Need Advice On Best Uber/taxify Car by Kennyprince(op): 7:24am On Dec 23, 2019
Yes, compliments of the season Ladies and gents.

So this coming year, I have decided to try this Taxify/Uber business.

My problem now is which car to go for.

Iam considering Electrical issues during rainy season, Ac issues, fuel consumption rate, comfortability.


So pls advice me. My friend uses Toyota corolla and he is advising me on same but my problem with it is that he complains about fuel and the car always have difficulties during rainy season.

Which correct car should I go for and be safe as a beginner?

Corolla I guess

Corolla is still a good option, fuel consumption is on the low side

In term of value for money... Go for Honda Civic

Cheaper The secret truth is that the Honda Civic is equally as rugged as most known brand, has awesome fuel economy and the part is cheaper compared to Toyota ( eg Toyota engine 200k to 250k, Honda engine 80k to 130k)

And to top it up, the prices are far cheaper...

Honda 1m to 1.5m
Toyota 1.7m to 2.5m

Toyota corolla is your sure bet. You won't regret it. But make sure you contact the experts to inspect it for you before buying. All the best.

Go & buy corolla if u have d money
Unless money is a problem, only then u can consider other options.
Honda wasn't built for commercial use
They easily break down

Well it is the other way round for me... If you give me corrola I will prefer to sell it and make maximum profit from it due to corrola hype in naija price imagine 2m for 05 corrola

But Honda Civic at say 1.3m is the best value for money of the 2 cars. Trust me the 700k wey I save I no go spend reach am for fuel and repair {+engine and transmission change} if we both use the car for 3 years
