Good morning Brothers,

Thank you for keeping the thread alive, may the Lord bless your hustles and elevate you all.

I am going through some challenges, so I decided to relocate to Abuja. The main thing I intend to do there will start around June 2027, but I just want to go ahead and familiarise myself with a lot of things there(I have never lived in Abuja).

I cannot just go there and be doing nothing for 9 months. Consequently, I decided to go with a car and start e-hailing. I have read a lot of discouraging things about the current state of this venture. However, I am hoping I could still give it a tey since it is not something I want to do for too long.

The car I intend to use is a Toyota Camry 2010/2011. The car is in good condition.

Please note that I am not an expert expert driver. I have learnt driving since 2010, but I don't drive regularly. However, I have done some interstate travels of 1hour, 2 hours before.

What advice do you have for me please?

Thank you.

Bro, welcome. If you have been following the thread we have discussed tips and challenges we have faced and some we are still facing(bad fares).

For me the main thing that helped is i started in Lagos which i'm a bit familiar with roads and places, Its an added advantage

Jst sabi use google maps, learn new roads/alternative routes

Dont pick bad price. Be respectful, neat car, minimal conversation except the riders feels comfortable with it or initiated it

Keep checking the thread and ask questions, most of the things said you cant know it until you experience it. Experience will teach you more, tips will help a little

There are some places i have been to and vowed not to accept ride there again

The funny moments of all those years was later when he made a sharp U - turn and started insulting even those who initially were supportive of his blatant misrepresentation of facts for no apparent reason whatsoever

Many of them ended up without voices on this thread after then. I see them peeping from time to time and that's all they can do today

Hahahahaha. Yes I can recall. Dude became like a rabid dog attacking even its owners hahaha

NaughtyBrainiac:
Thank you so much for your input Brother. Yes, you are right, it's venza engine that's in it. It will consume more fuel than a 1.8 Litre engine right?

Yesterday i did only one trip from mainland to Elevation church that pistis conference. Stayed at their car park for almost 3.30hrs looking for dignifying ride before I blew empty 43km back to my office.

No be say I no fit run am cause like I explained I will profit but becos I have seen different phases of this hustle it will be a crime to plus thank God ultimately I don't need to.

But this is ridiculous from the riders app companies and drivers

See if we don't do something it will get worse ooo. And these riders are beconymire entitled . But some are very considerate carried one lady and if u see how she was asking me questions I just say this one na welfare officer for church very kind and concerned. How are u guys coping etc.

Just see lamentions of yesterday alone wey I capture. Omo folks using fuel how una dey do am

Men dey lament no be small...

When you enter Abuja, tag me so I can add you to our group on WhatsApp. There are lots of drivers you can learn from. Me inclusive. Abuja is not as profitable as Lagos but you can make something tangible and okay if you’re using your own ride. it’s also more easier to navigate here than Lagos. I be Lagos guy and I know wetin I Dey talk

Thank you so much for your input Brother.

1. Since I don't know Abuja, I hope the map will be sufficient for me to navigate and serve Riders well?

2. How do you think I can get a good and trusted mechanic for Totoya in Abuja?

3. The vehicle's Odometer is currently at 115k and the vehicle is currently saying "maintenance required". Does this mean I have to take the vehicle for oil change?

4. How many miles should I count for every oil change? 5000 miles?

5. The Vehicle does not currently have any form of security. I am thinking of doing that. What type of security option would you advise please?

I will be coming back for more questions as the need arises. Thank you so much.

1. The map will be sufficient most of the time. And you can always tell your riders to let you know if you're going in the wrong direction as you're not familiar with route

2. You have the answer.

3. You definitely need to change the oil.

4. Every time the 'maintenance required' light pops up

5. I don't know the kind of security you mean here.

Pls my bosses, I'm trying to use my car for Bolt but the issue is that I don't know how to use Google Maps properly. My major challenge is when I approach roundabouts with various exists, I don't know how to read those round arrows on the map. Pls, can someone guide me? I've mised my turns alot of times because of this.

It’s actually not hard, nobody was taught how to use map, it’s self taught and straight forward. Just learn from how you miss your turns and observe how the map works, with time, you will understand it very well…


You can download Waze, I guess it has easier interface.

Thank you so much for your response. I appreciate.

For the security: I mean anti-theft security. Should I go for those kill switches or Tracker?

Thanks, boss, for the advise.

this prices on bolt are really discouraging 🤧
week days no follow at all for this lagos ride hailing

Omo, its View once on Indrive. Before you blink dem don accept order. And if a fair order lasts for more than 2 seconds you want to negotiate na "Request already accepted"

I have not really had a proper car to work with.
I had a 1999 camry on rental, 55k weekly and all repairs were on me.
Ac was bad from day one, I managed to do the repairs but at some point I was going home with nothing.

The car tracker got bad and owner said I have to install another which I did.

I discussed with him to come in with the repair but he said no, I had to return it .
That was about 4 months ago.

Kaymaxi2222:

I am in Abuja .

Abuja prices are something else.
My best advice for you, work only Saturday and Sunday to save you from high maintenance cost.

Just imagine working on a Monday from morning till evening and your profit will just be around 15k average and if one thing spoil in the car, you might spend above that. That can be very frustrating.

I work only those two days and I make an average of 50k profit for the two days, that's 200k a month then budget maintenance 50k

It's better that way and use other days to look for something else to do.

Except when government is ready to fight these apps
