SpeedGod:
Good morning house,

Please I want to know what could be wrong with my car before I take it to mechanic to avoid wasting money . My car is Toyota Avensis 2005.
The issue is when I apply brake in order to stop I hear noise. The noise is as if the plastic sand protector under the engine is brushing or touching the ground. I have checked and there's no loose plastic hanging. Though my steering shakes when I apply brake in speed which I learnt is brake disc issue .

Oluwaseun, Gazzuz , anyone who knows it please respond. Thank you sir.

Well like said or preached.. Assurance deposit will not solve all the problems.. It will reduced it, once the driver is owning you stop him from driving the car or take the car away asap ..and activate the deposit clause.. The rest of the money he owns you, u can try and battle it with his guarantor... my case for am example, a driver was owning me 10k for one week, and he said he will balance the following week ...you know what he did ,the following week came and he drop the car for



a minor repair.. And he switch is phone off and he never pay the week rent of 30k.. If I
















collected the car from him when he owned me 10k and activated the deposit clause my case wil be different.. Now I have to chase him for 40k now, which I might not get... so I might end up taking an "L" for dis one .. Like I said half bread is better than none..

One thing you have to keep in mind.. By the time every partner is collecting deposit, the driver will eventually get tired of jumping from one partner to another.. Because he is aware that he will have to drop another deposit that might higher than previous deposit.. The trick here is to form a collective efford in which a deposit is a must for all car owners .. Now in Yankee before uber took over the cab business.. A cab driver will have to pay one weeks rent before he even takes the cab.. To rent a car in the states now ,u still have to put down a deposit, the car rental will need to hold your credit card on hold of a certain amount ..once you return the rental they take off the hold on ur card.. Assuming that you return the car in good order.. Now this is a standard practice within the rental industry.. So it will hard for people to mess up.. Same for the hotel industry... so if the partners on uber can collectively have the same standard, it will reduce not eliminate payment issues .. Similar to the banking industry ,if you own one bank money , it will be hard for you to open another bank account .. It will show in their system that u are owning xyz bank money.. These industries work collectively together to protect themselves.. But for naija only time will tell and that is why you don't see generation wealth been pass on.. There is no discipline

THE POWER OF BRAND!

So this morning enroute Abuja, my first instinct was to request Uber and I did so, after the ride I decided to compare Uber and Taxify. I was wondering as a driver why I didn't think first of Taxify?
As Uber as Indomie, as Omo ...
BTW is Taxify really more expensive as some claim.
I decided to compare

Dru, you are totally right on this. I had a driver that I trusted so much but he took my trust and leniency for granted. He collected my car on rental without any security deposit, all i asked from him was his original drivers license so he was driving with the laminated one. Since he took d car(tokunbo) on rental it was story upon story until Last week that i couldn't tolerate his stories anymore. At this time he was owing me 45k so i asked him to bring my car which he reluctantly brought, my car was looking dirty, he wasn't checking oil level and car engine could have knocked if driven one more day. To cut a long story short he dropped d car and left without any remorse knowing fully well d bad state he put my car. The next day i called him in a friendly manner that I wanted him to drive me to somewhere and he obliged. He came and I quietly collected his phone and d laminated drivers license, in less than 2hrs he brought all d money he was owing me and I made me buy new oil for d engine as a result of his negligence.

Yes Boss, Security Deposit a.k.a Assurance isn’t everything and nobody claims it’s a perfect system but as at this moment it’s working and if we don’t have Driver defaulting on pre-agreed weekly rental no car owner would be asking for security deposit from drivers.

At the highlighted words, Insurance covers accidents and if Na me, I go clear my car but the driver would be the one making the payment.

He can run but can’t hide.

Trust me, that’s when you understand the meaning of the terms of the agreement you signed and your suitable Guarantors that signed for you.

Steering shaking when you apply brakes at top speed is likely a rough brake disc. I hope your brake pads are not too low.

I'm not too sure of the other sound.

Na so village people dial my number today o, I no gree pick!

Started work at 12 ended my 7th trip at 6:35 I look say I don chop 4k o.

Na so people start to cancel request o, I log out log in close app, device maintenance, story.

I run comot where I dey time don dey approach 7:30, Na so trip enter o, from the place adeniran ogunsanya to ShopRite same street ₦400. But the value of that trip Na ₦4,000.

On a more serious note, taxify needs to do something about this cancellation, as I was typing this 2 more cancellations, that makes 6 within 2 hrs.

sometimes some people will request and they'll say they're just testing the app, some will request at 10 and day they want to book for 12. Which kain

Lol, someone once said on this thread that experience is overrated.
Not so, those of us who know, know
We've earned our stripes!

Na me talk am

It's all about the context of discuss.

We were not talking about driving experience, but prior experience driving on uber in relation to making money.

And I still maintain my earlier stance on the matter.

For me, if I were to partner with a driver for e hailing, my basic criteria would be

Pass driving test
Pass Google Map test
Pass common sense test
Pass Background and guarantor check
Can pay weekly rental upfront or assurance deposit

With these, I would easily drop my car without requiring prior experience driving on uber or taxify.

Okay let's say from third mainland bridge, there's a bend before rilwane road. I slow to the extent that other vehicles will even be overtaking me with ease. I knew something is wrong my brother, just can't place it. Sometimes the vehicle goes one side as if you have a flat tire and after some it returns to normal and balance. Later may start again or transfer to the other side. Lol. Village people right?
