Omo i just started again after some time away...Omo prices now are crazy especially with the high price of fuel, asides from the price on the app, I dey bill them extra, some of them understand the situation on ground and graciously give extra. This is what I did with 20k fuel. Before 20k fuel would gross 60k comfortably or more. Started this morning (came out by 6:30am) i grossed almost 50k with tips of 4k5. So I don go house till 2pm. The goal today is to gross 80k with 30k fuel. Something that would have been 90k plus. And yes Indrive seems to be better at the moment if you understand positioning and know road traffic conditions well, if not you go work for fuel stations.

Omo I am enjoying all this stories o... Chronicles of a Lagos e-hailing driver😂. Respect to everyone way dey engage this forum to keep us abreast in this regime of poor prices

Guys this hustle is crazy. So now I'm driving my sexy RAV4 and I discovered before this increase that with 20k fuel I make 65k plus sometimes 70k. But since the increase I make like 45k. Or barely 50k.

So today I didn't on AC and made 60k but mehn no be small war with two riders. I change am for them ehhhh. Told them to rate me one star if Dem like. Like don't you know what's happening in d country. Even if my ac isn't working and so what. I will park a whole car at home cause my ac isn't working untop shitty price and high fuel

U see driver come to ur PU and u r outside. D driver wind down hang towel for neck u still dey ask is ur AC working .

But mehn sun wan fry my head.

So actually I save more money not using AC cause inner city driving has a lot of braking and acceleration unless u r traveling on d express.

God will bless all genuine hustlers. Iz not easy this period but God will make a way

I understand you but the interiors of your sexy car would reduce in beauty and more so, didn't they ask you to cancel coz of no AC?

Kumuyiii:
I go give this apps dem till tomorrow to reflect price b4 me go join port Harcourt drivers dey give my own price.

This is very funny 😂...once I start driving back, na wetin I go do gangan be this, accept my price, or negotiate reasonably or go away.

IceColdVeins:
how much do you return ?

Wait I don't understand this your question o, this dashboard is mine for my car, I just asked that I would love to use anyone's car that is available for 3 weeks that my car is not in Lagos, I would return 80k weekly.

Eazilyfe:
You only use Bolt?

Bolt and Indrive.

flootintin:
I don't understand anymore ooooo

This folks are jokers lol 😂

This was for last month.i rarely worked due to the bad prices mid last month. So guys, my brother travelled to Enugu with my car this morning for something important and he's going to be away for 3weeks, I am willing to work with anyone's car for this time being, 80k weekly if your car is on comfort on Bolt. I am extremely careful with cars,I don't go for all trips, I would treat it like it's mine. Text me now!

Before this juicy or would I say atleast better trips came, they tossed ridiculous trips which i calmly ignored, despite not having much time on my side, I still wasn't willing to accept the ridiculous trips. One thing driver's must understand especially newbies, not every trips you must accept, the riders or let me say the system would adjust itself and the prices becomes better. Having seeing that the prices have slightly improved, I am hitting the road tomorrow, Make God help us.

Kaymax2222:
which app?

Bolt app, strictly Comfort category. I did 2 trips towards my destination as I had an appointment. Both were 20mins and 25mins respectively with the initial 6k net, the latter 7k+, I was shocked coz it's been a nightmare with this apps recently. I think the surge was a factor too.

