lagostaxiguy:
This should be maximum

Thanks too...I had this figure in mind

Tgiirl:
25k if its me..

Ok ... thanks

Epphy:
Where in Lagos; Mainland or Island?

Where in Ib, hope it's not Oyo town or one suburb?

If it's from Mainland to 'Ibadan', like 40k-45k

If from Island, like 45k upwards

You may need to factor in how long you will stay in Ib ( are you coming back same day?), accommodation, etc.

Thanks for your quick response,

From mainland, college road precisely.

I don't exactly know where in Ibadan, but i will ask for more details.

Is there anything with you town?

It will be a day trip.

It's not good when your phone gets hot while using the uber app
Experience shows that most of the install app on the phone will malfunction and will never give you accurate result

To avoid your phone getting hot while using the uber app or taxify !!!!! Do this
Get a towel that can retain water very well, dip the towel in clean water the queez it, place your phone in between the fold of the towel.

Why not just an AC phone holder, that's where I keep mine...besides my phone never gets hot.

When Uber is hitting me with back to back request

Uber don scam me with surge, I dey magodo in the middle of surge, dem give trip from olowora i tell the lady I'm at alausa, she said not to worry that she will cancel, still there I got another's trip to cipm still no surge

Morning people, it's my first time driving to Abeokuta from Lagos. I'd be moving from Magodo. I know I have to get to Redemption camp first. Please can someone guide me on how to get to Abeokuta from Redemption camp? Thanks.

Google map is your friend, in the last few weeks I have been to Abeokuta twice. It was my first time, it's a straight road, with just two major turns, at Lagos-ibadan expressway and the big roundabout that's all

Ogbunigwe2018:
Uber only charges 15% on weekdays and 5% on weekends in some particular areas within the boost map.

If you get a request from Festac town or Ayobo e.t.c, OYO. It's 25% commission.

P.S New drivers are not eligible for boost until they complete a particular number of trips.

Didn't know about the boost thing, I'm a new driver, how many trips for me to qualify for boost?

So today, two of my riders were complaining about drivers that use "salt and pepper" the person, a woman called "locito".she said once she's you are being touchy with your phone, she starts to suspect you but won't tell you, if she sees a crazy fare, she reports, Uber refunds.

The first person a man, said when he saw he's fare he knew something was wrong but paid but the second time nah fight e wan fight the driver base on somolu brought up. I told him not to fight anyone but report such next time that he will get a refund.

When I ended was so happy that the fare was normal and he learnt something new. Most riders are now aware of it.

Be warned

shollywendy1:
Guy, get ur fact right before posting. Uber charges 15% (25%-10%)..except if the trip is on surge. Besides, your problem is not uber but your car fuel consumption rate

You said it bro, he's car must be a v12

Mhideyh:
You can say that for only long trips mr man

I'm not the first person to say it here , a guy some time back said 2k worth of fuel gets 10k.

I even earn more on longer trips sef

protocol:
this table you are shaking, hmmm

ore16:
Pls does you guys have watps chat if I can join for further discussion .

I joined Uber last month due to loss of my job and I had done over 100 trip . But my experience is that the job is not profitable except you have special customer off Uber or taxify .

The major one that pain me most is I carried a rider from park view Estate Ikoyi to Abule Egba, we spent 2hours 45minutes even the rider was tired of traffic . At the end of the trip Uber charge #4560 and deducted 1000plus which is 25percent . I used #2000 fuel . I can do any work again after the trip . Where is gain in d business . Wear and tear of the vehicle is also there .

Guy is any place I can do drop and chatter off Uber .

Thank you

Bro, it maybe the car you are using is drinking your fuel. I have been driving since morning on 1k fuel, I still get half tank.

From experience my car gives 5k on 1k fuel.

ore16:
U are making #7000 plus on 7 trip how is profitable to you . U AVE not meet rider that will give you 1 rating despite being nice to them . If the rider that you went to pick at Ikoyi from Lekki is not good tell me how do you compensate for your fuel that you will used to carry the rider . Who is at loss . Uber will still deduct their 25per cent immediately . With the lowest money they are charging .

Out of the trip you will carry rider of shortest distance of 300 and Uber will still deduct their money . U own your car and still u do not know the rating they will give u and Uber belief in this rating without consider the driver/Partiner .

Bro pls mind you wear and tear of the vehicle and servicing are real and no vehicle in Uber platform that work within a month without visiting mechanic workshop for check up .

Thank you

It's crazy right.

I also drive on Taxify, so far Taxify been paying me, I just say make I try both of them at the same time to decrease my waiting time, anyone that comes first I go for it

Megadrop:
Well done bro. Gradually, u will get there, Rome wasn't built in a day and pikin must crawl before he walk abi. Encourage yourself and don't be lazy.

Thanks bro

ifyeez:
You probably did not go tru the thread very well, anyway let me answer ur question.
1. Pray hard before you leave ur house and starting of trips

1.1 Start early: 4:30am get up and set destination.

2. Positioning: Example you can't stay inside mushin and expect island trip, you will get Festac and Ago. Ask Gentle will explain beta

3. Trip Chasing: You must ve heard us talking about about surge, yes chase it, one thing with surge is that even if it's gone when you got there, just hang around you must get trip, because some smart ass riders, won't request till the surge is over. One rider told me he has been requesting for the past two hours and canceling because he doesn't want surge trip, stingy guy doesn't want drivers to smile. On that note chase wisely some are not worth it.

4: Pepe and Salt: ask the taxiappguy about it joking please don't come for me

5. Make friends: always try to keep in contact with some nice riders, I have this lady I take to her office every morning at V.i

6. Stanley this space is for you

7. Romeo

8. Chuck

9.Gentle

9.1 Tgirl

10. Always keep contact with ur follow drivers, they will teach you there own tweaks they use, we learn everyday, that's why some of us are here everyday.

That said, some days are so bad you will probably prefer not coming out that day than come out and not get trips, or get useless trip

Would ve added Gazzuzz buh he doesn't river anymore , I remember when he told us he made, 7k from 7pm to 11pm, that made me seat up

Thanks for the heads up, I will put in more effort.

I do network with drivers, have met alot of them on the road.

About salt and pepper, I have met two drivers that are using it, they are not bothered, they say they only like 3 trips and they will be "alright"
