To get your confirmation rate up...Accept 90% of your trips. Even if u know u don't want to go to the riders destination. After accepting, slide Arrive, then u cancel with "rider didn't show" or "rider phone number not reachable" or "rider asked to cancel"

To make money on Bolt...
Wake up early and start early
Target long distance trips
Target trips within maintown Lagos; Ikeja, Ogba-Agege, Berger, Ketu, Ogudu, Gbagada, Yaba, Surulere, Oshodi, VI, Lekki,

Second class destinations; only go to these destinations if it's a long distance trip on surge... Sangotedo, Ajah, Apapa, Festac, Ago Palace, Ajao Estate, Jakande-Isolo, Egbeda, Iyana Ipaja, Abulegba, Agege, Fagba-Ishaga, Akute, Igando, Ayobo Bustop

Third class destinations, only go to these places offline and charge minimum 15k depending on the distance to the destination...Ikorodu, Satellite town, Ijegun, Alaba-Ijaniki, Badagari, Inside Ayobo, Tollgate-Sango Ota, Ibeju Lekki, Epe, Ibafo.

Hope u know driving rules...if u don't, go and read driving rules and road signs.

Have a target...Drive until u meet your target, no target no home

Be consistent, determined, dedicated and disciplined.

Comrades greetings. I have not received bolt inspection report yet cos there was a mistake in the email entry and a correction was sent to support by the inspection agent on Monday afternoon. Uptil now nothing. I am left to be managing Rida for now.

So can I go for another inspection? Will it save my time?

Talking about Rida, the second rider that I picked today after stressing myself to locate her estate, I got to her PU when she came out after few minutes delay the first thing after greeting is "do you have AC?"
Me: NO!
She didn't say anything again and we started trip. Then small conversation to settle her down and rain started drizzling and I was like Mek this rain no open my nyash o... Luckily it stopped. After we got to her destination she added 400 on the amount I saw in the app.

I remain loyal bosses.

To use for this hustle till date he is still enjoying his car with nothing to fix. Except normal lube service and suspension system. Bro camry will work for you but as a newbie I will advice to go for corolla to experiment with.

Raining season is here again. I’ll share my little experience.

1. Avoid alpha beach road patapata during heavy rain

2. Don’t ever try to enter down orchid road no.

3. Try as much as possible to let your pointers, wipers and your dim light working perfectly before jetting out.

4. Avoid places you don’t really know their flood level.

5. During the heavy rain, find somewhere safe to park if you’ve not gotten a trip yet park your car, relax for about 25-40 minutes after the rain Lagos gutters would’ve been cleared a bit to proceed for hustle.

6. Community road Akoka is a death trap. Keep that at the back of your map.

7. It’s a season to make money but then you have to apply wisdom because rider that’s paying x2 of the money would want you to satisfy them by dropping them at their doorstep. But if by the way(s) you suspect the area is prone to flood, sharply end the trip at the beginning of the street offer a rider 100-200naira for his/her bike/keke fare.

8. Try as much as possible to work within the Circe/areas you know too well.

9. Don’t do 80-100klm during heavy. Abeg if you don’t love yourself we do. Why? Brake doesn’t work well when it’s rainy just a simple logic.

10. Off your car ac when you sight heavy flood in a street or on any road. Why? Because most of our cars are above 10yrs ago and there are some components in which water must not get into on your compressor it’ll damage your compressor quickly.

11. Work smart. Yes work smart— don’t work late start early close early. Because you can’t know all the whole roads in Lagos no matter how many decades you’ve been driving on Lagos road. Working late sometimes is a death trap to damage your vehicle because so many bad potholes you might not be able to see are trap to damage your shocks, tyre etc.

12. If you miss your turn, maybe you didn’t calculate well or map malfunctioning, don’t ever bother to reverse never ever think of that. No matter how much rider pressurize you just be calm and let him or her know you’ll remove some money out of his/her bills for compensation. 200-500 naira is Better to let go than loosing your car to accident or road lions (Lastma/Taskforce)

13. Never drag road with trailer or tankers. Those people doesn’t see on a normal day not to talk of rainy days. Be wise don’t let rider sweet talk you to be saying they’re late blablabla you’re not the cause of their lateness.

I’ll share my own work ethics

- I work basically on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday it’s a rushing day.

- I take Thursday off to relax and focus on my course

- Friday yes and Saturday I start working around 2pm why? Well I feel like that’s when the people started rushing out.

- I work on Sunday but I avoid island ajah,Lekki and the rest once it’s 1pm why? When you notice your app you’ll see it’ll all white once is getting to 2pm because riders don Dey house but on like mainland there are many churches. It’s a wisdom.

- routes I avoid on week days are:- 1. Egbeda, Ikeja in the morning is dead, ikotun igando, ekoro road, command road, Iyana ipaja, aboru, lasu, okoko, festac, mile 2, oshodi, Ikorodu never, sangotedo hell no, I can only drop a worthy trip at the airport and jet out immediately I avoid siting and waiting for unrealistic trips in airport unless I’m lucky if I’m driving out and I get a trip.

After Opic Berger I always avoid any trip going after Berger.

How do I cancel? Bolt shows me where I’m going so whenever I’m sure the area is part of my listed dead zone, I click on arrived, passenger phone is not working or passenger ask me to cancel. It’s work like magic on iPhone but not with androids. It’s help me avoiding any conversations with rider.

Note:- I accept every trips coming to my phone no matter how dead it is but I cancel once I feel is not safe for me and my car.

I try as much as possible to select the trip(s) above 1500. How will you know a trip coming to your phone is more than 1500? Any trip be it surge or no surge above 8klm is practically more than 1,500. Note I don’t care how much you collect because of bonus but all I know is that the money is above 1500.

