...
I was blocked the first month I started this hustle because of lack of orientation.
I was rejecting far distance pickup

Have you gone to their office?

ksmart027:
Have you gone to their office?

..
No.
I just message them and they say.
They cannot do anything.
That it is auto ban

Omoapena:
How do you win the bonus when they give you trips you don't wanna honour, which will affect your completion and acceptance rate thereby making it difficult for you to meet up...

Uber bonus doesn't come with such condition, just complete the number of rides and you are good to go.

Try and go to their office tomorrow, I have seen people whose case are more serious than yours, and their account is now active. Their office is at elelenwo Street adjacent to everyday supermarket, the close before skippers fast food Gra.

Ooh, it's uber, I thought he was referring to bolt...

Salute. Words on marble.

This person you are quoting has NEVER driven or been involved in the business by any means. just a loose sad troll running amock on this thread. Follow him no where in your own interest except if you want to be led astray.

Be bold enough to face your fears, hit the road and drive. Your car model, where you live, level of resilience will tell you all you need to know. Naturally, ideas will manifest on how to make the best out of a business that the profit margin is meagre. Honestly, there's no learning curve to this, no one side fits it.

Two things to have in mind;

1) It must never be a full time business, best as part-time or to reduce the burden of fuel while on personal errands.

2) You can also do it momentarily just to survive and get by with life whilst having a plan and timeline to back out. You must never be stuck in this rat race called ehailing.

Acceptance rate or cancellations don't affect bonus quests on uber

Read what I wrote well. I'm not into e hailing yet. Just on a personal trip . Just re read what I wrote

dapotemi:
You bought 8k fuel, just about 8 litres. I will assume you don't have much cash reason you bought just 8k and you're in Gbagada, then you face Ipaja!
Even if the Hussle no dey pay like before, you guys are making school boy error..You won't make anything reasonable with that schedule...
The job needs alot of WISDOM and SENSE now, you must calculate and recalculate ALL YOUR MOVEMENT, and do it WISELY.

Wear and tear. No way this won't creep up on you, but you must reduce it as much as you possibly can.

Because I started early I can close early. Usually from around 4 to 5pm I'm ready to go home. If it's been a very good day 3pm.
I take a break for an hour in the afternoon, I go grab a bite, if I'm around Yaba, 30 minutes, then try sleep or just relax for 30. If it's a day I have a hot hand I'll probably work straight through then be home like 4pm.
Also I try to take 2 days off weekly or at least 1 day. It mostly depends on how far I've gone with my bonus quests. Also like I've said before, mixing trips allows me some rest time after the morning rush. I don't like overly long trips, 40 mins max with minimal traffic, awesome.
Getting home early allows me sleep early. I try to do 10pm though I still struggle with this because I'm really not a sleep person.
I also try to eat, at least one big home cooked meal everyday plus what I eat outside then I snack a lot. There must always be something to snack on in the car, usually crackers, sometimes I take fruits, 1 apple, 1 banana and some grapes. Sometimes it's bread. Water is also a must.
My estate has a gym and pool which I try to drag myself to, not as regularly as I would like to. I do 5km on the treadmill and 10km of cycling. I do stretches too, very very important. This gym part is a real struggle Sha because man's be naturally lazy but I de try, make person no go "slump and die" one day.

Forgot to add... If your car has heated seats, my brother, use it. That thing works wonders for your back. I think you drive a Camry, just try it.

Ok great. All I'm trying to say is that you set aside money for repairs due to damage that naturally occur on cars. Anything can happen to a car at anytime. The more you drive, the more damage occur. So when you say you made a net of 25k after deducting every, did you also deduct money for repairs in case of wear and tear? The 25k isn't really your full profit. You need to have a seperate place/acct you keep money for repairs. It's different from your profit.

XGhost:
I can only speak to my experience driving on Uber alone and driving in LAGOS.

My goal daily is 25k net.


I run . Bear in mind my gross target is 50k (fuel 20, feeding and misc. 5k, take home 25k)
With fuel at 1k however this will have to change but I've only driven a few days since the latest increase so I really can't say for now.
Bonuses also work for me and I try not to miss them. I typically get 80k to 120k in bonuses weekly. I use it to augment any shortfalls.
As long as there are riders and requests I think it'll pay. The margins may have shrunk but it'll even out in the end in my opinion.

My advice is find a routine that seems to work and exploit it to the max.
Chase those bonuses, it's like free money. Even if all you use it for is to offset you commission payments.

