My OOTT, na joke i dey ooo.
Driver-partners are the crux of this hustle.
Whether owners like it or nay.

Omoapena:
lol, that cry is unavoidable, if you like collect 10k weekly, you go still cry.

Djdamian:
But why should this be the case?

Why should an owner cry for entrusting a vehicle to someone to make a living for himself and in return pay a certain commission to the owner? Are you implying that all drivers are wired mentally to cause pain to owners?

night driving sweet, but just avoid mainland.

Obedibombedi:
Bro, no be war oo.
Whether night or day shift, one has to be at high alert.

I have stated my reason for night-shift is cos I manage my resources better @ night.

- I have a partner I drive with. So we monitor our movements.
- We drive on routes with high security presence. Surulere-VI-Lekki
- We use in-drive only.

Will post more tips

Starboytwo:
wow thanks for the OT.

I got late few days ago and drove home instead of crash at a friend's place. I enjoyed myself, no hold up, no car, nobody, I just dey jam ASAKE till I reach my estate with my scottish in hand... Around 2am... Hence my question here... Pls post more... So you only do Surulere-VI-Lekki...

The partner thing is for security right, I be one man mopol tho.

More tips pls... I like night things.

well, not all but it's a rare case.

if you're lucky to meet the ambitious one, they tend to manage the car very well and also remit consistently but it's really a rare case.

if you must do rentals, there are things you also need to put in place to ensure the durability of the car.


1. be in charge of oil change. You see drivers, they really do not care about this, they don't mind driving that car till last drop of oil if you put them in care of oil change. you can always reset the car trip AorB and ask him to bring it for oil change at a certain km coverage.

2. Ensure you inspect and drive the car once in 2 weeks, this is to make sure the driver isn't rough handling the car.

3. Tracker is very important, infact, secret surveillance camera is important too, this is to know the kind of person you're entrusting your property to..

also, I will advise you settle for daily delivery, this will make it easy for the driver to stay consistent as many do not know how to save ahead of delivery day.


have a standard terms and agreement, the car will always be his responsibility no matter what happens on the road, he has to ensure the safety of the car and in case where police, VIO, lastma, or road safety Impounds the car for any offense, he has to ensure the release of the car.

make sure you collect a refundable deposit too.

this doesn't guarantee a smooth relationship tho but at least, it will give you some sense of relaxation and peace if you put them in place.

@the bold - no, sir.
That's why I didn't generalize by using 'SOME'.
Some people don't know how to pamper and take care of a car.
If you see the way they use cars ehn, and when it starts demanding for huge cost of maintenance, na there wahala go start.
Owner would be forced to drop huge money due to agreement while the driver balanced it up, whereas, drivers dey make x3 of the remittance.
As time goes on, owner go dey vex say maintenance dey collect all his money while him driver dey ball - but agreement is agreement nah - 50/50, 60/40 - 40/60? .
The worst of it all na drivers wey no sabi save - that one go ruin the car, the owner and himself and end in premium crying.

When I was doing rental, the only major thing my oga did on the car was buying me a new DC radiator (30k+ plus fixing), when the one inside got weakened, I took the whole of maintenance upon myself.
Na me dey take care of everything till I bought the car from the person.

Now, the question is, how many drivers can take 80% of maintenance on rental agreement knowing fully well that he's saving x2 or x3 of his remittance?

They would rather make owners purge the money out until he gets frustrated.

Mind you, na the driver dey abuse the car.

But some who get fear of God go give their owner peace of mind.

Some, not all.



Much respect, sir.

I still don't know why you insist of being an owner partner

Why don't you hit the road yourself, drive and make millions
Instead of crossing yourself your leg at home waiting for someone to do the work and pay you peanuts

Is this oil filter made of gold?

sunnymighty:
He later confirmed that it was an error, he meant to write 2,500 even though it is still not up to that amount.

This business really takes a toll on one's car. Now I understand my friend when he said he stopped cos he was using most of the money he made from uber/bolt to repair his car.

Barbiturate:
They will come for you!
Let me guess the line......"he's not using the right tool"

I have spent over 200k in a month fixing my car. If it's not engine, it's cranshaft or cranshaft sensor. Just changed tyres this afternoon. Got a trip on bolt to ajah for 16k. Another from Ajah to Anthony village 17500. I don dey happy say the day is going well until tyre kpafuka. 50k don go for tyre and alignment.

Don't get it twisted....people are making millions in this same hustle 😊

in essence, you're actually making money but your bad car is the one taking most of it, someone using a very sound car won't experience what you're experiencing.
