I bought 2 Corolas last 2 months for Uber business and I handed it over to someone a driver I met during my trip to South Africa,
Since May till yesterday, he was supposed to pay 400k but he gave excuses of traveling to the village. Then thank God for the trackers, I tracked one of the car and found it at Eko hotel Victorian Island and I arrested the driver and he brought the 2nd car today.

The sad thing is that, he managed to pay 100k today and as I am writing this, the 2 cars are in my house and I don't have any faith in continuing the Uber business and I don't mind selling both cars at reasonable prices and move on.

Thanks

Hi everyone, i have been following this thread from inception till now and i must say i have really learned a lot.
I drove on uber for a month and two weeks and found it exciting, challenging but interesting. Though my partner had to sell her car due to financial constraint she found herself in.
After going without a car for a month i have gotten another offer and would like to know what the current rental price for a 2007 corolla is. Please i would really appreciate your kind response.

Hello house.

I have about 3m that I want to put to use, and Uber/Taxify seems to be a good investment for now. The only experience I have with Uber & Taxify is from chatting with the drivers I rode with, so I need help with some questions:

1. Which brand & model of car is best in terms of initial cost/rider preference/ease of driving/spare parts/maintenance/resale value? Toyota/Kia/Hyundai/Honda?

2. If I'm to go for Toyota Corolla for example, should I go for an 09/10 model for 2.5m - 3m or two 03/04 models for 1.3m - 1.6m each? Whichever car(s) I'm buying, it will be direct tokunbo NOT Nigerian used.

3. If I go the rental route, what additional spending should I be realistically expected to do over the course of a year in terms of maintenance and repairs? How do I keep these costs down?

4. I have never seen a prospective driver that said they were bad and terrible, but we keep hearing stories of bad drivers... So where/how do I get good drivers?

5. What items should be included in the driver-owner contract to make sure both parties are properly covered?

6. Should I register with Uber & Taxify on behalf of the drivers, or should I just have an agreement with the drivers and they do the registration and the rest by themselves?

7. Last but not the least.... where will the car be parked? Or will I just have moto and never see it again?


My aim for this is to recoup my purchase costs within a year and then immediately sell it off, so this is very simply an investment.

I know I'm asking for much, if you can't answer please ignore. Also if you can't answer here on this thread, please ignore as well.

Thanks in advance.

Hello guys, is a Toyota Corolla 2008/09 V4 Manual acceptable to drivers on Uber/ taxify, to deliver #40k weekly? I want to be sure drivers are okay driving a manual corolla than an automatic version.

Also, are there still fleet managers at all for this, its been a while we heard from @tokyobull, and @mrsage. What is going on really? I want to place 2-3 corolla V4 on uber/taxify but through an experienced fleet manager.

Just so we know, the Math in this youtube video so you're saying you were able to rack up all that uber mileage on the car and still sell it off for a profit of 200k 10 months down the line??

doean't add up. Figures can be manipulated in any way to tell any story. Here's another set of figures I happen to be conversant about. This dude in my estate started out on Uber with a Toyota Yaris, hire purchase - #1.2 million. He paid up fully in 10 months; sold the Yaris for #1.4 million and bought a 2009 Camry which he uses now. Let's not forget that he was also able to pay his bills in those 10 months. So how do we cast this true story in the light of this youtube math? My point is this - if you really understand what you are doing, you can be well ahead in this Uber business ... trust me

If you are an experienced uber driver and you live around lekki, surulere or yaba, this is for you. I've got a 2010 corolla for rental. Send me a pm if you are interested.

So straight to the point, I am job hunting but nothing is forthcoming, so I have a friend who has three Uber cars and one of his drivers recently quit on him. We got talking and I told him about how I enjoy driving and he suggested I come drive one of his Uber cars.
But I'm wondering if there are other women Uber drivers and how they managed at it.
