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.

northbird:
There are low fares on Comfort too. Most times, you don't observe.. Cross examine the distance with your fares. Do you get 550-600/ km on the so called Comfort..?

I don't pick any kinda comfort rides. And positioning too is vital. With 5 quality rides on comfort, you're good for the day and your car rests instead of needless running about Lagos on ridiculous prices. My car is Camry 11 V4, I no fit dey compare myself with Suzuki or Corolla boys, and it makes more sense when you own the vehicle yourself.this is my first trip today, from Canal Estate(Ago/Cele) to Access bank HQ, VI. I would do some short trips here in VI to Lekki 1 then Ikoyi then straight to Airport. I go rest again and come out for those going home. May God help us jare

brownemmanuel43:
Na d last price sir

Ok dear

Azertise:
This days I dey quick off my bolt app.
I could go online and next thing stupid prices, and because my acceptance rate is at 53% I can't decline too much. I'm always happy when I see order accepted by another driver. Two times in a row I don off app or switch to strictly comfort.

I don't know how you guys do it o but i am strictly on comfort. I don't even change it at all. If I need a destination trip I use Indrive, with 5 very nice trips especially long ones, you're good for the day

brownemmanuel43:
Brand New Phone 17 pro max up for grab
Location: Iyana Ipaja
Price 2.2m

How much last chief?

ReadaDream:
Bolt abeg now.. I've declined this nonsense 2ce

This price is too ridiculous

Shimmaa:
How sure are you with this information cox I know dangote delivers fuel directly to all MRS filling station across the nation and for the Mobil, I doubt if any Mobil both the one outside and inside can sell fake oil cox they get supplied directly from HQ and I don't think Mobil sell franchise without regulating their operations.

Yes that is meant to be the framework but that is not the case with many MRS stations, the aspect of Dangote supplying them is not yet fully implemented, I was at one MRS station on the mainland and the tanker that came to deposit fuel for them didn't have any insignia of Dangote group. It is not even in the quality this time as most of them do get directly from. Dangote( save for those who still mix it) it is about the compromise on the meter system

capetownboyz:
Hello I’m hitting the road soon as a Uber driver as a means to offset one’s current bill and economic recession..I will be driving from Ikeja .. pls if you got any advice for me to aid my confidence in this job pls do share ..have read through the group chats for a while now and I’m quite encouraged by you guys resilience in this business ..I pray the road will be good with me cause normally I get tired easily driving on Lagos road and I’m not too conversant with the Lagos road except heading to few high brow area but I guess google map will be my partner for a while until I get used to this roads ..I hope this job is exciting and most especially encouraging financially, I guess I will find out by myself..

Always central lock your car first thing first, if confused of where to follow, you can ask passersby, don't ever park or pick people on the road especially in unfamiliar places. Obey traffic rules, one way is a serious traffic offense in Lagos now. Just go at your own pace, no rush, weekend would be more better for you sha. Good luck!

PeaceMaker24:
All fakes, thanks though

Get it from reputable Mobil filling stations on major highways/roads like the one at Ahmadu Bello Way, Awolowo Way, the one on Ozumba Mbadiwe and Ikeja. Those Mobil stations inside close, streets and off roads mostly sell fake oil/palm oil...Just like for MRS, all are selling for the price of 739, but not all have complete meters, the ones with complete meters are only but a few like the one on Ahmadu Bello Way is very complete, one on that Festac Access road, the one on the road to Ojota to mention but a few. This observation is as a result of experience and experiments.

DenreleDave:
We are available... Sorry I have not been able to post today..... Nairaland anti spm boot don start him whalaha again.. I no wan spell am completely make i no chop another beans

I am interested in the second slide, the both of them. How much?

Jamie90:
Please bosses, if my temporary DL expired and I had it extended, what do I submit for bolt registration. The extension was written at the back and bolt doesn’t recognize it.

Go to their office in Lekki phase 1

Avoid Cele Bus stop towards Oshodi

Kumuyiii:
Use this week rest comrades, things should pick up next week when offices, businesses and schools open. Na useless prices dey outside, no stress ur car.

To be honest, prices are funny, you rarely get good prices except offline trips, hopefully it gets better from this weekend down to next week

Dabadwela:
Very nonsense comment

If I even see good job wey dey pay 1m monthly for Naija with good severance and pension package, I go leave Uber work without thinking twice

If I come be billionaire,wetin go stop me from traveling on vacation to other countries?

Na real nonsense talk

As in ehn, if not for our bad government, Naija is one of the coolest places to be. Asides from Eastern Europe which is cold and very racist, the rest of Europe is a mess especially UK with their terrible PM and that Mayor of London. The crimes are increasing daily at an alarming rate due to influx of satanic jihadist sympathisers from Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan, even US was on the brink of collapse if not for the timely emergence of Trump, their borders was porous and major cities were not safe, abeg make we rest, if you get a winning strategy in Nigeria that make you a billionaire, what are you looking for outside if not for vacation, even healthcare as a billionaire or a relatively rich person, you can afford first class medical services. Abeg abeg!

