GAZZUZZ:
See what you guys (drivers) have caused sis welcome to the fence.

Why do guyz blame drivers. Like someone said back then "The system is saturate".

A lot of know partners refused to see that and making example of those on HP to compare drivers on rentals.

It took me time to realize that those driver who over work themselves and screenshot high earnings are on HP knowing fully well that they are paying for their car

While a driver on rentals can not com and kill him/herself on rentals.

May God bless our hustle

They are known as the GPS crew… their winning formula is thus
G = Get up early by 4/5a.m and hit the road
P = Positioning is King
S = Speed Racer
A beautiful day last week.
You hear the experts in the house screaming its all about positioning, its all about getting out of bed early and burning rubber by 5 a.m, so many theories on how to earn the fat uber pay check.
On Monday I hit the road by 5 a.m, i wanted to ensure the big buck rolls in before end of day, did same for Tuesday, but on Wednesday, i was so annoyed for leaving the house after 9 a.m for the hustle, but surprisingly I had the highest earnings compared to the previous 2 days when I work up so early and employed all the GPS tactics.
On Wednesday, I headed to the airport, my first pick up was to Ikoyi, when my riders got into the car, they said they were going to Banana island, you know the nice feeling, that an instant request awaits you when you drop off your rider, the next request from banana island was back to Ikeja, (although I left the house later than usual things where really starting on a good note)
I wanted to maintain the momentum, so while, I was in Ikeja, I was thinking should I drive to Magodo, Shoprite or head back to airport, where can i Position myself to get a request as quickly as possible, while fine tuning my POSITIONAL STRATEGY, i checked the google map and saw it would take me almost 30 mins to get to the airport, so I decided to look for a corner street to chill, as I was driving I noticed an item, which I had wanted to buy in a shop, and decided to pack my car to pick up the item, after buying the item, as I was walking back to my car, my phone vibrated and fastest finger was at work and I accepted the request, my rider called, and she said the magic word “I am going to Banana Island”, (providence was surely working), (I don’t think there is any Driver born of a Woman that will reject a trip going to Banana Island,) interesting day, as I made my second trip back to Banana Island, after dropping my rider at Banana Island, I got another request immediately from Banana Island to International Airport, as I dropped my rider at the international airport, I felt though I started work later than usual I was satisfied for the day, time to call it a day and head back to my crib in Ikeja, as I was in this thought mode, the phone vibrated, uber magnet was at work and my finger mysteriously tapped the screen, the rider called and said he was going to V/I, all these long trips, this was a dangerous gamble, it was quite late, I don’t want to drive back empty all the way from V/I back to Ikeja, it was a risk I decided to take, as I dropped off my rider at Victoria Island, I frantically started to battle to set destination back to Ikeja, hell no Uber needed more drivers on the island, I just could not set destination, another request came in the rider was going somewhere in Lekki Phase 2, I almost wanted to cancel, because, I needed trips that will take me closer to and not further from Ikeja, but as I dropped my rider somewhere in Lekki phase 2 another request came in while on trip, this time the rider was heading to the mainland, truly the day ended on a beautiful note, earned more than the previous two days, sometimes we just cannot control what to expect, whether we start the hustle early or not.

No matter how you see it. Early morning job pays. Beside any work after that is a plus.

Example: I made 8k plus be 9am today... See proof in abt 4hrs.

So if I begin to get long trips like u said . I will definitely cross 30k

But if request is now scares from 9am and couldnt make additional 3k b4 5pm. Then I know I already earn a backup earnings b4 9am.

I will like to see your proof and how much u made when u woke up by 9am

sunnp:
I personally use 3000fuel to earn 10k at most on a regular day. And my cars do not consume more than it should. Thanks

My view for experience

You mean 3k fuel to make net profit of 10k or 7k?

b

Earn. That's gross

Gentlelife50:
Uber? If uber run for your dear life. Go to ajah or Abraham adesanya or even Thomas estate though u will have to be patient. But if it's taxify find a safe place and park since you are already at shangotedo

Thanks boss, finally got one from crown estate sangotedo...

But Taxify cheat me o. Trip calculate 2000 instead of 2,800 to lekki admiralty road.

I dint bother to do a review because Taxify will add the review amount or higher without paying me and still remove commission.

I'm at awoyaya. Roaming around for about half an hour all the way from eputu after dropping off my last rider to make up 7k.

It this how dry the site is. Nawa... Now I'm heading towards sangotedo burning up fuel

GAZZUZZ:
I uninstalled my uber driver app because of this. I told them when they pay my N167.4 Then I will drive again in my free time. For now they are rogues.

You na boss na, you have other means of cash income. Drivers on rentals can't try such. Even most self driver/partners

Rollitout:
7k produced this between yesterday and today

Is normal fuel consumption. Too many exaggerations flying around.

