durability.... Uber or bolt work will stress any car, 5am to 9pm driving, Ac on, Lagos traffic, heat etc, while Honda will cope but with time Toyota will out endure the Honda during this rigorous usage.

part like suspension parts will also need frequent check and replacement

Sir, like how much is the average earning per month and would you advise someone to do it full time? Thanks for your response...

HUMANIIST:
please can we chat on WhatsApp, I intend to become a bolt
driver

Kindly share the tips and insight learnt here.

Please...

Believe Nigerian girls at your own risk. Watch what they do instead.

Nobi dem talk say na black and handsome dem dey like?

edo3:
Pls enlighten me,,I av a Corolla,,but my hands is not strong 4 driving yet,,and i don't want to gv it to anybody..

SchoolPedia:
Can you work in Ibadan?

Hello sir. Do you have a car on ground for e hailing in Ibadan?

BigDeal82:
Sold

Sorry to ask....do you have another one available in Ibadan?

Hello...do you have 2004-05 Honda civic?

BigDeal82:
Well used Honda Civic 2005 for sale.
Location: Ibadan
Price. 1.250m
Negotiable
Contact: 0902 519 6612

Is this car still available? What is your best price?

1. This is the wrong section.
2. Using #2000 as bait for people who probably make more 10k per day is not very wise in my opinion. If you simply made it known that you were seeking knowledge, I'm sure people will be kind to help.
3. Putting an ultimatum?

CoachOore:
Pleas I need advice. Bolt business in Uyo or ibadan which of the city is more lucrative? Pleas house I need advice. �

Bro, do you mind if ask you a question.

Did you study philosophy and finished from oau? I have a friend who bears coach oore from oau...

1) Choice of cars is dependent on fuel consumption and how intact the engines or parts are. Aside Toyota, Honda, Volvo and some cheap ones are available. Do a little search especially with a technical mechanic. But the better the costlier.

2) As I have explained, I purposely put myself behind the wheels as an e-hailing driver not because I don't have other means of income but to truly find out if this talk is a brainwash. FACT IS, IT IS LUCRATIVE. Larger factor depends on who runs the show.

3) I did use all the apps, each have it's pros and cons but you can look for the ones with little or no deduction of commission which are RIDA & InDriver.

4) Knowing the routes you are plying so you don't enter the hands of traffic agents. These will come clearer as you progress. Other things are maintenance of the car which is your company.

5) This job on a full time will blow your mind. If you are steadily doing it, you should be able to afford buying another car within 6 months of working. Be prayerful that all things work fine for you.

6) I will add that work at your pace don't be intimidated by others. Also be disciplined with the money you earn. There is a possibility you hit a million faster than what you could imagine don't forget to know how to handle the cash through investing and saving for the rainy days.

Hope this is helpful?

Wao! I so much appreciate this. God bless you sir.

I will be back with further questions tho..

Easyincome24:
If you won't be annoyed, can the question be posted here for all to read? See, no secret in all this thing. No eBooks nor voodoo. I learnt here and if it's what I can respond to, I will be willing to help within my power.

Oh....I don't mind asking here at all. I'm based here in Ibadan and I want to start the e hailing business in this 2023. So, here are my questions..

1. What car can you recommend (apart from the regular Toyotas)? Something very cheap to obtain and cheap to keep on the road.
2. Is this business as lucrative as it used to be? This is 2023 o. Like how much can I hope to make in a day/week/month?
3. What e hailing app/medium is the best? I heard bolt and uber are not as good again.
4. What advice/tip did you wish you were given before you started?
5. Can it be done as a full time job?
6. Any other advice/in sight you would like to give would be appreciated.

Thank you.

joetem:
Yes, super fuel efficient, and have self diagnostic system, you just have give attention to every complaints that pop up on the display screen.
The engine model is ew10, and the other one is ew10a

Would you advice someone to go for this car for e hailing business?

dru23:
I just discovered your post now .. Keep up the good work ,continue to encourage others out there. Me myself I have some cars on uber .. Elantra 07 and 08. And Honda civics 03 to 05 .. I love the civics so much, to me they are the best cars for ehailing .. Maintenance and fuel consumption is very low .... Below is the most recent car I bought for ehailing.... I will never go for corolla too expensive and your return on investment takes a longer time.. Even the Elantra is getting expensive to buy as a Tokunbo.. I mainly buy tokunbo cars for ehailing...

Good evening sir. I have some questions I would like to ask as regards e hailing. Can I send a mail?

Easyincome24:
I have been following this thread for awhile despite having my car, I was motivated to trying e-hailing from experiences and banters on this thread.

