You are already more than halfway home.
For registering your vehicle, first of all you need comprehensive auto insurance, then you need to take the car for vehicle inspection ( I will send you a link for booking an inspection), you also need to download the uber partner app, from where you will sign up as a partner and be able to upload your documents.
For registering your driver, he need's to go to Uber office on any time from Monday-Thursday 8:00 am or 10:00 am for the drivers test, once he passes he will be sent his results by email (if he doesn't get the email, it either means he has not passed, or there is a problem with his application, I would then advise he check in-person), once his test results come in, he should download the Uber driver app and register, from there he would upload his picture and his documents (drivers license and any other required documents, I only had to upload my drivers' license). Once he does this he can go online and earn money.
P.S Uber charges 10000 for background check for your driver.

Also there is a chance to earn some of that background check charge back through driver referral.




I personally think this is a good idea, instead of deducting money from your pocket to pay your driver, even when he is idle at times when you are not in transit, you might as well give him an opportunity to earn more while reducing your own bills.

What if I decide to be the one driving by myself and not employing a driver, will I still need to pay the N10,000 fee?

Hello all

odutope:

Hello Oga
I am planning to go into this Uber business as a partner
The car i have in mind is a 2006/2007 kia cerato.
My question is that after getting all the required document and passing car inspection test, how much will i get as profit weekly after all deductions have been done ?
Is my choice of car good for the business ?
And again, can i bring my own driver or Uber provides the driver ?

Etfash:
Oaksfivefarms, can you offer N35k weekly for a clean Toyota Corolla 2004?

OAKSFIVEFARMS:
Hello all

Koval12:
I intend buying a Toyota Corolla 2012 model for Uber within the week. I am based in lagos. I want to know. How lucrativeis this business yet? And how much return am I guaranteed weekly?

toluxa1:


Great Job you're doing here Bro.
I stay in Abuja and I learnt Uber is not very profitable in Abuja like Lagos.

My question is, if I want to drive my car myself, how much on average do you think I can make here in Abj, weekly/monthly?


Secondly, what's this recent policy Uber brought that people were complaining about sometime ago.?

OAKSFIVEFARMS:

Hello, you should be able to make about 70 -80 k per week, that is before costs.
Uber reduced fare prices in lagos.