Kumuyiii:
You dey ur room take know say my only reason for suggesting japa na for greener pasture, you see some of una no jus get sense.... I'll choose to live pay check to pay check in Switzerland than a billionaire in Nigeria. Some of U don't see past ur nose na why you no fit understand my comment.

Nonsense comment, so you would prefer to live paycheck to paycheck in Switzerland than be a billionaire in Nigeria? Lol joker!

PuZZyNegro:
And this is what I got after reporting. This Indrive is total rubbish. All their support staff are Indians who don't understand the Nigeria market.

I uninstalled Indrive and installed it back yet they wouldn't let me create or even log in with another phone number on the same device.

Please, anyone knows how I can get around this

My question to you is why you report yourself? What was the aim?

Azertise:
Abeg bosses, is acceptance rate important? What's the lowest pls? I'm currently on 84% acceptance rate and 95% driver score

Don't go below 50% for both

Kumuyiii:
Leave am, i don stop to dey follow anyone argue for here... People wey just start d work go dey misyarn, instead make dem ask for way.

I don't even argue no more, nothing to prove to anyone, just go at your own pace

Biodun1929:
Yeah, I was banned/restricted. I can't even remember what I did. But when I installed the app on Saturday, I saw that I had been unbanned. And then I went to pick up my first rider, only to run into a crazy issue. The woman said the car on the app isnt the one I came with. And then I remembered that I had switched cars on Bolt when I bought a new car, but Bolt didnt accept my new car, and the old car (that I already sold was the one still showing on the app).

Anyway, I will go and do Bolt inspection for the car and any other things that might be having them restrict me. I need that Bolt Surge money.

Ok I understand, go today and do inspection, surge 2 days to Christmas would be crazy. Cheers!

Biodun1929:
Good day all...let me share my 24 hour experiment with you guys.

I needed 150k for something today, and I decided to drive for 24 hours straight. I dont advise anyone to do this, but I was just in a serious situation I needed to get out of and that was my motivation for it.

I didn't go 24 hours, as I started feeling sleepy around the 22nd hour. I started my day at 12pm, looking for the MRS station with the cheapest fuel in my area I found one that was selling for 790, and I bought 28k (35 litres) fuel to start with. I bought fuel again at night time (15k fuel), and then I bought 12k fuel at 5 am at NNPC Ikoyi (Alfred Rewane road).

I drove from 12:30pm yesterday (Sunday, 21st), to 10:30am today (Monday, 22nd.) I had a 2 hour break, which i planned to use for sleep around 10pm. But the reason I needed the 150k for kept me restless. So, technically I was behind the steering for 20 hours. I used a total of 55k fuel, and I made 171k from the 2 apps i use (Indrive and Uber). 171-55 = 116k. By the way, the 12 trip quest is completed on uber gave me a 22k boost in earnings.

I could write a novel on the last 24 hours...the drama with some passengers, the crazy stories I heard some girls share, the crazy car and bike show at CMS, the opulence I saw at these girl's house I went to. Imagine driving into a simple looking house in Ikoyi and seeing 3 Rolls Royce Phantoms and a Range Rover in their garage. People get money for this naija o.

Wow!.
Is there any reason why you're not on Bolt?

Shimmaa:
Trick for this season?

You don't need any trick
This is bolt and I did about 40k on indrive with 25k.
Started work around 1pm, closed 11pm

Total net 180k

Fuel 25k

I told them 200k net was possible this surge season especially on a day like Sunday they nearly chew me up. I wished I worked today to show evidence but there's no need, let everyone go at their own pace but make sure to make the most of the season and most importantly save.

chillex8:
I have an Asian spec 08 civic.
Single user since purchase from Honda place, VI.
You can contact me in January

Why in January? And how much is it going for?

Jeoman:
Una don start o, 200k net. Please calm down before you mislead people here

I have nothing to prove to you, that's my own reality. You're also free to share yours. For Bolt there's a 25k bonus after 11 rides. I work from 6am to 10pm with intermittent break. Na everybody sabi wetin him dey pursue and wetin dey motivate/pursue am. Not everyone's reality but that's mine and that's okay too

Azertise:
Abeg, What's the trick boss? I still dey struggle with 60k

In this season and time? Are you sure? What platform do you use? I feel Indrive only makes sense once you understand how to use it and when there's minimal traffic especially on days like this. And most importantly my car is on 'Comfort' category which is slightly more pricey than Bolt or Basic categories. I am just ruing what happened to my car today, it was 200k net to be achieved today and I would have dropped evidence. My question is what car do you use to work? And what platform?

I targeted 200k net today working from 6am till night with intermittent breaks but my radiator just begin leak, I just had to park my car before it overheats and burns the top gasket. We move tomorrow! Cheers to those of you having a blast today

I think I like Bolt more this period and season. They charged 23k plus for a trip of TBS to Gbagada. 18mins trip max

Biodun1929:
Is it the MRS at Ahmadu Bello Way in VI? Omo, I bought fuel there one day after dropping someone off at Eko Atlantic...not only is their meter accurate, their fuel last longer.

Yes that's the one I am talking of, their fuel last and burns better
