1) Indrive commission is 9.99% (just say 10%).

2) As a new person in the hustle, I go advise you register on bolt and make bolt your main cruise for probably a month. Though, bolt is not worth it as per say their commission is 25% of your earning. But bolt will take you to where you no know and that's where you will gather experience on your number (3) question.
In this hustle, lecturing won't teach you all you should know, experience is the best teacher.

3)...

4) don't click on a different price other than what the passenger proposes. If you see a ride with 2k, accept the 2k like that and don't negotiate. With that, you will get rides.
If you feel the amount is not reasonable considering the destination of the passenger, just ignore it and wait for more rides you can go with.

Additionally:
Yeah, there are routes you should avoid, but I know that it will depend on your judgement as later on.
When I started new, there's no where bolt didn't take me to.
E remain small dem for take me to sambisa forest. Ah! Bolt showed me shege and me being a newbie, na every ride I dey accept until I start to dey gather experience and picking from the experiences of the bosses on this platform.
So, you might need to register on bolt and use it for a while, so that you go know road well well and the places you should avoid.
Na the experience you gather on bolt is what will be your handpack to run indrive.
What you should be very concerned about is avoiding anything that will get you in the hands of LASTMA and those area boys.
Avoid anything one-way and illegal parking.
Well, with time, you will be able to identify the avoidable.
As someone said, avoid Ikorodu, Festac/Okota/Ago Palace environs.
You can only find me in those areas on Sundays (only) and the amount must worth it, and na once in a blue moon self. Sunday is always free of congestion and people move around for church fellowship - that's the reason.
You Wey never know your way to island heheheheeee, abeg avoid those areas.
The major armor of an experienced driver in this hustle is knowing all roads and locations, then other things follow.
The more you hustle, the more you know.
Please avoid driving at night till you gather enough experience that gives you confidence.
Much respect, honourable.

You are a baby cab driver,be very careful,traffic for 30 mins to pick up ke,don't pick any ride showing more than 900 metres to pick up and use navigation to get there.maybe you should hold on and get familiar with Lagos route first cause any mistake is unforgivable by lastma touts their penalties for traffic offences na like war.try and book ride urself and discuss with drivers.as per commission use your bank card to pay with the app. Maybe you should start reading from page 5000 sha.aviod satellite town at all cost and ikorodu.and the way you say you don't know your way to island is very scary sha no go, carry pesin go where dem no know.

Guys av just been thinking lately......if Peter obi or bat man becomes president,they both said they will remove subsidy and if that happens fuel may cost as much as 800 per liter just like diesel(diesel subsidy was removed a long time ago).....and if that happens festac to lekki phase 1 that used to be 5k,6k,7k will now be 15k-20k(will people be able to afford that much?).
I hope this doesn't affect the demands for rides.
What do u think guys?

Agonglo17:


You'll be shocked the e-hailing coys won't touch the fares

They will just request you drive more, via juicy bonuses and other incentives

Josephase:
When this happens, people will get poorer because salary will not increase and every commodity will multiply. Companies will choose to downsize so will all should be ready but I don't think removing subsidy will make fuel get as high as 800.

HonourablePomk:
Please guys, does not accepting ride request from passengers on bolt app when online just like skipping on indrive, does it have any effect on the driver on bolt?

HonourablePomk:



Thanks soo much sir

Please I just registered on bolt and uploaded necessary pics I was asked. I used to hear of going for physical inspection but I was surprised the app opened and activated for me and even I went online and saw a trip although I let the trip slide as I was just testing the app. Do you think I’m ready to use the app like that without going for physical inspection? As I don’t even know where they do the physical inspection.

And also on bolt app can I skip rides as I want the way Indrive does theirs?

Concerning me not knowing island, is it safe if I use google map and ask passengers for directions?
Indrive seems easier as I have done 3 trips within my area last week.

I have taken note of the areas you mentioned to avoid thank you very much.

Please is there a WhatsApp group? I will like to be added too.

And also bolt asked for lasra and lasdra card. Please is that compulsory?

Itsrm:


Based on current oil prices, 650/litre if the importers have to source dollars from the black market, 450/litre if the CBN gives them dollars

Glithronix:
@HonourablePomk
1) you can skip incoming orders on bolt but your acceptance rates + driver's score will suffer it and you would have to do extra job to regain those two back. You can't ignore on bolt as much as you do on indrive.

2) when you register as a new driver on bolt, you have a free trial period which is what you're enjoying now, you still need to go do physical inspection to become a verified driver. I don't know for how long the free trial lasts though

3) Mobile filling station @Obanikoro, they have inspection center there.

4) yes, you go need LASDRI and LASRRA.
For LASDRI, go to road safety office at oshodi. Take a bus going to oshodi and tell the conductor you're dropping at road safety, it's very close to that oshodi bus terminal.
For LASRRA, go to any local government office around you. I did mine at ogudu, across from Area H police station - very popular.

5) concerning asking passengers for direction to island, just follow your map, bro.
Map would take you to anywhere on the island, plus island has a very good and straight road directions that you would not even have to sweat following your map. Na mainland fit dey somehow, not island.
You won't get lost using map on the island. The more you frequent island, the more you get familiar with it.
All you need on the island is getting familiar with the area. That's all. Just avoid anything one-way and do not move around without using your map until you have gathered experience and know all the areas.
Them bosses fit add more to what I've put up here for you.
Much respect, boss.

Edonna:
why is diesel not selling for 450 then.... petrol will definitely be above 450 if subsidy is removed.
Let everyone start bracing their self nw because bulaba is coming (buhari's bad economy dey chop chingum were this one dey).
I thank God say Benin republic no too far

SeyiJay:
@ Oga Glithronix... just for more clarification, i understand these two items (number 4 point highlighted in your response below): LASDRI & LASRRA are basically required for Bolt. Are they also compulsory for InDrive and any other e-hailing app?

Contact you kwa?

Itsrm:


Could be legit. That guy introduced indriver on this thread. I remember how people were making fun of him at the time.

Maybe he has jumped ship and now works with Uber.

Anyone contacting him should just exercise due diligence.

northbird:


Very true.. remembered him and the Indrive on boarding then.
But maybe it's me, 15k after seriously labouring for 20 trips is not attractive @all.

Hybrid600:

Contact you coz na you wan share the 15k?
Make una dey careful o.

LOL, you people will embrace those that you should run away from and seek to lampoon those that you should engage with.

Thank you for acknowledging I helped you register on Indriver, did I collect money from you? Of course not.

Itsrm:


But the 15k is free money na. 4 trips daily for 5 days and it's done.

northbird:
Bolt don cast finally, they are now looking for drivers wey go brand cars for them.

Itsrm:


I didn't say you helped me register on indriver and I don't drive on any of the platforms. I visit here regularly and I remember you at the time.
