cuteralph101:
Sir...im a newbie I have a 2007 Toyota camry. I'm thinking of selling it to do business or moving to Lagos to start uber/bolt? Pls I need advice if uber/bolt is still paying

cuteralph101:
okay thanks...just wanted to know if uber/bolt still pays to know the decision I will take. Waiting earnestly for a reply. Thanks

Felicity0001:


I'll advise you do a feasibility study on both the business you intend selling your car for and the uber business... You'll get your answer after carrying out this assignment

BAZ001:


The reason people are not eager to answer you is because we have two categories of drivers here the lady drivers and Ants machine drivers
Lazy drivers will most likely tell you to go look for another business than driving for 12hrs every day.
While Ants will tell you to quickly quickly register your car and start making 400k every month.

You will have to read 20pages back to get full gist. The way you sound, I perceive you will be a lazy driver. if you find it hard to read the thread but want quick answer to enable you make critical decisions. Hmmmm

cuteralph101:
studies show that I can make 200k plus in a month if I sell the car but not certain for Uber/Bolt reason am trying to know if there's still profit in the ehailing business esp in lagos

thanks for ur honest opinion...I've read the thread and see gains and complaints as well. But haven't been convinced beyond reasonable doubt if my assertions were to be for lazy drivers or ant machine drivers. Am good at hustling but the decision to delve into the business involves me relocating and secondly won't have to sell my car anymore.

Felicity0001:


200k+? For a new business? Are you sure about this?
With how much capital?
How much do you think you can sell off your car?
How long will it take you to breakeven on this business?
And which location was this study carried out?
How many locations did you considered for the business in your study?
Did you considered Lagos as a location in yiur studies? What was the outcome compared to other states you studied?

If coming out with 200k+ after a good study and you're very sure the study is good then let me help you with a little data from my own experience for the uber business in Lagos.

Since you've your own car...
You'll have to fix it up to suit uber standard... Budget N100-150k plus minor painting.

Value the car at your intended sales price+amount spent to bring it up to uber standard.

Financial forecast for a month for newbie like you is as follows...

First 1-3months
expect 150-200k in the first month
300k in the 2nd month
then exponential increase as your experience increases

NB: this maybe far less if you didn't grow up or ever lived in lagos b4 now. So expect mayne half the price because change of environment and settlement will be your major setback in the 1st 6months.

After the first 6months you should be able to net 300-400k monthly provided all conditions remains constant as with a tok car.

Monthly routine maintenance should be as follows:
*Servicing after 2000miles... I'm sure you're already using palm oil for servicing all these while you've had the car so peg change of oil at every 2000miles. Topping of oil will depends on your car because there's a bad review about your car engine. So be ready for it now that it will be used for commercial purpose.
*routine repairs due to tear and wear, budget 30-50k in every 3months. And 50-70k in every 6months should there be a need for change of shocks absorbers.

Hazard expenses:
For other road uses accident related issues, LASMA, Police, anti-one-way police and others(marina and Lagos mainland trips), budget 50-100k in your 1st year.


What else I'm I missing... See how you can put this data together to make your study and decision.

Good luck!!

BAZ001:


I drive the same car it’s yours so it’s okay.
I won’t advise you to sell your car, you can use your car to hustle and fund the other business.
My concern is the relocation?
Which part of Lagos will you stay, is it free accommodation or rent?
Are you familiar with Lagos ? People on this side of the country are not that okay.

For example I drove for 15hrs yesterday cos of 5%, I made mad money but one side of my head has been banging since. I’ve been sleeping and waking still banging. Tot I was conveniently in the ants league, but by myself I’m going back to lazy driver league.


Modified
I no know say d oga’s don reply you, I for keep quiet.
See those two people up there hmmm.
Two extreme,
white & black,

After them na them.
You don’t need an other explanation.

Thanks for responding...will stay at Ojo area...planned on staying with a friend on rent 10k per month. Am not too familiar I can still be a bit confused even though I've been to several places in Lagos eg Satellite Festac Oshodi Gbagada Surulere Yaba Ikeja Iyana Ipaja Lekki Kirikiri and Apapa. In selling my car I feel the car is caused to be honest tired of constant repairs and feel I should sell or manage it and delve into uber/bolt.

CheerfulGiver:
Bolt is paying, but I don't know about uber and I don't care. Don't delve into uber as a newbie to ehailing and a newbie to Lagos, else you chop konkiri. Since you've made up your mind to sell your car and start the business you're well aware will net you sure 200k monthly, go ahead and sell it. Then save up from that business and buy a small Kia Rio or Honda city as time goes on. Both are less than 900k. You'll realize you have 2 businesses running and have an alternative to fall back on if need be. Ehailing is not running.
