This question shows you haven't done any due diligence before venturing into this. I guess you'll have a lot of issues that need addressing.

Good evening house, please I need you guys advice on something, would you advise someone to collect loan from the bank(Gtbank) with 1.33% interest money and put in uber business? A friend of mine is thinking of collecting loan of 2 million to buy 2 cars, a big daddy(1ml) and a Honda (#800,000, the owner is desperately in need of money). He has seen the cars already but just that he is a little bit sceptical about it if he can be able to repay the loan and interest within a year interval. He will drive one and give out one. What is your advice guys and has anyone here collected loan from the bank especially GTBank, what was the person's experience and are there hidden charges that the bank doesn't let the customers know?

Its better for rider to b available, then for drivers to b sleeping for 2/3hrs without ride. I know some sch of tot will disagree with me, but it is what it is a d remember availability of riders somewhat means surge.

Felicity0001:

Sorry I may sound awkard but ita d best for advice from experience of life.

Who be dis friend, guy simply tell us its you nobody go kill u. If it's not you how then u have almost every details.

Also, you seems to be economical with some vital info how then do you expect one to give profile advice Who is the desperate owner you referred to that wants his money??

Bros/guy/oga, you're collecting a bank loan to buy a 9ja used car?? Thats a stupid decision oh... Instead take 1.5m get a Honda civic dir too highest 1.3-1.4m. B4 you'd spent 100k the car don sharp well... You wont have any reason to worry about major repairs in 1yr. And if I r hard working like a warri boy like me u should be able to clr off both interest n loan principal.

Dont go for Toyota it will break ur pocket remember ita a loan. Go fo r a cheap car but make sure it's a tok.

Dont be too desperate about making money thereby buying a 9ja used car you dont know reasons y d owner is selling. 200k wont be enough to fix up two cars. I spent about 250k on my EOD on just AC alone...

You never drive balance and get experience you want to employ somebody? Guy you get longthroat o... Forget all these sweat talks drivers are here sharing oooh...pray never to meet a bad driver you'll regret your life. Buy one motor and drive it yourself and after paying the loan then you can thinking of expanding.

Lastly, getba lawyer to study the papers on d loan b4 you proceed.

Getting a loan is far better than HP.

Wish you the very best in making your decision!!

So, I think I should post this for all to learn from it. After doing offline to Ibadan last week and elders in the house agreed the fare was OK, I decided to chat up another rider over the weekend and let her know that I do offline even out of the state. From our discussion, she said I had picked her up before and she like my driving . Unknowingly to me, her husband was looking for someone to take him to IFo in Ogun State today. I quickly jumped into it. Was told I would take him and his colleagues there wait for them prolly for the whole day and bring them back.

Long story short, I charged 40k,used 3k to buy fuel again, on Coro 009. Picked him around 7 am from Osapa London and dropped him back at VI. Luckily for me they didn't even wait for up to 2hrs in IFo.

We re back in Lagos already. Local man is happy.

Not bad if we see a potential rider and let them know that we do offline. But be cautious sha o. Shine ya eye!

Thanks a lot for the advice. Please I am not the person involved from my profile you will see that I am a lady not a guy, why won't I own up if I am the person. The person involved is my fiance hence my having every details of the cars and loan. I am not withholding any info because their is nothing to hide about. For the cars, one is Nigerian used( Honda) while one is a US used -Tukombo ( big daddy) though the seller is still insisting on 1.3ml but my fiance said since the guy is his friend if he gives him 1ml he will take. He wants to use the Honda for his personal business( He is into real estate) and Uber/taxify

Yes/No. The issue isnt the weekly remittance but the "Geo-fence" and the letter from a clergy man.

This is money ritual summarily highlighted.

donfortune48:


Bro.

I hope you know the one you bought will be charging you for suv instead of saloon?

Check your balance next time, you'll see that they charge you #360.

GAZZUZZ:

Felicity0001:

I really dont think so because the rep stated there is a ticket for SUV. Anyways, I'll check my balance later shall. because I only used it twice whice is 500 so I should be having 4500 left. If my money no complete them go hear am.

Do you know how to check the balance? Are they not supposed to print out a ticket or even send a text message after each use self, this people self. Anyways, there's still room for improvement .

Next time you use the toll, look closely into the red light that displays digit to your left. There you see your balance before you fully pass their barrier.

My third eyes tells me, you are taking the loan for your fiancé.

As a financial person, I would advice against taking a loan for a start-up business especially e-hailing where you have no control over the variables.
But if you insist, buy just one vehicle.

okorotalkative:


Well he didn't buy car for me, and he can't expect me to just start the car and head to pickup. He will now tell me they're going to Mowo. I've learnt the hard way bros.

Felicity0001:

Over ke... Only 8trips on uber since morning I think winter is still on oooh...
Me I just dey relax with one bottle of Goldberg with ponmo as I retire for the day.

I was safe trips today shal...glory to God Almighty

Felicity0001:

enh hen...now u r talking with more info. Anyways, don't mind me in former post ok, just like Peacefulhome advice invite him here to read and learn person no go fit learn for somebody.

Northbird abi watin b him name made some good advice, loans r meant for specific purpose and reasons.

The big daddy his friend wants to sell to him for 1.3m is it 03 model and accidental free? If so d price is a good deal, lucky him if the friend would sell to him 1m bros of friendship.
03 is within d price range 1.3-1.350m strong but very sluggish.
04/05= 1.5-1.550m very good car.
06=1.7m above.

If your fiance insist on going for the loan and his friend agrees to sell @1m to him let him collect a loan not more than 1.2m, the car can serve for both purposes which is his business/job and uber when ever he's free from work. Dont collect loan to buy a car and give to sb to drive its a very wrong business decision to take my sister. Bank go smile with you when they're giving d loan but when them won collect their money? Them no dey smile at all oooh...

I've said a lot let me give elders the chance to advise more.

peacefulhome:


Why not invite him here . that way he can read every advice that would be given. Am just trying to help you as a sister , helping her fellow sister.

peeps4u:


There are various cars good for this business; ranging from popular options like Hyundai, Toyota Corolla, camry (Big daddy), honda civic, someone even uses benz c230.

But the popular sentiment is that corolla is the best for this business interms of fuel economy, cost of maintenance and strength but there is another school of thought driven by dru23 that honda civic is a better option than corolla with the claim that it is more fuel efficient than corolla, less cost of maintenance, better interior and even comes cheaper than corolla.
With civic, it is quicker to recoup your investment than corolla because it is less expensive.

So in essence, you may narrow your optons to corolla, civic and seek more advices on these brands as regards to ehailing

Less I forget, Uber accepts 2000 upward while bolt accepts from 2003 upward. You may consider nothing less than 2003 brand so that your car is accepted across all platforms.

For your car registration on uber, you need

1. Valid insurance docs
2. Lagos state road worthiness.
3. Vehicle inspection report from the center accredited by any of these ehailing platforms.

In terms of investment, you can either take the rental or hire purchase options.


I think I've tried a bit.


BTW, I need a car for rental.


Good luck.
