If I had known den what I know now, e-hailing bizness will b sweet.

If I had known then to forgo luxury over effectiveness, low cost and increase acceptability, the grumbling will be less.

Uber arrived nigeria with option of putting ur vehicle on the road and u earn money.

If I had known, I would have just done my kia rio jejely those periods. Naira / dollar was low, so landing cost would b good.

But I took luxury into consideration and look where it found me, more grumbling about this and that.


There is the luxury side to transportation, high end Cars, high earning income and low maintenance /repairs. But I will sit down for the next few days waiting for the next new phase.


E-hailing isn't about luxury - simple put e-hailing /ride-sharing is about providing the commodity to as many as possible at the cheapest fare rate one can achieve.


When any market gets flooded with different competition, the one factor to dance around with is PRICE.

It is left to you to decide what tool is best for that PRICE available.

Will you bring a 2014 Toyota camry now to the table to hussle within available PRICE?

If you had known back then and had more knowledge, you would have spent PRICE for a 2014 Toyota camry on 3-4 PRICE for a 2007 kia rio (luxury vs low cost) while trying to achieve same goal INCOME/EARNINGS.

If I'd known then what I know now i would not have bought a 2013 Hyundai Elantra for this business but also remember there were only certain cars you could use then with certain mileages. There are no regrets though, it's the cost of doing business, especially in Nigeria.

The car is very rugged. Ensure to fix any issue on it before onboarding it on e-hailing.
Note: if yours is less than 2003, it can only be used on Uber. Taxify year requirement is 2003 and above.

E-hailing in Nigeria is the most confused kind of business.
Standards decrease everyday rather than improve.
Even if you onboard year 2014 car on Uber in 2015, you still make your money very well. But it's different ball game today.
I tell you that if you know what you know now then, you will still make the same decision as you doing now.
Example, the least year accepted on e-hailing at the moment is 2000. But you are offering 2005 and above. Why? Why not 2001 or at most 2003
Why Kia and Hyundai products and not Mazda, Volvo e.t.c
My point is, whichever way you look at it now, is exactly the way you did back then.
You may argue that you are not buying brand new cars at the moment. But buying 2007, 2008 and above car when the entry level is 2000 is "Luxury" IMHO.

This decision is more of a VALUE based approach - it is easier and faster selling off a 2003-2005 car at second value than a 2000-2001


It is also a STRATEGIC based approach - what if app company decide to start again from 2003


It is also a maintenance based approach when u speak on brand - easier to get Mech for other popular brands


So if I had known what I know now - my decision making process would have been more profitable with more cars onboard

Lekki phase 1! 3 hours?!
Anytime you are in Lekki Phase 1 and a trip request doesn't come in 15 minutes, start driving cruising towards Ajah through Freedom Way. Say you don't get a trip before reaching Chevron drive traffic lights, turn into Chevron drive and cruise towards Ebeano there; cruise out again. Total journey time from Phase 1 to Chevron drive is like 20 minutes, I swear, a trip must drop in that time.
Buy Origin for me later

Yinmu*

I do this and sometimes request still will not drop. I go come begin regret why I no drive towards home(mainland).

Out of the 300 how many are good cars? How many are full timers ? Keep in mind rating helps to reduce a lot of cars on the road too. Without rating I think the market might be saturated. So factor in all these points . And for sure it is only the platform that can certainly say if the market is crowded or not. Because they have all data at their fingers tips. We can guess, but I prefer facts

This rating we always hammer here is over rated. Oga gazzuzz remember that Toyota Echo I sent someone to bring to your workshop? Its been on the platform for six months now and the driver has never been blocked cos of rating. He is currently at 4.7, better than some with corolla and Camry.

So dru boss, ratings no dey pursue driver as much as you think.

I knew this from the get go, even when people were putting big cars on the platform, I had always been pragmatic.

My only mistake was starting the business with Nigerian used cars. I even bought two at once. Had to dispose them after six months and start afresh again. But the experience has been helpful.

Do you mean you want a hire purchase where the total amount you would pay to the owner is 1.5m? If yes, bros, that's not possible. Consider being more realistic.

Apart from the fact that EOD isn't the right car for ehailing (Engine size too big).
Get a car tracker and comprehensive insurance instead of looking for a driver with condition 1, your weekly rental is already guaranteed by condition 3.
No experienced ehailing driver will apply for this, your conditions are ridiculous, except the desperate ones.

I had another reply in mind, but I didn't want to anger the advocate of e-hailing partners. He will bombard me with memes
