Alternative Vehicles For Ehailing by Luxurydriverng: 4:43pm On Oct 02, 2019
No doubt the sales of the Toyota brands especially the Corolla and Camry has drastictically increased over the years, this can be traced to banks and the conventional taxis adopting this brand as their 1st choice for obvious reasons, Fuel consumption and technical support topping the reasons.

This huge drift to this brand has made the price of this very basic Sedan cars very expensive to acquire. For instance a Nigerian used 2003 corolla can have price tags as high as 1.4million naira.

But let us recall that before toyota took over the streets, taxi drivers used car brands like Mercedes Benz regular and 190e. Mazda, Audi, Peugeot, Etc

What vehicles can you recommend for ehailing other than the toyota corolla? which is now a high target for car thief and vandals not to talk of harassment from law enforcement agencies. If you are currently using other car brands for ehailing kindly share your experiences and challenges.

I just discovered your post now .. Keep up the good work ,continue to encourage others out there. Me myself I have some cars on uber .. Elantra 07 and 08. And Honda civics 03 to 05 .. I love the civics so much, to me they are the best cars for ehailing .. Maintenance and fuel consumption is very low .... Below is the most recent car I bought for ehailing.... I will never go for corolla too expensive and your return on investment takes a longer time.. Even the Elantra is getting expensive to buy as a Tokunbo.. I mainly buy tokunbo cars for ehailing...
