We call this service "drive away" in the USA. Typically done by students and senior citizens to get cross country. Popular for rental companies.

Basically, you sign up with an agency and they match you with someone that needs a vehicle driven to another location. Fee varies but mostly includes gas card.

Another excellent business opportunity for someone here. Yes, it'll be hard in Nigeria but millionaires are usually people that find solution to issues.

Lagos to Abuja normal time is N50k to N60k.

Fuel + "Settlements" included.

If you insist to get it down these days, N100k must be available.

When I bought my Rx350, I paid the driver (a soldier) 50k to move it down to benin. And there was no lockdown. Bro just give this guy at least 60k to avoid stories that touch.
This was Tokunbo, right? Already registered SUV from Lagos to Benin nko currently?

Years ago I paid 40k because it was urgent.

Put yourself in the drivers shoe.. Even if he knows the person..,, trans back to lagos is how much, what will be left with him after transporting himself back to lagos, except if he will give him trans to lagos back., every other exps on his way.. Then extra 10k - 15k for work done.. Which still little to me

30k - 40k isn't too much (Inclusive of police share on his way to abj) standard fee is 45 to 50k sef, anyhow the driver will lodge in abuja for the night. Average hotel 7 to 10k.

If the owner is to go pick the car, and get back.. Check out his expenses, time spent and stress driving back to Abj...

8k for fuel? Is it like you are not a car owner or you lack the fear of God

Transport back 6k? Haba you really deserve not to even be a leader or be in any position of authority someone like you will frustrate his or her employees.


In short, you really need jesus and reorientation. Dear op please the man is not your slave dnt listen to this arrancy up here. 8k won't fuel scar from Lagos to abuja. Budget at least 10-15k. Depending on your engine capacity. And for his transport back, 10k. Won't the man even eat sef?

Are you joking? Let me give you a breakdown.

2014 Toyota Corolla
Petrol: 12K (145/L Era)
Police & Customs: 15k (or less if you're lucky)
Transport back: Relative. Night buses can take as low as 2.5k (standing) and as high as 5.5k if you want to travel comfortably through the night.
Workmanship: 30k (Refreshments inclusive)
**Note that sometimes a driver needs to pay for his accommodation if he can't move through the night. Before you devalue people and the services they offer, put yourself in their shoes.

Thanks so much. Coupled with the fact that he may pick 1 or 2 passengers along to road grin grin grin

See this one oo... 8k for fuel even if na corolla 1.4 engine. It’s never going to be enough he would need at least 15k for fueling and that’s depending on the car brand and the liters. The driver will need to fill up the thank before leaving lagos and he will top it up on the way,
Secondly the driver will stop at a point to eat or relax,
Moving a Tokunbo car from lagos to abuja no be beans ooo, police and custom extortions nko..

What's funny. At the present rate of fuel N123.5, 8k fuel is enough for a Toyota.

I drive a Peugeot 206. When petrol was N145, 8k fuel fills its tank from empty to full and it goes to akure from Lagos and back

Maybe your car transmission is faulty hence increasing fuel consumption and you're now thinking that's the normal thing

So akure to Lagos and back is like Lagos to abuja? Men.... You are really a joker. And the size of the 206 engine is and as the anonymous car op bought. Seriously?

This is ridiculous. Fuel money sef will take up to 15 or 20k. Abuja back to Lagos is not less than 10k. Miscelleneous 6k is okay (for settlement of Police on the Road). Guy you too wicked.

I won't undertake that trip for less than 60k:

Fuel: N20,000
Transportation back to Lagos: N15,000 (guy, I go chop for road on my way back)
Sorting on the road/feeding: N10,000
Workmanship: N15,000