But if 12k commission is taken from the 50k, u will be left with 13k and not 25k or am I missing something
The bonus is 6k for 9 trips I guess 🤔

Let’s go… morning drilling.

You need to have a seperate place/acct you keep money for repairs. It's different from your profit.

Of course. Maybe not in the manner you have said it Sha. I operate just 2 accounts, 1 savings and 1 expense. Apart from servicing repairs may not come for months and sometimes it just pours in like rain. I try to stay prepared.
What I do, for work that can be deferred, I push it then factor the cost into my target. So it could mean having to work extra just so I don't enter my account to pay for it. The ones that have to be done, we do, that's why saving is important.
Yesterday I worked on my AC, spent over 100k, but I haven't been working this month so the money had to come out of pocket, no problem.

Let me use the opportunity to talk money.
Guys, save o. Save for the heavy commitments. For the smaller ones, work extra. Those 20k, 30k, 50k bills. Work extra to pay them. To recharge meter, pay for WiFi, streaming, DSTV, small small work around the house or the black tax, work extra.
Delay those that you can delay.
I do 120k monthly Àjọ too, that goes towards my rent. Usually servicing the car and repairs, money for my parents etc comes from 4th week's money.

Get an HMO plan. Very important. Part of they reason I haven't worked in October, my wife was Ill so I was home for over a week. HMO covered everything Hospital Registration and consultation, admission, drips, injections ,drugs and tests covered except for 1 20k test. She took almost 30 injections and drips, I paid nothing. For 20k monthly.

The day I resumed, AC stopped working, compressor. Immediately after dropping off the rider I went straight to Daleko to get another one 100k. The guy fixed it, e de cut fuse. He said it's electrical matter. Called my rewire guy, he wasn't available for a whole week, so no work. I don't work without AC, maybe one day I'll learn to. Finally fixed it yesterday, but I'm taking the day off, I start work tomorrow, probably everyday till the 30th.

Like everything in life, there are pros and cons but you have to roll with it, remember "the rich also cry"

I just Taya reading all this comments and gbas gbos makes me feel like a veteran in this hustle.
I see bunch of lazy drivers with lack of knowledge and understanding of the hustle.
Gone are the days of dragging road & dashboards with pearl1910 & cheerfulgiverr week in week out to net 150k. Wake up early morning surge to island back to airport from island and shuttling island while Barbiturate ikejaman is counting bridge at ikeja city mall ants drivers raking money on island.
I know the hustle is not for everyone and it’s not easy to break even but this donbrowser generation of newbie drivers are not ready to learn and understand the hustle they just pick cars on rentals and two weeks down the line knock it. Plenty Cho Cho Cho and big grammar but little knowledge about the hustle. Yet not ready to learn from elders.
The same weekly target of 150k net of bubu baba go slow regime is the same weekly net of XGhost in this T pain regime abeg how e wan add up

Add the bonus and it's no longer 150k
Target during Aboki wasn't 150k either.
150k target was since "Subsidy is gone".
Target for 1k per litre is still being worked out

Leave that guy make e dey deceived himself..

now vip Uber/bolt driver e nor dey pay for commission...

Heheheheheheheh

I think that guy failed mathematics in WEAC!!! Dullard .


E-hailling business is dieing gradually. No matter how hard you hustle u can never make profit as before. Stop giving new drivers hope with that figures you achieved daily... Ur strategies might not work for other drivers in lagos.. (me and you know say u get another means when u take dey survive)!!!!

You can never achieved that figures in Edo state or even other states.. because of difference in bolt/uber fares..

imagine 40-45mins bolt drive for 6200 naira. After removing bolt commission and fuel money... How much profit will u gain from this?

When you car calls for major maintenance after deterioration without having any other side hustles to foot the bills. You go cry tire!!!!!

Jacksonfire:
Most people are still driving for bolt just to survive BECUS their minds has already been programmed to be slaves. They are too lazy to seek for other opportunities to better their lives. [b]Now aboki people come full the hustle [/b]with Yaris car... This hustle should be side hustle not wasting ur time from morning till night. Some drivers even sleep in their car over the night till day break just to meet up target and chop promo bonus.. modern day enslavement..

Ahhh! This one loud ooo...

Aboki ke!

Na him.be say rider go dey behave themselves well well.now...lol

No sir, like I said this is Uber because that's where I drive. The figures you see are after commissions. Uber only shows you your takings NET of commissions. 50k is AFTER commissions

Misery loves company, unfortunately I'm not miserable so you'll walk alone.

I now see why they still make us write IELTS
