Those surge goes off after 1mins, it becoming more difficult to make money with Uber, there are plenty of cars now.

I'm in Yaba area, still hardly get request.

ok

entparrot:
Request has been extremely low lately, during the week days you stay up to 30mins no request.

your location might be the problem. this is a screenshot from 2 mins ago.

iseee. amin. amen. ameeeen.

juliabocn:
Thank you sir, have been thinking of this for close to 1 month cux when I go on private trips myself , my pocket always cry for me LOL

you are welcome.

my first car on uber was a 2007 camry 3.5L v6.

spent 9k daily on fuel. and that was when uber hadnt reduced fares.

juliabocn:
Good Morning house,
Please is it advisable to use my 2006 Toyota Highlander 3.3 engine on uber considering the fuel and other maintenance, the Jeep is been used as my personal car too so I'm considering making money through uber/taxify.
Thanks you all.

No.

better you sell it and buy a fairly nigerian used clean corolla.

fuel costs will frustrate you.

Sirdave333:
Hi guys, have been following this trend for a while now, pls I need a candid advice. I want to start driving Uber buh all I can afford for now is a toyota camry 2001 drop light, pls can I use it for Uber. Pls advise me. Thanks

you can use it for uber. but for your own sake and for the sake of your ratings, make sure that it's a 2001 camry XLE with leather seats and full options. Else you will receive a lot of cancellations.

yellow cab taxi drivers are stepping up from Camry drop light and uber is using a drop light?

there has to be something special about your drop light. else i am sorry for your ministry .

ihimiray:
bros what about Toyota corolla 2004,is it cool for riders

corolla 03 - 07 is same body shape. most riders are cool with it.

the best corolla 04 for riders is corolla S.

toyclicks:
[sup][/sup]

Guys, what should be a fair charge from Iwaya to Badagry. I am enroute. How much do I charge them

It's an offline trip. Taxify

get an estimate from the rider app. then charge them 1.5x

wasiusalvador:
For a toyota 2000.35k is good to go. If available call me on 08023943110.

35k isnt the problem. the problem is which rider will enter your 2000 corolla?

kolnel:
Hi guys Pls what do you guys think about year 2000 Corolla What will be the expected earnings
Thanks

alstarmayo:
You met someone that makes 600k a month on Uber, you make 150k a week, so that's 600k a month too now, why are you saying it like it's a big deal.

I rest my case

it's a big deal because people are making money while you lot keep saying it's impossible.

it's high time you lot kept quiet about earnings on this thread because even with the taxify none of you have anything to show for it.

keep quiet and just observe

lexylexy:
lol, omo na where the money dey I dey find o. Whether Uber or taxify, as long as I can see above 100k per week, am ok

120 - 130k weekly is overly possible on both platforms. driving on any of them pans out to be the same thing. One has more riders, one has higher fares.

the strategy to be used on taxify to make over 120k is the strategy employed when uber used to be expensive.

brain work. not for lazy people..

i intentionally no longer reply to anyone whose thinking is on the negative integer. i only reply people who exude positivity.

last saturday i met up with a guy on this thread who makes almost 600k monthly on uber alone. he doesnt even post on this thread.

lazy people can keep quoting me to talk nonsense and make excuses while smart people are using their brains.

lexylexy:
yeah you did, but you only made 65k. Are you making up to 100k now?

Does he look like someone that can make 100k?

all talk no action. claiming he does part time while talking trash.

if the registration number ends in CC it was registered in 2014
cant be 2 months used.

xana101:
2015 car on uber? The person must be a big business fool

business fool?

the amount of offline trips that car would get him would be more than what he would make on uber in a week.

keep sleeping while wise people are making money.

elninosanz:
I have been following this thread for a while now, but i don't contribute. However, i feel it is imperative to comment now because there are some misconceptions going around. People have been abusing Romeo for sometime now and i think people are being unfair. Uber is still profitable, but it requires smartness and wisdom to make money. I have attached my last week earnings to prove my point(Note that i didn't include my offline trips, and also i didnt work on Sundays as i use Sundays to rest). I have posted some guidelines below to help you increase your earnings)

1. Try to work on the Island from around 4am to 12noon(Infact if possible, work majorly on the Island because of the Surge). There is almost always surge around the Lekki axis. Use your destination trip to get there. If a rider takes you away from the Island, use the destination trip to take you back.

