No point buying a new car to hussle part time.
Alot of people use camry and it's profitable. U can use ur camry on trial and see the ratio of fuel cost to gross you make. Before u know ur next steps.
Thanks a lot.

Much respect boss

You using your Camry to work will still be within the barbiturates fuel to gross range
Forget about people talking about lack of thermostat and bad car condition

Again, using that Camry to me is not a good idea being that it is too BIG for this peanut fares ehailing is offering, you'd consume more fuel thereby reducing your fuel to net ratio unlike someone who is using a 1.0 to 1.8l vehicle.

The Suzuki would have been the best tool cos of it's engine capacity but that car cost is very expensive, you can ask around

My advice would be if you intend to do this hustle for long time, you sell off your Camry and you'd still have enough change after looking for a very good small car maybe honda jazz, city, Kia Rio, Hyundai accent or buy better still buy the manual version of these not more than 3.5m so you can recoupe your capital faster

Or if you're ok with barbiturates fuel to gross margin then you can use your Camry

Just remember the indices that if a 1.0l engine user , pearl and barbiturate work and earn the same gross monthly, if pearl makes 1.6m monthly he will have a profit of 800k after all deductions, barbiturate will have just 600k monthly and the 1.0l engine user will have between 900 to 1m monthly
No, i am not in for the long run. My job which is a contract one would commence in about 2 or 3 months and run till the end of year. It's a stuff that fetches good return but i am just trying to use this E hailing to freestyle and have some decent income to support in my expenses as i have already depleted most of my reserve. Maybe later on, i might add smaller ones but no, I have no intention of selling this vehicle. Thanks for the contribution though. Much respect boss

U work barely 6hours daily from 11am to 6pm
Early morning rush hour u missed
Morning runs you missed
Late closers u missed
Night crawlers u missed.
Your car is 2 over 10 in fuel efficiency
And u still have mouth to talk. U should know u are not a model or standard by no means in this hussle.
U should know the same amount u gross, people are making X3 of it with less money spent on fuel.
Before u start work, ur colleagues have made 40-50k and after u have closed, they still will make 40-50k before they close.
I gross minimum X4 of my fuel money and I use 30k fuel on a full days work. So d least I make is 120k on 30k fuel daily.

Now this is d conservative model.
U make 80k gross on 20k fuel
Your take home is 40k
Working 5days a week is 400k gross and 200k take home.
In a month that's 1.6m gross and 800k profit. For me this is d minimum.
Anyone not doing this minimum should never speak on income when serious ehailing drivers are talking. U can give ur own experience and opinion but never doubt what I say on income.
Wow! What's your car model? A Corolla?
I am planning to start with a 2010 Toyota Camry, I really hope the fuel usage is efficient though it's mine, not driving for anyone. Is it advisable to buy a Suzuki 1.0 liter engine.

NB: This vehicle is my vehicle for work, just hoping to use it part time for e hailing. Do you advise i sell it off to buy a more efficient car?

Barbiturate:
How much you make depends on you and your car. For me, I buy 20k fuel and make 50/55k gross per day.(20k net)
I use 08/09 Toyota Camry muscle and it consumes fuel. I come out around 10am and close 6pm. Infact today I started around 11:30am(family runs) and still grossed 53k.
I use bolt and indrive. Bolt charges 25% commission, but they give 10% bonus on commission after first 4 trips.
Indrive charges 10% commission, but many a times their prices are ridiculous.
You can put your choice destination on bolt, but you have only 2 per day. You can also cancel trips showing destinations that you don't want to go. Bolt is best for you for a start.


Just test run and see how it is!
I really appreciate you for your contribution, people like you are why newbies won't have a hard time adjusting to the ehailing hustle. But another question, is your vehicle v4? Why does it consume much fuel? And on weekends? What is the estimate one can make? Lastly i do drive at night normally coz i stay here on the Island not beyond Alfred Rewane, Ikoyi. Do you think I can do night trips? Just within Ikoyi, Lekki peninsula 1 or VI. Never going beyond here if it is night trip. Thanks in anticipation

Exactly one of the reactions I have been getting on roads and streets.
You would have to change shocks from time to time. And who did it for you? Welder?😂

Barbiturate:
@YeyeGbami
Apart from the correction, the guy said he thought of driving it himself, which is better than giving it out, since he works once in a week. He has about 5/6 days to hustle.
He only needs help and clarification as to which app to use.

My brother tobby, you can start with bolt and uber. Since you stay on the island, take your car with documents to: 11 providence street, lekki phase 1(bolt office) and they will put you through on registration. It doesn't take time. You can do it in a day and start work the next day.
The areas to work you mentioned are better. That's exactly where majority work, including me.

Best of luck
Thanks so much for your input, but how much realistically can one make in a week with prevailing rates and in terms of positioning, since i am on the Island, how do i put my choice destination on the app, and lastly, which is the best app for a newbie. What's their percentage?

May God help you,lost my car in year 2011,it’s nowhere to be found till now
Now I don’t use tracker because it’s useless,I engrave the car because some of this thieves sell the car in pieces.
Once they noticed you have engraved the car,they won’t steal it.
As for tracker,the best way to use it is to hide it somewhere inside the car,don’t connect it to the car
How do one engrave a car?

Lol we love the baba sope in Lagos.

It has made Lagos stable politically and the state keeps rising.

GAC will continue to coordinate the politics within APC and anyone not happy with it can go and jump into Ezu river.

Hello guys.
I have a vehicle i am not using. A Toyota Camry 2010 V4. I was thinking of giving it out for rentals but i just thought of it, instead of giving it out why not drive it myself. It is not a full time stuff as I have a job that i go to twice or once in a week. I stay on the Island, which app is best for me. NB: I have no interest in going to the mainland except Magodo, Airport and Ikeja GRA axis. Thanks for your help

This was me early on this year undecided wether to sell or give out for rentals. Now I only work mostly weekends or when i feel like till my other business needs my undiluted attention and presence again and it pays my small bills so easily, a big thanks to those who encourage us on this platform
