Risky. U better start offering recharge cards,peanuts, pop corns, sweets, gums, chinchin etc. To ur riders to help boost ur rating.

I wonder how you will take a rider going to a 5star hotel or restaurant. You also give that rider a 5star ride, on your A.C., open the door for them play music for them make sure your car smells good at a very cheap price. Why is the 5star hotel or restaurant not cheap and your 5star services is cheap. Uber and bolt are busy fighting on who provides the cheapest fare at the detriment of the diver and car owner. They say when two elephants fight it's the grass that suffers. We have chicken republic, testy fraid chicken, KFC, tantalizer etc are they not doing competition too? Why is there food not cheap due to competition. We have thousands hotels all over why is there service not cheap? Because they are the owners of the business and they spend alot of money to run the business. But uber/Taxify are not the owners of your car so they don't care how you feel.

Na copy copy ooo

Felicity0001:

The problem here is demand and supply, bolt and uber r not stupid, its all in the ratio of request to availability of cars.

The day Uber and Bolt decide to go premium ehn.... Naija used Corolla will go as low as 600k

Colybaly:

I laff
People think say na uber make corolla dey expensive. Even before the reign of ehailing, corolla has already been expensive. Uber only made corolla popular, but added nothing to its price.

Impossible is nothing but then this may not be the reflection of your actual rating.
While on a trip try to check your rating on your riders app I am sure you will see something different

medd422:


The higher d fare, the more available the drivers.
The lower d fare , the more available d riders
What's d essence of more riders when they can't get a driver
When u request from a cheaper app and u couldn't get a driver, u will definitely be forced to request d expensive one
And as Nigerians, we normally get used to everything with time.
So Uber and bolt should reason with d drivers and come up with something meaningful

Xneg:


You probably don't live in Africa to have assumed e-hailing didn't add to the cost of corolla, so are you saying there no increase in demand for corolla btw 2014 and now?

eyinola:
I bet to disagree, uber made the demand high

Horlickz77:
Please I need a car.. I stay at ikeja...i have experience about the job..please kindly help out if you have anyone who wants to give his or her car to driver ..

0taPiaPia:
Some drivers are the ones spoiling this game for others.. please what you don't know, kindly ask others. There are only 3 points in Lagos state that I know of that e-hailing app reads/ records tolls which is the admirai circle plaza, lekki ikoyi link bridge and of course the international airport toll.

Took a rider from surulere to Naco (the export zo e).. before we got there I told the man the gate fee is 400 and on him except he drops outside, he said nothing. We entered and I paid #400. Ended trip at 1600+ my 400 =2k. The man said laye he is not paying the #400. that no driver has ever asked him for a refund at Naco. Before ending the trip I even showed him trips details having the toll at 00 naira.. man said he isn't paying... Ok we should split it 200# each...... I changed the tune sharperly.. oga will you give me my my money and get the Bleep outta ma car... He gave me the money and left and of course 1* rating sure at both ends but who cares.

xrayj:

It added nothing
My brother bought a corolla in 2008 far before this ehailing thing became popular. When I did the conversion in dollar rate, it was same price. Even cheaper now. His initial plan was to buy big daddy, it took him extra 3 months to buy corolla because of his mechanic recommendation. There was nothing like uber then in Benin.

stephenwa:
That is true....I have expressed such...the man refused to pay 400...up till now Uber have not refund me or reply my message since last year

izzou:




Your brother bought a corolla as at 2008. So let's look at some facts from your comment

1) The Toyota corolla popular on uber ranges from 2003 to 2007. So if your brother bought one in 2008, his car would have been 6 years old(give or take)

This is 2019/2020. And you're telling me a car released about 17 years ago is supposed to remain the same way?

Toyota has various models. Why is it Corolla and Matrix that is still expensive?(Uber recommended). It's just recently that Camry joined. Why isn't the 2005 model of Avensis expensive like the corolla?

We can argue this all day, but I wouldn't want us to do that. It's no rocket science that demand and supply affects pricing

Felicity0001:

Its very clear guys, ehailing made corolla a popular demand and therefore increase in price especially in Nigeria but over the sea the price is a little bit minimal.

Presently, its very difficult to even get a corolla to buy in the US right now because Nigerians have bought almost all these corolla manufactured. Present price of a corolla now is nothing short of 2m. You can check around to confirm.

Sooner or later there'll be a hike in the price of Honda civic as corolla is becoming scare and its a better alternative to the popular.

lograr:


There has always been high demand of corolla because of low fuel consumption

xrayj:

Like I said earlier
Look for anyone that bought a corolla before 2009, do the conversion in currency as regards increase in dollar now to price of dollar then, u will find your answer there. Many of u started hearing of corolla after uber popularity and thinks uber is responsible for its price. Uber added nothing to the price of that car, but only made it popular.

izzou:


You are arguing blindly sir.
The car your brother bought was obviously 6 years old. Yesssss, it will still be expensive.

How then do you think that after 17 years, the price will remain the same way? Why you dey talk like this

You brother bought it when it was still in vogue(somehow). Don't use that as a theory to explain why it's still expensive.

Epphy:


And what was the exchange rate then?

You need to put this into perspective as well as the age of Corolla then, like Izzou mentioned

xrayj:

What is the price of a big daddy 04 before 2009 & now? I asked u to do simple research & u are quoting me??

izzou:


All you needed to do was think, but you just want to argue. I don't have that strength, not today, and not anytime this year

Why is it 04 cars in 2009 are lesser in price in 2020? From Mercedes to Nissan, Honda to Mazda, Audi, and even other Toyota models? They prices keep depreciating, but only Corolla, Matrix and Camry still remain the same?

Just sit down and think

Intact, you're right. The corolla price has always been the same since 2003. By 2025, it will still remain the same sir.

Have a nice day, and let's let the matter rest