I ve once use less than 500naira fuel to get 20,000. How? some may ask. The rider requested my ride only to send me an errand. I felt embarrassed and told him I cant go except he wants to paid 20k just to make him cancel the trip so another request can come in, but

To my surprise. He agreed and sent a list of all he wanted to get from daytoner, admiralty way. I text my acc. He sent the money and I delivery the service all within lekki around 10:30pm

You see, I earn 20k with less than 500fuel and dont forget that it was the service I rendered that warrant me to earn that and not the regular ehail trip biz. So let no one make it look like the normal thing or daily happenings


If it is strictly based on app trips only without cheat. You can barely earn 10k with 2k fuel

I personally use 3000fuel to earn 10k at most on a regular day. And my cars do not consume more than it should. Thanks

Why were you blocked?

I could not login, so I visited the Maryland office and they open another account for me, only for them to blocked me after 3days saying account conflict.. Till now... I really don't understand what they meant. Anyways I visited their office again and they claim the first acc is been used while I'm using the 2nd acc. How possible is that.

Theire final reply was ' sorry you can't driver own uber again. Then I walked out of their office saying bye bye to 25%

deedee44:
Do you drive with razor blade sir?

Plus many cars without valid tyres

If its true, driver can easily be found. Taxify have history of all requests. And can track all drivers she has taken a trip witht just with her phone number she use in registering on Taxify as rider.

tukopy:
Nice one Oga Tgiirl,
you no dey use Uber?

No uber, uber don block me since last year sef

Finally, I retired for the day as I don't like to sleep outside my house.

What a great meal. Home sweet home.

Longest hour spent in a day. 5am to past 11pm.. Back aches like hell... Kudus to drivers trying this daily. A swear this work na hard labour.

Blew 7k fuel and 2,100 on toll gate. 200 parking, feeding at work 1200

Do the math

easynetsms:

Kainosdu:
I need to share this experience or better still advice to the house(especially newbie on ehailing) since have also gained from stories and experiences from people on this forum. I got a request at mma1 airport today, I called the rider a female to know where she was, when I got to where she was which is just at the arrival, I decided to wait for her to come into the car since she was very close to me. Before I knew it men of the underworld clipped my tyre as she was about to enter. I said oga this is my passenger right in my car that am leaving now, she was close to me that was why I decided to wait some seconds for her to come in. The guy said I was not supposed to park at all to pick a passenger. To cut the long story short they took the vehicle to their office gave me a ticket of 10000. I begged and begged infact this should be my longest begging if there is any grammar like that. I eventually paid the money. So please like I said for those just coming in incase you find yourself at the airport mma1 in particular make sure you are very careful and smart if possible use the car park. Those guys are actually terrible and heartless. You need to see the way the were impounding vehicles today even while I was leaving their office more cars were still coming. I even heard from sources after my experience that those guys themselves now make request and setup Uber drivers. Please guys try as much as possible to avoid them you may be wrong you may also be right they don't care at all.

Heya!... I don't pick up at arrival, but I have picked up over 1000 riders from departure ( ie the fly over route) you are allowed to stay 2-5mins there.

Next time, just tell your rider to come up to departure by taking the stairs linking down to the park. And make sure he/she is upstairs at the departure b4 going there.

Also note that for drop off, go to departure but if the rider is going to the arrival just drive into the car park straight b4 you end the trip. Park fee will be added to riders fare straight up. And you can wait there for the next rider to request.

If you are already in the car park before a request comes in. Don't drive out of the car park to pick up. Walk out, trace the rider and take him/her to where you parked your car.

God bless y'all

Nawa o... 3k since morning

eghuan1:
I have a Toyota Camry 2004 for rental, 30k. But I need to change the power steering pump and I don't have any cash on me to do it. If you know you can use the car to work for the first week so we use the rental money to fix the steering pump, contact me on WhatsApp 08026102558. Preferably drivers around Ojodu Berger please.

How can the car be driven with a bad steering pump.
1. The steering will be very hard to turn.
2. When u forcefully turn the hard steering, it will affect the steering rack
3. If any other thing gets spoil in the process of managing the car for one week. Who is to fix it. Same desperate driver?

Advice,
Get a short loan and get it fixed.
Perhaps, get a deposit from a driver fix 1st before he starts working with the cat

adeniyiHansome:
So soon!....not up to a month....on ehailing and i am seeing bed bug on my car seat already! This pple dey dirty like this and they order Uber? pls what do i use? Ota-pia-pia or Raid?