I think the price was a little bit improved today upon what it was over the last 5 days. 6k net for trip of 20mins. Although I select my trips

Kumuyiii:
Tomorrow don reach oh, eno better oh 😂😂😂, God go punish these companies

I don go inside back, something must be wrong somewhere with this prices, do you think it is coz of Ramadan? Omo I don tire

Some of them are set up by NDLEA and Police to implicate you. I have and was never interested in their offerings. I dey always reject them asap.

dapotemi:
Honestly, I don't have a prob with your figure tho. I don't just like how you simplify the Hussle as if others don't know what they are doing! Investors are wailing, drivers are not delivering,a high percentage of them! If you put 5M as an investor in this biz today, you won't recover it! Except if you PLAN well!Those who are raking d numbers as you claim have one thing in common, LONGER HOURS! I won't advice even my enemy to drive for 18 hours, it's suicidal. I won't allow you drive my car for 18 hours a day!
To get a single trip of 10k on indrive now, you'll almost drive from east to west. My wife is now taking 5k on a steady from Alapere to island everyday. That's ridiculous! On 839 naira per litre, 12.5 commission, very expensive part! Yes you can still make ALOT of money, by driving 5am to 11pm! That's what most of you are doing but won't dare say it.
I'm making money but this is what I AM DOING! Better than trying to sugarcoat things as if indriver dey give you special trip different from what others are getting...

Nobody can drive straight from 5am to 11pm. I have broken down how I operate, from 6am to 12pm, take break and resume by 4pm to 9/10pm for 4 days in a week. Just learn not to take any and every kind of trips. Even if you work for longer hours if you're not strategic, you would just circle around Lagos with no aim or little money. Nothing is wrong in also sharing operational and earning experience, it actually helps too, don't just take it from a point of envy or oppression. This is what helped me when I started last year September or so, kudos to everyone who constantly gave advice and shared experiences.

cyif2003:
13k na ur money 6k na for bolt. D fee dey will show u is d money u will get at d end after commission has been deducted.

Nope, out of that 13k, my money was 10k, so they were meant to take 3k but the total spiralled to 19k. Up by 6k in total with my net now up to 14k and their commission 5k

capetownboyz:
I don’t know why bolt keeps complaining about my driver score.. I’m not allowed to check on trips I accept and cancel at will cause I can’t drive to such destinations, said it is against their rules..They will advertise a trip so fast and expect you to accept a trip going to Ojo or ogun state and you can’t as a driver cancel the trip yourself..Mehn it not really cool and the only chance you get to see where you are going to properly is when you are well leveled up in the chain of driver score and ranks ..I’m still at bronze lol ,just did a weekend trip after fixing my abs sensor cost me up to 550k ,need to recover this funds asap ..

I suffered from this too when I just started. Reduce your km to 2km. I think there's a setting on that. And don't always accept all rides, if you must cancel, ask the rider to cancel for you by asking them to get another ride. Or just tell them your car developed issues and they would gladly obliged with sympathy sef

Omo, at this point, one must give it to Bolt, if not for them, I for dey deal with those consciousless people on Indrive. For you to survive on Indrive, you must be highly knowledgeable of Lagos roads and timing schedule of traffic if not, you go hate yourself. Bolt might have higher commission but if you target rides well especially when there's surge, you would be shocked when you end a trip. I carried someone from Freedom way this morning to Apple Junction(Festac access road) it was initially 13k but on getting to there, it showed 19k, note the road was extremely free, coz it was around past 9am so we were literally going against traffic.

Nelochukwu:
Ave said it severally. It's wrong to doubt what people are saying dey earn. Always have an open mind that sees possibilities that challenges ones own limit. Not as competition but as seeing what can be achieved.

Realities are very different. Truthfully a lot of guys are hitting figures DAILY that if posted here this forum go scatter . Them don lock up dey observe.

Just do you

Aswear. Today I came out around 6am and worked till 11(time evidence shows on the screenshot), by then i was netting 56k from Bolt(Comfort category rides all through), I just jejely use destination trip on Indrive go house. I bought full tank and the arrow just marginally left the F. I no dey explain myself or reality again after today. I am coming out by 4pm again to continue again till 10pm. The idea is to always start early if you can, get a full tank(it burns slower) and position properly. You would be good in just 4 or 5 hours of work. Cheers!

dapotemi:
Lol, you better STOP believing all this guy's. Also for your mental health,don't argue with them when they dish it out, just tell them 'ok'.

