Hackney is part of the car documents, so the owner of the car should do it, whether HP or rental, since it will carry the car details and owner details

Lasdri is a requirement for driving, so the driver should do that since it will be in his name
Seconded?

Now you've gotten my point.

100k is unfair, so e-hailing companies and e-hailing driver's should come together and negotiate it to the barest minimum with the LASG.

That is how business is done; not the living-in-denial we've been doing on this thread.

Baba, do you fill your tank with just 6k for the entire work week or 6k daily?
Sometimes daily.
Taje for instance, as I left the house this morning I went straight to the filling station where I usually buy pms; filling it cost me #4,400 with some fraction because I'd fuel in the tank b4. I started lahe today because I had to do about 20km(1hr: 29min) to visit mechanic which wasnt even around (the tin pain me reach blood) and I closed early today being Monday. b4 getting home the fuel level has gone below half tank. Tomorrow I'll have to refill again b4 going online.

Some days I buy fuel up to 10k.

If after 20min waiting, bro its better you move on. And state your reason for cancellation in the app.
Exactly what I did oh... Called the dude almost 6x no responds I didnt even move an inch from where I got the request self, I just simply cancelled, off my app then drove straight to surulere b4 putting it up again.

Thank God was able go carryout about 10trips without any cancellation apart from one impatience rider that cancelled on me when I was about 900m away from 4.5km distance.

Baba, that's high
I drive Honda Civic 2007 and i buy 3000 fuel daily for 5 days except on rare occasions when i buy from Mobil /Conoil ,which i have since stopped because they're nothing but fraud.
With that 3k fuel, i usually gross 11,500 or 12,000 sometimes and i am fine with that.
Please have your mechanic check if your 02 sensor, fuel pump or exhaust are alright, so it won't be too much work for too little gain.
Honda civic usually comes with 1.6 -1.8 litres. The fuel economy is superb.

Oga 30-35k rental is on the high side irrespective to the fact you do all repairs. Sir, I'm on rental and my partnal does all repairs including services, it would have been a blown to me had I gotten a partnal that wants me to do services and repairs less than 10/5k which is the popular norms in the business and a cheat in reality. In the US rental has laws biding both parties, major accident, negligence caused by rentee is covered by the rentee insurance company but minor repairs when reported to renter company, scratches and dents are most times covered by the renter company.

Though, their situation is different from ours over here in Nigeria, but demanding 30-35k weekly on rental because you cover every expenses is too much Sir.

Its not business as usual, most time I get just 10k or 15k after paying my partner 25k for the week and this 10-15k I talk about self I don't see it physically because it has gone in for family runs and fueling for the next day being Monday.

Don't even think I'm not a hard working man. My daily routine is 10/11am to 1-3am the next day Mondays -Wednesdays.
Thursdays I work 11am to 4-6pm so I can rest for weekends.
Friday's 11am- Sundays 1-3am.
Sundays: 3-4pm-9-10pm.

Mind you some days I could be so tired, I dont go out at all, some days I spend time at the mechanic workshop maybe 2-4hours.

In the end of the week I observed fuelling is the major consumer of the entire money because I fill my tank about 5-6times weekly at the cost of 6k.

So, if I happened to be your driver partner tell me what I'll have left after paying you 30/35k for a car not on HP Can you see how unreasonable inconsiderate and wicked that is now?
what's the HP package like, I'm thinking of getting a car for this.thank you.

My sensor, exhaust and every other thing are in good check baba. I can net 15k with 3k fuel. Sometimes less if the pickup distance is far.
It all depends, long distance trip on a highway can be very rewarding.

Take for instance, 3k fuel will take me to ibadan to and fro which can net one about 25k or more.

The main killer of the job is bolt, long distance pickup and then rider cancel.

Well, may be I didn't read your comment with clarity. I related it to the fact that you got an Honda civic on rental haven sold your Honda Accord, so i was flabbergasted with the amount of fuel you buy daily.

In HP, what I advice prospective investors to do is get a reliable driver on ground first b4 going ahead to purchase thw car.

By so doing you must have had some level of understanding and agreement on total package, weekly remitance, duration and other contract talks.

Also, be considerate in the total package. Find around the standard then state your demands to the driver. Get a sample contract paper from people already into the business then modify to suit both of you.

If after all these is settled with good understanding and some level of trust then you can proceed to getting a good car together or better still let the driver make his choice that falls within your budget.

Carry out a comprehensive insurance, get the car registered and for for operation including the heckney permit document then make compulsory d lasdri for the driver so you dont have any stories that will affect your business.

Follow up with monthly or weekly inspection of your vehicle for the first 6months and state it on the contract.

Finally, pray for safety and progress of your business.

Good luck!!!

That’s what they fail to understand. Nigeria is a third world country and cannot be compared to the west. We have a long way to go after all we’re about 6 decades old.

The problem is while growing, the people voted in should have conscience and do things properly.

Imagine Dino Melaye buying vehicles worth $2m!
