CheerfulGiver:
HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL UBER PARTNER IN 2025.

You have to have driven on ehailing platform before. If you haven't been a driver, you CAN NEVER understand what a driver goes through to make the money to pay you weekly. It's not enough to simply call yourself an investor, buy a car, register it and give out to a driver, sit back, relax and expect millions. Drive that car for a week at least. You may skip this part and still be successful, but you won't be as successful.

If you have driven on the platform you'll understand better how the system works. How long it takes to make that money, customer relations, bad days, driver psychology. Things have changed. You cannot keep doing the same things and expect different results.

Type of cars to be put on the platform are small cars. Don't go for expensive. If you think going for expensive means higher returns, I have a plot of land to sell to you at eko Atlantic. Do not make the driver over compensate you for your foolishness or miscalculations. You have to have the right information about any business you're embarking on. It's your duty to do due diligence as an "investor" about the appropriate car to use. If you fail this step, do not make the driver pay for that.

Your car should be top notch before you give it out to a driver. You have to comprehensively insure it, and have a tracker on it. It's a disgrace that many partners take advantage of the desperation of drivers to coerce them to drive stupid cars they know is not in good condition, sometimes with the promise of "start work first, we go dey fix am small small". If you do this, you're a bad person and you deserve anything negative that comes your way from that nonsense. Tires on the car should be good for 3 months minimum. Battery should be good. Alternator good. Breaks, shocks, hub everything should be 100% before you give that car out to anyone. You cannot demand 100% efficiency from a driver from a car that is not 100%. That's unquantifiable stupidity.

All car maintenance must be on you. Raise the weekly remittance to cover the maintenance bills, but you must be in charge. Except of course it's and emergency and your mechanic won't get there in maximum of 2 hours. You have to know the repair and maintenance history of the car. A driver will tell stories if you leave him to maintain your car. Charge for the maintenance in advance and structurally imbibe it into the remittance.

4. Your driver should make more money than he pays to you on a weekly basis. That's the only way to keep him happy and you happy. If you overcharge him, he won't give 100%. If your car is a stupid car and you're making him drive it, he won't make money but will find a way to pay you because you've threatened him. That's wrong. Encourage your driver to make more money than he pays you and he will value you as a good person and he won't want to lose your trust. Encourage him to try and buy a car from the money he makes driving your car and you have just unlocked motivation level 100. If you're getting your weekly payment as at when due, everything works as it's supposed to. If a driver sees your car as a wealth builder, he won't mess around with you or your payment.

Try not to tie your building project to the one car you gave to a driver. If you have 100 cars, the discussion will be different. It will be criminal of you to spend all the money a driver pays to you weekly, INCLUDING the structure of maintenance money you've added and tell him stories when it's time to fix a problem.

The more genuine a car part is, the more it will last. The more it lasts, the more your car remains on the road, guaranteeing your income. Therefore, as much as you can, avoid repairing a part you have been advised to replace. Don't buy a hub bearing if you can buy a complete hub, for example.

Be Nice to your driver and try to understand his explanation if something goes wrong. Use your tracker to establish the truth and deal with the situation accordingly. He's a human like you. If you have an irresponsible driver, 4 fingers are pointing back at you for failing to do due diligence. This is a serious business and you have to treat as such. The more responsible a driver is, the less stress you'll have. Even the most responsible drivers will be victims of circumstances out of their control once in a while. Be a decent human being and try to understand.

Do a background check on whoever it is you'll be entrusting your car to. You have to know his family and his relatives. The contract you sign with a driver should not be too strict or you'll learn the hard way.

Limit contracts to 3 months. If a driver is in a short leash, he usually performs better. There's an erroneous thinking that putting a driver on HP makes them more serious. That's not the case, but I'm really not here to convince you of what I know of. Your hp is usually 30 months. It's better you have a car on 3 months short contracts and be renewed 10 times and after the 10th time you sell the car to the same driver or you sell the car. The maths is the same. The difference is that the driver or drivers you use to get to 30 months know what's coming after 3months if you're not satisfied with them. In the case you'll be replacing a driver after 3 months, have a replacement waiting to avoid downtime.

I'm constrained by time to finish this. You may not like it, but I really don't care. I'm good. These are just tips. You don't have to follow them.

Wise words set in stone cool

I have long come to the conclusion that it's not about the money for a lot of drivers, it's the "rep" that's eating them. The perception that they're "ordinary Uber drivers". That's where I think the issue is otherwise why are we always arguing about numbers? Numbers don't lie.

I get you point, everyone is impacted by the circumstance of the economy but an office person probably can respond better to factors that threatens his income in a more steady manner or long term plan. That is why most banks will rather loan funds to an employee than a small business owner.

See examples of control -

- an office person can has a base pay he can use to plan long term. If you are earning 100k a month, all things being equal, you are able to better project than someone who could earn 200K one month and 20K the next month because his car is faulty of lastma seized the car.

When the petrol price goes up, an office person can actively target hybrid or remote roles to cut costs. They can move closer to their place of work. As an ehailing driver, petrol price goes up and undercuts your profits, you are more constraint and can only respond in a limited manner. You are dependent on the ehailing platform to raise prices. You may try to do offline or some other things to push prices higher, but that could cost you your place in that platform which makes it risky.

cheerful being on rental does not add up. Except the leasor is operating at a loss, cheerful's profit is being undercut by the leasor. Not forgetting the leasor likely has restrictive covenants that limits the free use of the car to pursue his aims.

