Hello Everyone.

I just got a Tokunbo Hyundai Elantra 2007 for Uber/Bolt/In-driver.

I have decided to drive it myself for a while.

What can I expect as a newbie?

How do I learn the ropes ASAP?

What's the income potential?

Any Guidance/WhatsApp/Telegram group will be appreciated.

Thanks

Do you have a valid Comprehensive Car Insurance?

If you own a car for Personal Use or Business Purpose on platforms like Uber or Taxify and you still leverage on a Third Party Insurance Cover, believe me. be ready to spend from your personal earnings or business proceed.

With Comprehensive Insurance specially designed for Personal Use, E-hailing businesses like Uber or Taxify and other Commercial Purposes, you worry less about the following;

1. When the car gets burnt, be it partial or total
2. When the car gets stolen
3. Accidental damage of the car, partial or total
4. Third party property damage
5. Bodily Injury of the insured or third party
6. Flood Extension
7. Damages caused by malicious act

Imagine a car of 2.5 million gets stolen and you don't have a Comprehensive Insurance on the car
Imagine there was a fire outbreak where you parked your car overnight
Imagine a Danfo driver hit your car on the highway and run away
Imagine a dispatch bike ran into your car

With a Comprehensive Insurance cover, all unforeseen circumstances resulting to accidental damage, fire, theft of/on your car are covered;

You get your money back or a replacement car (your car type) if stolen or got burnt. T& C applies
Your damaged car gets repaired without a kobo coming out from you T & C applies.

To know more about Car Insurance or any other type of Insurance, kindly reach me on 07056213630.

Secure unplanned for expenses on your car today

I'm not a veteran but i can advise you a little based on my 6months Ehailing experience.

Take time to study how to use Google map .

Always say a prayer before you set out as early as 6am to target people going to work (except you stay on the island where Ehailing trips are guaranteed anytime of the day). Please, don't chauffeur more than 1passenger at night and don't stay out late all the time. Whatever you do till 8pm should be enough unless its festivity & public holidays.

Expect some verbal insults, silly gestures & mockery from girls your siblings age.
Expect Agbero & omo ita to accuse you allegedly of parking in their zone (Yaba, surulere, Ebutte metta, Oyingbo etc) Don't lose guard. Be vigilant at Mile 12, Eko bridge ( at night), Mile 2( at night). They Rob people off their possession in these axis.

Somolu, Yaba & Lagos island have many one way routes. Always ask your riders if they're acquainted with the road that leads to their destination, so you could use their help to navigate.

Don't beat the traffic on 3MB to link ikoyi-osborne bridge, Marina & Awolowo road, Lastma officials are always seated somewhere looking for who would fall victim. Don't beat traffic light & Stop signs too.

Notify your riders on your preferred mode of payment. If they offer you bank transfers, wait till you get your credit alert before they alight from your car or discharge their goods.

Eat well, drink a lot of water and have some orbitgums in your car. Don't listen to people who say spending 1000 naira is too much to feed yourself on a daily. Please, patronize pie Xpress at Chicken republic wink. They make sweet & cheap snacks.

Sign up on the 3 Ehailing Apps ( Bolt, Uber & InDriver). It gives you options.

When you take a trip to the Airport' drop off zone', immediately your passenger alight, drive far away from the airport or use the parking lot if you want a trip out. No go dey do suegbe for airport, dem go sama you billing like Eyinola grin

Don't forget 'Grooming', the way you look says alot about your hygiene. Learn to take a day off to relax, exercise and brainstorm on your next line of work. You can't drive Uber forever.

Your best bet as at now is 8-11k gross on weekdays and 12-20k on weekends.
Make sure you check this space at least once a week to read about Drivers experience. You can chip in your daily experience too and we would have a good laugh about it and give you koboko if you err.

Hope to read from you soon. wink

And later, this car will be put on sale with "used by a woman" tag.

pope191:


Boss I completely go with you points, but I feel one of our major problem is awareness and mindset, barely anyone I share oil matter with, doesn't go with my point of view (they just laff it off grin).I remember this woman that came to buy Dextron 2 while at the filling station, the fact that she was trying to get 2 litres drew my attention and the "Amebo" in me was force to ask her, hope she's not trying to top over used oil? There goes the story... ehn! It's my late husband that used to get all these things. So I asked, what brand of oil do you have in the car before? I don't even know. Make of car? Toyota Camry. Madam take that car to an expert and let them do their work, but be ready to cough out 16k for oil at least... she looked at me with a straight eyes, like 16k for oil? Do I even know what am saying cheesy well! I've passed my service to humanity to her, the rest is her own cross to carry. I use the conventional oil on my car for now, and it is plainly due to ignorance. When God bless me with another, I obviously won't be trying that.

On issue of fake products, I won't patronise anyone that uses fake stuff to fix car for me, even if it is due to my ignorance, you should be able to convince me. My mech like a brother knows that and they are things he doesn't do... he won't hit the 3k5 hub for clients, he tells them to seek elsewhere. My first mech will change pad and all the rims will b so dusty after a day drive, the noise when steping on break makes me sick. I feel some folks are willing to buy original, but trusting the system is another thing. I once bought a kick for 13k, just to find out it is 8k elsewhere. Cheat hurts, but I let go of 5, 6k as long as you are giving me something that worth it. All in all, I'm not really into perception, just do what works for you and the brand you want to be known for.

Let me help propectibe buyers with s9me verifiable information.

1. How old is this account?
2. How many times have this account been blocked b4?
3. When is your DL expiring?
4. What's your current balance?
5. How much are you selling?

Prospective buyers should consider these before striking a deal and also, understand that it's a 50:50 chance. You can start using account today and it get blocked the next day. So know your stake b4 you put your hard earn money. I understand the country is hard so people must find a way to stay afloat rather than steal to survive.

And Mr. Seller... Why not gift sb instead of selling? How much would the proceed improve you? Just asking for a friend oooh... No vex abeg