Once you get rid of the bed bug, go get seat covers for your car seat so that when next you see bed bug you can easily pull off the seat cover and soak in hot water and wash.

shollywendy1:
Rider branded me a newbie on uber simply because I refused to pause a trip while she was fighting with rivals at oniru. Hahahahaaa. She said I should go and ask . Tgiirl, teelarcruz, jayooh, slamstanlee, deedee gentlelife,brogxy,lexylexy etc. Even engr gazzuzz to put me through. Heheheheeee.

Lolz

jayooh:
Call them to notify and hasten up things. Last trip time I did round trip of 12100 for 6hours, lekki to ikeja environs and back same happened to me. Trip was later reviewed to 10k. Madt people

Now, this is the more reason drivers reject card trip on long trips.

jayooh:
Any trip that enters 10k will go to review automatically.I don't know why, but that's taxify for you. My 9900 once entered review.

And when will I be paid

3RNEST:
funny,

Okay let me share my short story,
I stopped using Taxify cuz of one annoying Driver, i order a trip from my huz to somewhere around Wuse, Omo, getting dere the guy phone refuse to end trip cuz of poor network coverage, okay i said let me help out, i kindly put on my sexy Hotspot to help this guy, he finally end the trip after 30min of fighting to end one trip, omo guess what i saw N1,300, round trip of N700..

I vex, i told him Oga im not paying, after willingly helping with my hotspot u come top up my bill, this is unfair he said bro na taxify bill u not me, i said no problem but we go share the bill to avoid story da touch the soul, i kukuma arrange N1000 give am to avoid gbege.

Sincerely i wasnt happy, so i stopped using Taxify as a rider i port back to local along, along, highest na N100 round trip.

Fuc.k Taxify, im out...

Big hiss.. Yeye dey smell here. Taxify nor uber are not meant for you. You want to spend 100 naira a round trip. Abeg jump enter #50 bus and same back to ur House.
If you are angry over below 20mb shared that won't even cost more than a 100naira, why share it then. You just weak na fa ... Yimu

Gentlelife50:
Is it card trip? If so na wahala ooo

..
Its a card trip, if na cash trip no wahala as my money will b paid as they were excepting 20k to show cos of the terrible traffic. Still rider gave 2k but Taxify decide to review d card trip and holding my money

So I'm home now. Dem don dull my moral, leaving my acc with 14k+ without the 10500 .

If the money is not added b4 day break, na to resume their office o

Taxify don start again o.. See as riders are playing with their phones requesting and cancelling trips.

I noticed Taxify have remove my 10500 and displaying "price on review" I did no review nah

JESUSforgives:
How una see this trip?

Too small.

mistadayo:
please how much is a side mirror. the foldable one. the mirror is still intact.

For corrola 08 - 2010 is 18k both sides

22Mikey:
I think i'm doing something wrong .. Last Saturday i drove from morning till evening only to earn about #7k after burning so much fuel driving from one place to another looking for request.

Guys do i just stay at a spot while waiting for request or i should drive towards surge hoping to get request. Unfortunately, most times the surge appears very very far from my location. Please make una help (Just a week into this Uber stuff).

Bros not only you. My last week Saturday was the worst saturday earning day for me. This year I ve never done below 10k on Saturday but I did last Saturday.

Look at today , Monday of all day I'm on 20,400naira at 3:42pm. And I brought 5k fuel, paid 1600 tolls in total, 450 airport car park

deedee44:
I slept at chevron so I got a 2.0x trip from chevron to airport, I had intention to return to lekki but on my way I saw village people's handwriting all over the traffic, I just went offline immediately after the trip before village people will request me. Chilling at home since

I'm back in lekki from the airport after 1hr 27mins. I followed eko bridge

pope191:
New ke! 2 months roll nd its a year, I know lekki is above 4k, but who do I blame? Even the review since yesterday is still pending, sometimes that energy to b dragging with 3 science students is not just dia. Sometimes the app favours the driver and sometimes it burn. The only one that seems to hurt me is when rider start dragging app price "I don't pay more then dis dat for trip like this", I'll just b lookin lyk OYO is ur case.

I understood you. If you re not going to drag with them. You could ve educate them by opening the riders app and show proof with the estimated price. Simply letting them go will make it seems right and it can cause a bigger quarrel BTW them and another driver who's phone display the correct price.

I picked someone about 3months ago and on getting to her destination, she claims the fare displayed on my phone was too high that she has being takingTaxify from banana island to kilo, surulere for 1,200 naira. I smiled and reply; if your phone estimate is within that range I will collect only 1200 from you else the 2000naira as display.

She checked and even lite is not 1200... Riders can lie!

Berger to Island traffic since morning
I hope nobody here is stuck

Luckily for me, I followed same route around 5:15am and got to admiralty by 6:48am and it was my 2nd trip for the day. I'm now at the airport, I saw the traffic from Simpson to oworoshoki . stand still. Now I need to take the rider back without following that route ie airport to admiralty road
