You are right though, the issue is the business terrain is tough and driving in Lagos is not for the faint hearted and if you have not been exploited by LASTMA or Police before you won’t understand how to deal with them, coupled with how to position yourself tactically and all that.
Where do you reside anyway and do you have 30k upfront rent?

Tgiirl:



U sound like you need the 30k badly. I can loan you. U go just add interest on top. I m serious

cooldood:

Anyway I don’t call it assurance deposit, I call it what it is: upfront rent,not arrears,or where do they pay rent in arrears in the world? Why others call it assurance deposit I don’t know. If you want to do rental arrangement for any asset, I think you have to pay that rent upfront based on your periodic arrangement. You won’t take a shop space and pay rent after you used it I believe you pay before usage. So people should call it what it is: rent and if it’s rent,it’s paid before using the asset: in this case the asset is the car.

Kudos once again as you share your knowledge and experiences.

Nah Exam?

jideking:
Please the guys that use extended performance, is it the same normal filter that you use for 15k miles? Or do you change the filter at 5k intervals? (Is this even advisable?)

To my understanding the extended performance require an extended performance oil filter

ifyeez:
Taxify needs to explain how dey dish out request,
I ve been waiting for request for the pass 20min, another driver came to join me, we started gistin not more than 5min request entered his phone, he told me bros we go see later, immediately the person cancelled we checked nd saw the person was going to Lekki, I told him to calm down it will enter again, 2min same request came back, me am still waiting for request I done vex na to go house.

That's his business terms. If you can't accept quit bullying.

Plenty of drivers pay upfront with no complain.

radautoworks:
After stumbling on this thread and reading about some of your challenges, I wanted to know if you guys would be interested in some sort of annual maintenance package for your cars. Maybe something like 6 oil changes, wiper blades, a brake pad change and fluids for your vehicle for one flat annual price? How much do you think would be fair/affordable for something like this you in your line? Do the math and let me know what you think and if it gains traction, I'll make it happen for Uber drivers only. When you have maintenance you just make an appointment and done.