Here are few things I later realized personally, you are free to add or remove from my observations:

1) It is true one can hit #1M+ in a month using all or one of Uber, Bolt, InDriver, Rida, etc.
But one must know which works better for you. Based on my test since over 6 months of testing the waters, InDriver and Rida helps drivers to reach the targets due to little or no commission by the apps.

2) Full time, part time or no time, anyone is welcome as it is based on your strength. But watch your health so that you won't use the money you make to take care of sickness.

3) Managing your income: For instance, if I make #20k in 6 hours of a part time runs, #5k goes to daily contribution, #5k for home or personal use, #6k for fuel should there be need or some other times savings the #4k could be for any emergency. Note this may not be the case for you but it helps me a lot. I joined some cooperatives, also I do some piggyvest, cowrywise, ARM pension voluntary contribution, so some times, more than 50% of my earnings on a day could go into this provided car did not develop faults.

4) Mental health management: You can't be efficient from January 1-Dec 31. So you can't ride for money in 365 days. Except you are a robot. Take time to sleep, relax when fatigue sets in but don't be complacent deceiving your self that "problem no dey finish" know that every seconds wasted means money is lost. Go for regular check ups, or use HMO don't forget that you are your greatest asset, if you breakdown, all your dreams won't materialize.

5) Future Plan: it will be unwise for me to tell you that driving for straight 10 years without a car of your own, or investment into other e-hailings or other things that will compensate for the years you have labored is paramount. As you are growing, your efficiency is reducing, move on to other things in life using the money made within those periods of hard work to smart work. Don't join those who brag of several years of driving as hustlers.

Lastly, I'm still a baby in this business, but I know my target and once I reach it, I quit and move to bigger plans.

Until then, I will keep reading, learning, working smart to make the dow.

E-hailing is such a good business and could get you a comfortable lifestyle in this country. You will be able to afford your rent, feeding and children school fees at least other moderate lifestyle that will portray one as a responsible person.

It's a nice work the developers of the apps Bolt, Uber, InDriver, Rida have done. So we need not to re-invent the wheels anymore but rather for us to maximize the functionality to our advantage.

Hello sir. Please, I have some questions I would like to ask. Can I send a mail or can you help me with your WhatsApp contact?

horllarmighty:

You are welcome bro. If not that location is a barrier, there is a company specialized in IT stuffs here in Ibadan that I can vouch for. But, I don't know if they have a branch in Lagos or an affiliate. I will find out and get back to you. Bless up!

You're a MUMU and obviously an entitled creature!
I have a GIRLFRIEND who doesn't Bill me, yes I have a good job that she knows about but she has NEVER opened her mouth to bill me (we are more than a year in the relationship), I give her money and buy her gifts WILLINGLY and she has never looked down on any amount or gift I have given her. She has a skill that she uses to earn her own money and the relationship has never been centered around material gains but rather, we have successfully been able to build a strong bond that will lead to marriage soon, this same lady buys me gifts too!!
You lazy and entitled category of Nigerian ladies should learn to distinguish a RELATIONSHIP from a POVERTY ALLEVIATION PROGRAM.
The earlier you all change your entitlement mentality, the better for your lazy asses!.
May GOD deliver the op from entitled and hungry ladies like you!!

My Oga! Una get quarrel before?

The thing I know about driving is, all of us don't have the same style, we didn't learn with the same car, we didn't learn on the same terrain and all. Driving is art. There is no right or wrong way.

I don't like driving my dad because, if I'm driving slow, he will ask if something is wrong with the car. But, if I speed up, he will ask if I want to kill him now now... (Taiwo!! oti fe pami? )

It's your own ego that makes you think they do not know how to drive.
Everyone has different brain and manipulation techniques. The driver is the one behind the wheels and he must have done his calculations different from you who sits in a corner

There's a woman I know who would change 5 drivers in one calendar year. I once sat with her on a ride and she would scream at the driver..."see that car over there (the car is 500m away o ) are you blind ? Can't you honk for him?
And she would look at me seeking my opinion.. I would just smile .
The last driver collected his money by the road side and abandoned her there

Just at the crossover night , I was the one showing her how to reverse and drive out of a large empty space

Oh....she needed help reversing out of a large empty space?

This made me remember when one yeye street kid wanted to embarrass his uncle (not me o ) with further mathematics assignment.

I never sabi normal mathematics o! You come bring the one that is further. I immediately developed body temperature and told him to help me get water. I quickly used the opportunity to escape to the next house.

Na night I later come back.
