I ordered an uber for a friend and the driver came with a highlander, like I said earlier, it's not always about the size of the engine, it's about bin smart.

Talking about brand of cars, I see where people say only xyz cars will stand the test of time, they are right to an extent but not entirely, if you haven't driven other brands then it's wrong to ascertain that other brands won't, afterall I still see some rickety Volvo carrying tomatoes around Mile12. Some cars are problematic but with diligence and good maintenance culture it would serve you well and that's if you drive it yourself but if you ain't driving yourself then stick to xyz brand.

If I decide I wanna drive on uber and should I want to go for a 2.5litre engine then it would be a 2014 Camry or 2014 Honda Accord, yes i have class and I also know there are riders who also deserve such...

Like I said, it's all about working smart.

Please sir what's the estimate of ROI if I buy a car and give to a driver on Uber platform

Why frontpage?

Adewaley1987:
Am Thinking of being a partner...

Need more clarification...
I heard from a Uber drivers that Uber cut the driver offline if they don't meet a certain rating 1-3 is bad rating while 4-5 is good rating, and such driver would not be allow to use Uber again...as the drivers told me...So I think basically Uber his not protect the drivers, they are the one working- really hard to make money for the partners and themselves also...also such drivers would have a family to feed... If at all any of the drivers have 1-3 good rating, its the partners that need to query the driver and not Uber disconnecting the drivers without not letting the partners know about it...

If what these drivers told me his true...then if the partner chose to drive his car...same issue will occur?
I think that's quiet bad...(Not Protecting the drivers)?

Need more clarification on these please?

Now whether people take me serious or not ,does not bother me one pit. Coz have been pretty straight forward with people... people should know when am serious or not. Anything anybody tells you take with a grain of salt anylaze it and you make a decision from there.
Now the military General stuff, if you read carefully, Gazzuz said that am not a driver or ever driven on the platform.. That is very correct, now for the fact that I have not one, but fleet of cars on the platform does not mean I don't know what is going on. I don't necessarily need to be on ground... I go by what my workers tells me and manager tells and now compare those with what is going on in nairaland uber thread... from there I make my own final conclusion on what step to take. And also I have few friends on the forum, that are drivers and partners. And they are a great source of information to me. I always
have great communication with them . Those are the people I rely on my interl.. I don't have to be on ground or be a driver to know what is going on. Now if I didn't have any cars at all, that is different situations.
Now if you have read my past thread, I said you will need a good team around you to succeed in the business.. I have a pretty team around me so far... do you know how emails I got from people asking me advice? Also I share my own experience on the thread for people to learn .. If am able to have 8 cars on Uber within 8months of starting the business, am either doing wrong or am a high risk taker. So please let us read to undestand, I have great passion for the business. And once I can master the business feel comfortable enough , you will not hear me on the forum. God willing am hoping to have 14 cars this year. Once I do that am gone from the thread... have done my part to learn and to master my trade. Some will learn others will just watch you learn.. It is up to the individual....

jayooh:


Oga Gazzuzz, you Don teach this man English, now we no go hear word.

theprince24:
hmmm,UBER. i am UBER partner,but the truth is that anybody that is given out his or her to DRIVER should give it second taught because,the business has a lot of partner now,which make us idle sometimes.and there is no way driver can help this because,if he don't get order there is no way money will come in. what I am trying to say is that driver find it difficult to meet up with weekly payments. due to number of partner that UBER has now. and UBER will take 25% for every trip, the remaining 75% for fuel,car owner and driver.some times we end up doing cabu cabu in other to meet up.

dru23:

I am new to this thread and I noticed that you are quite full of ego. You own just 6 say 8cars and your shoulder is already so high, how much are those cars really? are they worth up to 30million naira?

Dude take a chill pill. so many people on this Nairaland are far more richer than you are, what you think you have that's making you high is what someone else is seeing as baby money.

Bragging on top 6-8cars that's not even worth 30m, GTFOH!

I have a clean tokunbo 2010 corolla with 76k mile for e-hailing, how much is the appropriate rental I should collect for this.

dru23:


So you want to give your toks camry for 30k ... did u factor in maintance and oil change that you suppose to use synethic oil for the cost ...... Pele you must be new in business... u better read the thread well 30k for toks... give it to them for 15k now and forget about maintenance now .... Newbie

Teddyhoncho:
Lol... I think I like this Dru23 dude, everyone has bragging rights. 1 car, 10 cars, whatever it is, just let the bro be. He has itchy fingers, granted. Everyone is free to say whatever, no need to caution him for speaking his mind.

shepherdchurch:



Bro how much should i get for a 2010 corrolla with 72 miles

dru23:


Omo na 40k you should collect ... but most drivers na 35k or 30 self they want collect from you. Keep in mind you have to deal with the maintancing the car like oil change etc. Also a car with that high mileage is advisable to use synethic oil to avoid sludge in your car. A mobil 1 full synethic will cost you 16k or more to change the oil... keep all those in mind.. I collect 37k to 40 on some of my cars... so depends on the driver, please shine your eye before u give ur car out. I almost got burnt few times.... Goodluck bro

shepherdchurch:


Thanks bro. I appreciate.
Now I see why most of these drivers tend to hate on you for speaking the truth.
Like you're spoiling market for them.
The truth is always bitter.
May you live long bro.
