and accomplishes nothing
Or you are a Kanuisgoat who shares his dashboard and is born to be great, Kanuisgoat has a plan & becos he has a plan and he is not bothered about greeting or such infintesimal nonsense.
The ball is in your court folks.