This are comforting words to make sense of you not doing enough. But to be fair, everyone has their limits which is created by them. Don't believe everything but be open minded to see things from another angle and possibly learn from it. Other people's reality is not yours, vice versa. There are guys here who I met on this platform who are doing numbers you wouldn't believe but don't talk about it as this is a public forum.

ksmart027:
In ph, korope delivers 12k daily and 6k on Sundays. While ehailing delivers still deliver 25 to 30k compared to 80k korope delivers.

Just one repair, All your weekly earnings is gone. Investing on ehailing this days doesn't make t.

This is one reason i am reluctant to give out my second car for rentals, the juice doesn't seem to be worth the squeeze.

cyif2003:
Na only 4 days a week u use get this kind money... When do u start and stop.

I don't understand why people would want to argue with someone's reality. This was SC for yesterday and Saturday, I didn't work yesterday and barely did a trip or two on Saturday but I would cover up aggressively tomorrow. The thing is I can't work more than 4 times a week, I have other things i am doing, but any day I wish to work, I go all in. Early bird catches the worm principle works a lot for me, I start very early as 6am and take a break by 12pm, start again by 3/4pm and work till 10pm.

Biodun1929:
Nice. Please what car do you drive?

Camry 2010

Azertise:
Good morning, bosses. I greet you all. Please if someone wants to book me for 12pm - 6pm only Lekki Phase 1. What price is fair? My car is a Camry v4 2011, clean interior, perfect AC. And my fuel consumption is high at N100/km (N3000 per 30km). Please help
I work select days and my average is 70k with like 19k fuel in 8 rides.

@Vela01 @Pearl1910 @tobby98 @Kumuyiii

The question would be, are u driving him around for that time being or just taking him somewhere and waiting for him to take him back?

capetownboyz:
motivated .. did you get this amount from working on Monday to Sunday ?

Nope, I don't work everyday. Mondays, Friday to Sunday. Saturday is the best day for me, especially early in the morning, the roads are free, continuous demand but Sunday is cool too but after morning church service, demand declines till evening when it surges again but road is more free. Friday is the money day albeit more intense, you go work ehn and traffic go hold you die coz that's the traffic day of Lagos but if you know how it works and the timing, you wouldn't have a problem.

Contrary to what I expected that January was going to be very dry, I think it is not that bad, I did a lot of offline trips from people who I mostly carried during Xmas. So hopefully February is better. I already totally abandoned Indrive for now, their prices are ridiculous except for destination trips. Bolt is not any better but they are manageable, we driver's can create surge by not accepting ridiculous prices, it would naturally come up(price). This is dashboard for last month guys

Drivers, mechanics, manager, Wan kpai my enemy

But my God big pass all of them ...


But overall to avoid stories that touch and early grave, it is better for owner to drive him thing. If owner like make he no service,or drive rough. Na him go feel am with nobody to blame

I already bought another car to give out for Rentals but their excuses and abuse of the vehicle is what tires me out. Ordinary 70k weekly na war. What i did now is that I just drive my car myself atleast Fridays and Saturdays and then get better than what they gave me and my car rests better and no much stories. This is what I did with 25k on Monday, from 6am to 4pm. It's just better for me this way

Pearl1910:
Camry boy, so u think u are wise.

Lol, this is not about being wise lol. Their cars have relatively smaller engines and possibly or definitely consume less fuel to mine, so i can't just be taking ridiculous trips compared to them.

FATnigga:
Hello everyone, I plan on driving Saturday and Sunday with indrive app. I just found out my bolt account and Uber account I gave to a friend three years ago Have been blocked. I think it's permanent. Is it profitable to use just indrive app? Thanks

I can't advise you to use Indrive, the prices are so ridiculous right now, try getting in touch with someone who can assist you in unblocking it, or creating another account. No be everything dem go tell you for public forum. Go out and get answers to your problem.