I don’t rush myself any day anytime my target as a car owner per day is 5k for savings 3k to start hustle next day and 2k for feeding/dropping at home.

Why 5k? It’s my logic and it’s been helping save maturely. I used to make x3-4 of my savings sometimes but then it’s just my saving culture I’ll still save all have made. I’ll just called it discipline.

How did you manage cash savings? I store my cash savings somewhere in my living room where I don’t tell anyone and on Thursday Whenever I dropped my son in school, I head straight to bank and deposit to account I don’t have atm or internet banking.

How did you manage your car(s) to serve you well? I avoid most Lagos mechanics 90%. Whatsoever happened to my car like for example let’s say shocks is bad, I will drive my car to market park and pay 5hundred naira I’ll go and get my new shocks, I know how much is leakage, shocks, brake pads, thyroids, fluid, bulbs etc. all I need is to change I don’t manage.

What can make a car to last in these hustle? Cars are like human being, you have to maintain them. I Do a daily routine before I jet out in the morning because I’ll be off sometimes on 9-12 hours on wheel. I check everything I needed to check before jetting out.

I make sure I avoid anything bad route. I don’t carry loads that doesn’t fit in my car trunk. My car is design to carry 4 and yes mini 4 not heavy make ups madams going to party and try to squeeze themselves in my mini sedan no! I don’t carry them I don’t want wahala.

Also, anyday mechanic is fixing one thing or two in my car, I always make sure we do it together. I don’t supervise but we handle it together because mechanic are humans too they might forget to tighten 1 bolt which I’m not perfect either but 2-4 heads is better than 1.

How do you manage a rider whose street is bad and you consider picking him/her? Well the logic i used is straightforward. Many of dead streets have alternative like bike and keke. I’ll put a call through:-

Me: Sir/ma good morning this is the Uber ride you ordered
Rider: Good morning I’ll be expecting you.
M: sir/ma I’m sorry getting to the street now, my car has hit the ground severally it’s a low Corolla/Honda please I don’t mind since you don’t have load I’ll pay for your bike or marwa.

Reasonable rider who value life and property will agreed and even said don’t worry just give me few mins. But i manage if it’s elderly person or rider mentions she’s pregnant I’ll go BUT if rider acting somehow I won’t go.

How can someone makes more saving in this hustle?
1st is Gods grace, 2 is your car is your tools once she doesn’t give you any problem(s) you’ll make savings.

Advice to newbie:- never allow rider to sweet talk you to drop him or her at unreasonable location. Avoid airport just drop off only. Never follow one way or brt lane even if you’re carrying buhari daughter, don’t try to reverse on the highway if you miss your way yes rider will shout but keep calm, make sure you confirm your credit alert before allowing rider off in your car, if you don’t have change offer to transfer airtime as their balance some will say yes and some will tell you to keep the change but remember it’s their money, use rider app to calculate the estimated price of the route you’re heading-it’ll help you determine if the route worth it coupled with the traffic, never fight physically with your rider some are walking ghosts, pay your commission once it’s getting above threshold, read signs, ask riders questions if the map is malfunctioning, join Facebook/WhatsApp/telegram groups to learn more about people’s day to day experiences. Last but first pray to God and follow your instincts.

PLAN FOR FUTURE AND REMEMBER THE HUSTLE SHOULDNT BE FOR A VERY LONG TIME ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN B.

Bye for now

God will continue to help us all

See! If you have 1.5m right now and that's all you have. Find 200k anyhow u can, I know it may now be easy. Beg friends, beg relative. Just try and get it how you can. I want to believe you can get a corolla with nothing or almost nothing to fix for 1.7m. Within 2 months if you truly know what you are doing with alternative life drama, you will clear that debt and have your car.

2018/19 when civic 04 is being sold for 1m, corolla naija used is been sold for 1.2/1.3m. Those that bought their corolla that year will be putting 1.6m on car they have been using same year. You can't say same for civic or any other brand of car. Do the maths... I am not saying we don't have other cheap cars, but some of us are mechanic like this by virtue of cheap cars. I so dislike Bishop with all my being, but situation kept magneting me to him. Now is Odogwu Roger!

pope191:
Fasasi1 thinking I am throwing shade at him, but what they fail to understand is how it all starts and how easy bile can pop in a short while. A bit or this a bit of that, everywhere don burst. Most peeps you think are fighting are far from it. @Fasasi just ignore them or us. For real they are bad blood here for real and the truth is kept under secret, it just take one with deep understanding to know needless going on tug of war with someone you barely know or hating on unnecessarily. I have my problems like every other person, I don't think it is what I read here that will freak me out

People here won't share experience, because almost everyone want to sound pro. But people like me, trust riders will still run with my money, I am never immune to it. Good vibes alone is enough to cheat me or anyday I've made enough. So it is what it is, let just work, enjoy ourselves and at least try to tolerate each other. Big up

Please guys very urgent I am buying a car for Uber this morning, I am about buying a Toyota Camry Mosul but I was told by someone to go for Corolla

lakoomoyi:
You must have had a very bitter experience in ehauling to say this.

Please share and let us learn, and please advice on alternative businesses to venture in with the same amount stated.

Muhammadson2020:
Not about bitter experience.

Take a look at yellow Cab Baba drivers on the road, you will understand.

There are better things to do with life than waste it on Ehailing.

This hustle is better of as side hustle than full time hustle.


That nigga should go and skill up on I.T courses, the demand for tech is very high in Nigeria and Abroad.

Remotes jobs that can fetch him good money better than Uber dey wella