It's like tinubu claiming to save trillions from oil & FX subsidy removal and yet going on a borrowing spree in spite of high oil prices. It doesn't add up.

Lets look closely at the points in my prior post shall we?


1. Lowest fuel costs

2. Lowest/No maintenance costs

3. Lowest rental fee compared to other alternatives

4. No need to spend intensive capital to buy/acquire said rental type of vehicle

1. Downgrading his work tool (vehicle) from having a 1.8L engine to one that has a tiny 0.9L engine results to an over 50% savings on fueling alone. This means he makes more cash per kilometer than before.

2. The lessor is in charge of all maintenance on the vehicle in question (emphasis on ALL) which means he spends zero naira on maintenance and only has to make out time once in a while to undertake such a procedure. You know how high the prices of regular maintenance materials have increased recently?

3. Paying circa N9,500 to N10,000 daily is a fair amount for rental remittance based in the factors outlined above. Some others on rental pay lower but still end up spending more on fuel and the eventual vehicle's maintenance whenever the need arises.

4. A similar vehicle as that in question being leased would cost circa N28 Million naira new and to see a good tokumbo would cost between N5 Million to N7 million as its purchase price. Nigerian used can be gotten for maybe less but definitely higher than N3 Million naira with its accompanying issues which must be sorted out before it's use.

Then concerning your submission below

cheerful being on rental does not add up. Except the leasor is operating at a loss, cheerful's profit is being undercut by the leasor. Not forgetting the leasor likely has restrictive covenants that limits the free use of the car to pursue his aims.

It adds up when you come to the realisation that the said individual does not plan to be an ehailing driver all his life wink so why spend so much on the vehicle itself (remember the vehicle is only good for minimising fueling costs while hustling, it has limited space and power for regular personal/family use) and spend more on regular maintenance when you can just rent it for a period of time to achieve your set goals after which you return the vehicle by terminating its contract at the realisation of your goals? I know you might say he should have bought the vehicle for himself, finish with his hustling and then rent it out further or sell it to recoup his investment but then not everyone is cut out for such practices in the first place. It's an individual decision plus his lessor has thousands of such contracts/vehicles on the roads so running at a loss won't matter much since they are operating on a large scale.

I myself have been independent and employed so I know the differences between the two circumstances and in my opinion it's not a one shoe fits all kind of decision. It is an individual decision that must be respected by all no matter what divide you fall on. As for having access to loan facilities, both employers and financial institutions will grant you loans if you have a steady inflow of cash in you account be you a salaried or business man. Just show your statements and the rest is history so I don't see why the idea of borrowing money will factor in such a decision (unless you'd want to argue that ehailing drivers aren't business men in which case I'd say you should reconsider your opinion on such a matter)

That someone earns 500k monthly, save a quarter of it for rainy days/projects, run his household and bills with the rest then can still borrow millions from his employer to repay over many months is not bad BUT it is not a solution for everybody. Example, an SSCE holder who has no tertiary education but has a skill . . . DRIVING is his skill, it is because if people like this person that we have such a thread as this. If you have degrees and certifications then you can consider other employment opportunities unlike our unlearned friend with just a school cert cry

So in essence all I'm trying to say is that it's an apples to oranges comparison that should never be a talking theme of this thread. There is a job/vacancy section for such discussions elsewhere on this forum πŸ™„

Probably for many years now cheerful has indicated (with strong evidence) that he does a million a month.

Why would he be on rentals? Something's not adding up.

Generally though, the problem with fast money is that without discipline, it goes fast also.

The greater challenge with the business is that you have little control over how it goes. You don't control the price of petrol, the price of cars, the cost of servicing, government regulations, fares offered. It makes the driver very dependent on the factors outside his control. While drivers are often very industrous, the inability to control many factors in the business makes it a bit challenging to plan long term and leverage the business to do other things.

An office person, though may earn less has more control over how things go and has a large pool of employers he can switch to to hedge his risks. The presence of some sort of control, gives the office person better leverage to plan long term and more easily make moves.

I am still trying to understand this control you speak of in your last paragraph undecided is it the type of control we had when fuel price jumped from N185 to N600 or when the cost of transportation to and from the office trippled overnight? Or when food prices quadrupled over a space of one month? Or when kids schools and landlords increased their fees? Or now that we are still waiting for those in charge to implement the minimum wage increament? cry what is your own definition of the word CONTROL ?

And for your information, the simple reasons that made cheerfulgiver consider taking up a rental was

1. Lowest fuel costs

2. Lowest/No maintenance costs

3. Lowest rental fee compared to other alternatives

4. No need to spend intensive capital to buy/acquire said rental type of vehicle

Why do you think those who mocked him for his sound decision over 8 months ago are now falling over themselves to apply for the same rental deal he is currently enjoying? Even those with their own personal vehicles are not able to accomplish what he is accomplishing upon having sole ownership and control of their own vehicles.

Getting and controlling fast cash is an individual thing, if you aren't cut out for it then you need to work on yourself rather than blame the cash for coming in too fast wink

About not quoting you was never intentional. I just don’t have anything to say on the matter that interest you. The fuel usage won’t make any difference.