2. If your rider is going to an area where Uber does not operate e.g Ikorodu, Badagry, Ibeju Lekki. Politely ask that they do the trip offline. If they refuse cancel the trip

3. Immediately you get a request, call the rider and ask where they are going to. If the distance they are going is shorter than the distance it will take you to pick them up, cancel immediately

4. Related to the point above, if you are in a surge area and you receive a request out of the surge area, cancel immediately

5. If a rider tells you that you will have to wait for him/her to buy or pick up something, politely ask how long. If you have to wait for a rider for more than 15mins, politely explain to them that Uber does not pay you for waiting. If you have a nice attitude, they will most likely pay you more than the fare. If they insist on not giving you extra and they are rude about it, then gently tell them that you will give them 20mins, if they are not back by then, end the trip and ask Uber for your money. They will pay you back (Note tha this will probably affect your rating so don't do this often)

6. Target long trips especially during surge. Uber does not allow you know where a rider is going, but you can time yourself to receive long trips. For example, if you go to VI/Lekki area area from 4.30am to 6am, you will almost always receive an airport trip during surge time.

7. When it is raining, make sure you are on the road. There is always surge when it rains

8. Take advantage of Uber promotions. Try to always drive in areas and around the time that will allow you take advantage for Uber promotions. if you need to rearrange your working hours to make it happen for that week, then do it. For instance last week Uber promotions was from 12noon to 4am. I made sure that i was working around that time, so unless there was surge before 12 noon i didnt work

9. Be nice to your riders and engage them in meaningful conversations if you can, you will get good tips if you do

10. Finally, maximise Fri- Mon. Those are the peak days on Uber. People do long trips then, and there is increased demand.

If you follow the above, you will make enough money to make you comfortable. Hope this helps someone

thank you man.

i have been vindicated.

alstarmayo:
We only see screenshots of money made on Uber on weeks that are good, we didn't see any last week.

I will not put my 2013 corolla on the road to be making small chops, Uber works for Romeo, let him continue with them. We all need to understand it's not about making money to sustain the business, we also have to recoup our investment over a reasonable amount of time

last night i saw a 2015 Elantra and a 2015 camry on uber and someone is here talking of 2013 corolla as if he is doing anyone any favours.

jpworld:
Lol

You mean to say drivers need surge to even make little income. 8hours for 4500, minus fuel money, that means you are loosing.

Sometimes u go to surge area, you won't get any request.

What I'm seeing now is Uber has flooded Lagos Road with a lot of cars, @the end all drivers will struggle to meet up.

surge has always been part of the deal. even before the fare reduction.

the only way you wont get a request in a surge area is if you are fond of cancelling trips and if your acceptance rate is low.

if drivers are struggling to meet up on uber, they should either move to taxify or sell off their cars. anyday i see a small sign that uber would give me the slightest stress, i will move on. i dont believe in all talk and no action.

is uber the only platform?


like i said, the end game is make money.

the end point of this game is to make money. if you believe you arent going to make money, park your car at home, or sell it and invest in something else.

Driving isnt for everyone. Ability to drive doesnt make you an uber driver.

why wouldnt you want to protest when you arent remitting money to anyone weekly?

lol. funny people. so a driver on a weekly rental or HP should renege on his agreement with owner of the vehicle and park someones car to protest, because at the end of the week you will give him money to pay his weekly rental?

according to an uber survey some months ago, ajah has the largest number of uber riders. position yourselves to take advantage of the situation.

no one thought me these things. i only learnt from experience. life is never easy for any one. we just have to keep on looking for ways to maximize our current situation.

if we keep complaining a solution will never come. you need to know the amount of drivers on uber and on taxify. they all want to make money. but the truth is that they all cannot make 100k a week because they are all not having the same level of smartness and intuition.

when uber had not reduced the price. many drivers were not making 100k a week.

taxify is more expensive than uber, still most taxify drivers dont make 100k a week.

you need to set yourself apart if you are going to be successful.

if you say you are leaving uber today and joining taxify, your situation may also not change. its not about taxify or uber. its about you.

if i join taxify today i'll make nothing less than 150k a week. because i know how to.
